摘要

COMPOSITION FOR OSTEOPOROSIS INHIBITIONBY DIETARY CALCIUM SUPPLEMENTATIONABSTRACTA composition for dietary calcium supplementation. Oraldosage of a composition comprising calcium citrate is utilizedto provide an efficiently absorbable chemical form of calcium,while raising urinary level of citrate. Because of improvedabsorption of calcium, osteoporosis development is precluded.Since citrate retards precipitation of stone-forming calciumstones, the risk of calcium nephrolithiasis (resulting fromcalcium supplementation) is reduced.
