Nutrients connected to Osteoporosis
A link means the body needs the nutrient for this, or that low intake is linked to it. It does not mean extra supplements help if your intake is already adequate; each link shows how strong the evidence is.
- CalciumDeficiency link
Long-term low calcium intake can lead to thin, weaker bones. Enough calcium and vitamin D is part of prevention and treatment advice, alongside other measures.
- Vitamin ADocumented risk
The NHS says long-term intake above 1.5 mg a day may make bones more likely to fracture; a meta-analysis of prospective studies found high preformed vitamin A intake linked to more hip fracture (observational).
- Vitamin DDeficiency link
MedlinePlus says deficiency can weaken bones, causing osteoporosis in adults. This is not the same as saying supplements prevent osteoporosis in people who are not deficient.
- CopperDeficiency link
MedlinePlus says low copper may lead to osteoporosis; this is a deficiency link, not evidence that supplements treat osteoporosis.
