  1. Increase peak bone mass and improve bone quality. The calcium content in human bones reaches its peak at around 35 years old, which is called peak bone mass in medicine. The higher the peak bone mass, the more “calcium bank” reserves in the human body. In old age, calcium loss is naturally forbidden. .

   2. Correct bad habits. Information shows that bad habits such as smoking, drinking, coffee, and overeating of red meat have a boosting effect on the occurrence and development of osteoporosis.

Calcium carbonate and calcium acetate are preferred. It is worth noting that consumers need to be vigilant about some advertising recommendations so as not to affect the efficacy.

The high-risk groups of osteoporosis mainly include: dislike sports, long-term indoor work, irregular diet, exposure to hormone drugs, etc. For those prone to osteoporosis, it is very important to strengthen health education and early scientific intervention.
