Bone health
Prepare your questions before an appointment. Discuss nutrition, treatment and personal history together so choices reflect your actual needs.
Calcium and vitamin D matter for bone health. Whether a supplement is needed, and in what amount, should be assessed individually.
Four questions for your conversation
- Which calcium-containing foods are part of my usual week?
- Are there dietary restrictions I should mention?
- Do I already take calcium, vitamin D or other supplements?
- Which tests or previous fractures should I discuss with my doctor?
Your next step
Bring your treatment list and available test results to the appropriate professional. Do not change prescribed treatment based on an educational article.
