Abstract
Calcium supplementation has a significant effect on a number of biomarkers of bone remodeling, an effect that is, in turn, correlated with decreased fracture risk. Most studies of the efficacy of calcium supplementation in reducing bone remodeling and influencing bone mineral density and fracture risk have involved calcium carbonate, although a few studies have found that other calcium salts may produce similar results.
