For years, researchers have proven the positive benefits that both calcium
and vitamin D have on individuals. The two coupled together, have consistently
been linked to the prevention of osteoporosis, a slower aging process and
decreased injuries in older adults.
New research has begun to reveal that vitamin D, along with calcium intake in
the elderly, can lead to longer life expectancy rates. In a study led by Lars
Rejnmak, Ph.D it was discovered that older patients, who were given both
supplements benefited from a longer life span over those without proper
supplementation. Researchers also added that these results were not connected to
a lower number of fracture risks or incidence.
“We found that calcium with vitamin D supplementation to elderly patients…may
have beneficial effects on general health.”
Calcium and vitamin D have been proven to prevent fracture in all
individuals, especially the elderly. Both supplements help to prevent tooth
loss, slow weight gain and increase immune system functioning.
