Nutritional supplements can help you avoid osteoporosis, no matter what risk factors you may have. Calcium and Magnesium work together and if you add in exercise you’ll build bone even better. Supplements need to be taken throughout your lifetime. Women who are in postmenopausal and do not take calcium supplements lose approximately 2% of bone mass per year. Taking 1,000 to 1,600 mg of calcium supplement a day decreases this rate to 1%, and reduces bone fractures by 50%! Unless magnesium is also present in your body, you may be simply excreting the calcium supplement you are taking. Magnesium plays as much a role in bone density as calcium. Magnesium will act as a bonding agent that binds calcium, fluorine and other important minerals to build bone. Take a daily maximum amount of magnesium, at least 350 - 400 mg a day is suggested for healthy bones. Do something about osteoporosis before it dose something to you. Drugs for osteoporosis are not miracles. These drugs have harmful side effects and limited benefits. The best medicine for this potentially crippling condition is prevention by taking supplements.

The risk of osteoporosis factors in when you are female and older. Nutritional supplements can help you avoid osteoporosis, no matter what risk factors you may have.

You are fit enough to do other active things but don't have the residual bone strength. Plus bike crashes can be much higher impact. Also, note the calcium deficiencies caused by sweat. I think all these things make for a osteoporosis cocktail. Sedentary adults aren't going to have the calcium leeching and due to their heft are probably doing OK one stressing their bones for re-growth. Now their joints on the other hand . . .
