References for Osteoporosis from Medical Matters June 13

In regard to nutrition, the following intake levels of calcium, vitamin D and icariin flavonoid have been shown to prevent osteoporosis and can even help patients with osteoporosis regain some of their bone density back: calcium - minimum 1,500 mg (1,100 from supplementation; 500-900 mg is typically ingested via the North American diet); vitamin D - 1,200-1,400 IU; and icariin flavonoid: 60 mg (from Epimedium).
