Osteoporosis and low bone mass are currently estimated to be a major public health threat, The most recent definition of osteoporosis is a disease characterized by loss of bone mass, accompanied by micro architectural deterioration of bone tissue, which leads to an unacceptable increase in the risk of skeletal failure; the micronutrients of greatest importance are calcium and vitamin D. Calcium has been shown to have beneficial effects on bone mass at all ages, although the results are not always consistent. Throughout the life cycle the skeleton requires optimum development and maintenance of its integrity to prevent fracture. Bones break because the loads placed on them exceed the ability of the bone to absorb the energy involved.
