Did you know?
- A decades-long decrease in Vitamin D levels globally has greatly increased the prevalence of: rickets, stress fractures, bone fractures and hip fractures
- Rickets is no longer prevented by just 400 IU of Vitamin D - 1200 IU is likely needed
- Healthy bones need more than Vitamin D - and not just calcium:
magnesium, vitamin K2, boron, silicon and protein are also essential
