What Causes Low Bone Density?
hello, i m a 55 year old male, physically fit all my life. First detected in 2008 i ve been losing calcium through my urine currently at 900mg/24hours as measured by a 24 urine test. A very recent bone density test revealed some bone loss. Without knowing the cause of the loss, any thoughts to supplementing with calcium? thank you, Craig
