Abstract

In this review/research article the effect of supplementation of bioavailable calcium to treat or eliminate osteopenia and osteoporosis has been discussed. Various ailments which can be corrected through supplementation of the bioavailable calcium have been documented. The transport of bioavailable calcium (both active and passive) and the conditions under which such transport systems get hampered have also been discussed. The importance of Multiple Mixed Strain Probiotics to improve not only the bioavailability but also absorption and assimilation of calcium and other major and minor minerals has also been stressed.
