Vitamin D And Calcium From Food, But Not Supplements, May Be Linked To Reduced Risk For Early Menopause,

reported that research suggests “vitamin D and calcium from food, but not supplements, were associated with a decreased risk for early menopause, and the hormones in dairy food may partly explain why.” Investigators found that “compared with women with the least amount of vitamin D in their diet, those with the most were 17% less likely to undergo menopause before the age of 45.” But, “compared with women who did not take vitamin D supplements, those who took the recommended daily allowance of 600 IUs or more had no significant change in risk.” The findings were published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. https://www.medpagetoday.com/clinicalfocus/osteoporosis/68303
