After 1 year of supplementation, the average hip bone mineral density loss was approximately 0.05% in the vitamin D treatment group, versus an approximate 0.60% loss in the placebo group. Serum calcium levels also significantly increased in the vitamin D group.5 REFERENCES 1. Veronese N, Berton L, Carraro S, Bolzetta F, De Rui M, Perissinotto E, Tofanello ED.
