Calcium supplementation addresses osteoporosis prevention and treatment. However, this disorder is not principally due to a lack of calcium, but to an imbalance in the bone remodeling action of the osteoclast cells that break down bone, and the osteoblast cells that build up new bone. Remodeling imbalance presents a wider therapeutic issue that mineral supplementation cannot in itself address, however, achieving optimal mineral conditions is a critical step. Other factors like lifestyle or hormonal therapy will address remodeling imbalance.
