Bones & Joints

Bone is lost silently for years before anything breaks, and the window to build it is long before that. This is about the decades rather than the week.

What actually helps
  • Calcium with vitamin D — a calcium supplement alone is half the job.
  • Weight-bearing exercise, which signals bone to rebuild.
  • Splitting doses: 500mg at a time absorbs better than 1000mg in one go.
  • Patience with joint supplements, which take three months to judge.
