Human Intervention Study With Calcium Phosphate and Vitamin D

November 6, 2012 updated by: Gerhard Jahreis, University of Jena

The Effect of Vitamin D3 Alone and in Combination With Calcium Phosphate on Bone Metabolism in Healthy Adults

The study was conducted to investigate the effect of vitamin d3 alone and in combination with calcium phosphate on bone metabolism and further physiological parameters in healthy subjects. It is postulated that calcium phosphate beneficially influences the bone specific action of vitamin d3.
