Bone density scans are used to screen patients for osteoporosis, a condition where bones become brittle and leads to fractures. This condition becomes more prevalent as we grow older due to our bodies lack of estrogen used to build up our bones.  

Support your bones after menopause by ensuring adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D with routine weight-bearing exercises like walking, dancing, and most sports.  

Recommendations: 

Calcium – 1,200 mg/day  

Most supplement brands contain ~600mg of calcium per tablet 

Vitamin D3 – 800 – 1,000 IU (International Units) 

800 IU --> 20 mcg  

1,000 IU --> 25 mcg
