Abstract
Osteoporosis is an arising socio-economic and medical warning identified by systemic skeletal disease leads to insidious bone mass loss and strength. As estimated, more than 200 million people in the world are suffering from osteoporosis. Bone loss cannot be reversed on its own but mineral can be restored by taking a dietary supplement of stimulated non-fat, calcium fortified milk. It can be lactose treated for lactase-deficient patients. Studies reveal that calcium bioavailability of calcium fortified milk is slightly higher than unfortified cow milk. Phytates and oxalates in pulses and green leafy vegetables lower the bioavailability of calcium by forming insoluble calcium complexes. Various studies suggest that selection of appropriate calcium sources with respect to sensory quality and in-vivo absorbability, to prevent osteoporosis and to maximize life quality. Daily intake of 1200 mg of non-fat, calcium fortified milk appears to be acceptable measure in osteoporotic patients. Sufficient amounts of vitamin D are also necessary for maximum calcium absorption and bone mass restoration. To combat with this disease, there is an urgent need to cover up the myths about milk that it can be substituted with plant-based foods having calcium levels.
