from Health News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

New research throws cold water on decades of advice: calcium and vitamin D pills may not prevent fractures or falls in most older adults. A massive review of 154,000 people across 69 trials found minimal to no real benefit—whether taken alone or together. Experts are urging health guidelines to rethink routine supplementation and instead focus on proven strategies like balance training and personalized fall prevention plans.
