This trial tests whether specific meals can lower bone breakdown in postmenopausal women with osteopenia (thinning bones). It may help prevent osteoporosis by identifying a meal plan that protects bone health.
This study tests whether a daily probiotic supplement can help prevent bone loss in adults aged 60 and older. It is designed for people who have chosen not to take standard osteoporosis medications.
This trial tests whether a specific exercise program (circuit training) can improve bone density in women after menopause who have low bone mass. It may help strengthen bones and reduce fracture risk.
This trial tests if taking a blackcurrant supplement can help maintain bone density and reduce osteoporosis risk in postmenopausal women. You will take daily capsules and provide blood, stool, and bone scan samples over the study period.
