Sept. 19, 2008 — A high intake of vitamin C may help reduce bone loss, at least in elderly men, according to a new study.
“Vitamin C had an effect on the [bone density of] hips in men, but it didn’t have an effect on women,” says Katherine L. Tucker, PhD, a senior scientist at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University and senior author of the study. It is published in the Journal of Nutrition.
