Women who suffer from diabetes may want to consider taking nutritional supplements such as vitamin D and calcium, as a new study suggests that some medication for the disease may leave older females at a greater risk for bone fractures.
Scientists are in the process of determining ways to keep bones strong and healthy in hopes of discovering how to prevent osteoporosis. While some nutritionists believe that nutritional supplements such as vitamin D and calcium could be good for bone strength, researchers are examining a tissue culture that grows human bones.

A new study shows that a chemical found in green tea can stimulate bone formation and help slow its breakdown. The study done by researchers in Hong Kong and published in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry finds that EGC, a main compound in green tea, boosted the activity of a key enzyme that promotes bone growth by up to 79 percent.
A new study suggests that people who suffer from depression are also at risk for low bone mineral density. The study published in the journal Biological Psychiatry pooled data from both depressed and non-depressed individuals compiled over the past 14 years.

Recent research has helped us to understand the relationship between high cholesterol and osteoporosis and discovered a way in which the immune system plays a role in the bone condition. Researchers from UCLA used human blood samples to isolate immune T cells. They combined half of them with normal LDL cholesterol and the rest with oxidized LDL. After they stimulated half of the cells to mimic an immune response they found that they started producing a chemical called RANKL that stimulates cells whose purpose is to destroy bone.
Research has shown that vitamin D can help strengthen bones because it promotes calcium absorption. However, patients who suffer from long-term liver disease or cirrhosis experience decreased bone strength, a new study reveals.
