True or False?

This is our latest question in the Liquid Sunshine Vitamin D Instant Win and Sweepstakes at http://vitamind.wellesse.com/

True! Although women have a higher risk and prevalence of osteoporosis, men are also susceptible. According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 20 percent of those with osteoporosis are men.

One in every eight men over the age of 50 will suffer a hip fracture because of osteoporosis, according to statistics from Oregon Health Services University. Trouble is, men often are not screened for the disorder until they have their first broken bone.

It is just as important for men and women to get enough calcium and vitamin D for strong bones now and later in life. Take a liquid calcium and vitamin D supplement with at least 1000 IU of vitamin D. Get a bone density test and your blood levels checked for vitamin D deficiency.
