Few interventions directly compare equivalent calcium and vitamin D from dairy vs supplements on the same bone outcomes.Objectives and Methods: Using 41Ca tracer techniques, determine if 4 servings/d of dairy foods reduces Ca excretion more than an equivalent amount of Ca and vitamin D from supplements. Secondary objective was to evaluate the time course for change in Ca excretion.Design: In this crossover trial, postmen...
