Future studies investigating the long-term effects of chronic high protein intake on bone tissue health are warranted.
Practitioners should consider the need for ongoing research into the long-term impacts of high protein diets on bone health.

While these findings indicate that protein intake between 2 and 3 times the current RDI does not promote bone demineralization when consumed in conjunction with exercise, future studies investigating the long-term effects of chronic high protein intake on bone tissue health are warranted.
