Micronutrients & recovery

There is insufficient evidence to determine the benefit of vitamin D, calcium, or combined supplementation for preventing fractures in community-dwelling men and premenopausal women.

For men and premenopausal women, current research does not provide enough information to say whether vitamin D and calcium supplements prevent fractures. Because the evidence is insufficient and there are known risks (like kidney stones), these supplements are not recommended for primary fracture prevention in these groups.
