A high percentage of people still think that osteoporosis is an issue only for women and/or the elderly when, in fact, it affects everyone. Without enough calcium, bones thin out, become brittle, and can easily break.
Specialty Minerals Inc. (SMI) has prepared an information sheet on osteoporosis including its risks and its prevention. The sheet is an educational tool intended for two sets of customers: those who use our precipitated calcium carbonates (PCCs) and ground calcium carbonates (GCCs) to make calcium-fortified foods, nutritional supplements and calcium based antacids, as well as the ultimate end-users of those products who hope to keep their bones strong.
