Folic acid and other supplements may help prevent osteoporosis

Two recent studies have confirmed suspicions that people with elevated blood homocysteine levels have a higher incidence of osteoporosis and hip fractures. The implication is that methods for lowering homocysteine levels should also lower the incidence of osteoporosis and hip fractures. Among the nutritional supplements having homocysteine-lowering effects are folic acid, melatonin, trimethylglycine, vitamin B-6, and methylcobalamin.
