Calcium deficiency

According to one poll conducted in the United States, fewer than 15% of teenage girls, 10% of women over 50, and 22% of teenage males and men over 50 reached the necessary calcium consumption. Although supplementation boosted these figures marginally, most people still did not acquire enough calcium. Soft bones (rickets) in youngsters and osteoporosis, especially in elderly individuals, are symptoms of progressively severe dietary calcium insufficiency.
