Key Findings
- A study in Fujian explored a new osteoporosis treatment using a mushroom-derived calcium chelate
- The chelate improved bone health markers and reduced bone damage in a mouse model of aging
- It worked by affecting pathways crucial for bone repair and growth, showing potential for human use
