The density of the subject's lumbar vertebrae is
5
determined by dual -energy x-ray absorptionetry. The human
subject is then administered 4 of the calcium tablets and
one trace mineral capsules comprised as above, each day for
12 months. The mass of the subject's vertebrae is then
remeasured, indicating a net increase in bone mass.

The table shows that the calcium and trace minerals
25
supplement affects bone density and shows a net bone build-
ing effect of about 2.24% compared to the placebo group.
The calcium trace mineral supplement effect is significant-
ly different from the dual placebo treatment at a 95%
confidence level. The dual placebo patients had at least a
30
2%% loss over the one year period, the calcium/trace miner-
als patients showed little or no bone loss and thus a net
increase of bone mass
Example II
Preparation of Calcium-Citrate-Malate

A calcium-citrate~malate solution is prepared by
dissolving 2 parts sucrose and then 0.1 part citric and
0.28 part malic acids in 28.19 parts water.
