MenopauseRx Calcium Survey
Sent September 21, 2004 - 2570 people responded within 48 hours

Survey Background Information/Summary:
MenopauseRx conducted a brief nation-wide survey to help us better educate women about calcium. 

This survey revealed that a significant number of women do not take calcium supplements. Of those that do take calcium supplements, many did not start their calcium use until after peak bone development occurred. Considering that most women do not achieve adequate calcium intake through diet alone, education is needed to promote the use of calcium supplements for peak bone health.
