Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will determine if daily oral intake of 200g of a marketed yogurt with fortified calcium content and a milk basic protein (MBP)80 mg benefits on bone cells activity in postmenopausal women. The efficacy of the product is measured by examining the variation of biochemical markers of bone turnover. MBP 80 is a particular protein contained in milk; it has been added to the yogurt provided for this study. The effects of MBP 80 on the quality of bone tissue have not yet been proven.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The morbidity and mortality associated with osteoporotic related fractures is devastating in terms of disability to an individual and cost to the global economy. As the world's population ages, this will present a major public health issue since a larger proportion of women remain undiagnosed and untreated even with the availability of therapies and calcium and vitamin D supplements. Consequently, it remains important to evaluate dairy products (milk, cheese, and yogurt) that can be safely provided as a supplement for bone health in addition to the current pharmacological treatments.

The rationale of this study is to assess the beneficial effect of a daily dietary supplement of MBP 80 mg in a yogurt matrix with fortified calcium content on bone remodelling in healthy early postmenopausal women with neither osteoporosis nor estrogens/progestin therapy.
