COMPOSITION FOR REDUCING BONE FRACTURE RISK AND/OR PREVENTING BONE FRACTURE

摘要

Disclosed is a medicinal composition, a food composition or a feed composition which is efficacious for reducing bone fracture risk or preventing bone fractures in adult and geriatric human males or male mammals. The aforesaid compositions were developed based on the finding that, due to the administration of an effective amount of zinc to a human female or female mammal during the periods when the female is fertile, pregnant or lactating, the risk of bone fractures in a human male or male mammal born to the human female or female mammal can be significantly reduced when the human male or male mammal reaches adulthood or later.
