BONE-STRENGTHENING AGENTS, FOOD COMPOSITIONS FOR STRENGTHENING BONE AND FEED COMPOSITIONS FOR STRENGTHENING BONE

摘要

Novel bone-strengthening agents, food compositions for strengthening bone and feed compositions for strengthening bone which aim at preventing a decrease in bone density in association with the onset or progress of osteoporosis. It is found out that not merely added-up effects but synergistic effects can be achieved by the combined use of CPP, which is known as promoting the absorption of calcium essentially required in normal bone and thus exerting an effect of strengthening bone, with genistein which promotes osteogenesis and thus exert an effect of strengthening bone.
