PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To obtain an antiosteoporotic agent easily and commonly usable and capable of manifesting mild therapeutic and preventing effects by including a trehalose as an active ingredient. SOLUTION: This antiosteoporotic agent preferably as a preventing agent for osteoporosis, a therapeutic agent for the osteroporosis and a differentiation induction inhibitor of osteoclasts is obtained by including >=0.1% (wt./wt.) of a trehalose as an active ingredient and preferably another ingredient for facilitating the ingestion of the trehalose. In this case, a raw material and/or a material used for foods, e.g. water, an alcohol, a starch, a protein or a fiber may be formulated as the ingredient for facilitating the ingestion of the trehalose. Furthermore, a healthy food material such as a glucide for proliferating bifidus bacteria or a milk powder can be formulated. The trehalose is daily ingested so as to provide preferably 1-50 g/adult/day intake or ingested 1-5 times/week. |
