Because vitamin D and calcium build bone mass, and well, osteoporosis means porous bones. So, theoretically, D & calcium fill the holes a little :)

Is calcium in vitamin c?
No calcium is in pure vitamin C. It is possible a manufacture may prepare the calcium salt of vitamin C in its formulation. The label would indicate that.
This vitamin helps your body absorb calcium and phosphorus?
I believe you are asking what vitamin helps calcium to be absorbed. It would be vitamin-D; most popular calcium supplements have been including vitamin-D in their product for quite some time now .
Why would serum calcium be elevated in osteoporosis?
Serum calcium will be depleted in advances osteoporosis. Calcium mostly resides in the bones. In osteoporsosis, the bone is being broken down faster than the body can rebuild it. This causes calcium stores to go from the bones and into the blood stream. Serum calcium is the measure of calcium in the blood, not what is in the bones.
What vitamin assists absorption of calcium?
I believe that would be vitamin D.
Are there any nutritional diets that can help eliminate osteopoerosis?
Osteoporosis is a condition in which bone density decreases, leaving the bones brittle and easily breakable. To prevent bone loss, eat a diet full of calcium. Also, a calcium supplement would help prevent osteoporosis.
What foods fight osteoperosis?
Once you have osteoporosis, there are no foods which will "reverse" the decline in bone density. (Once you have osteoporosis, additional calcium and vitamin D will probably prove beneficial, but only in combination with drug treatment. Furthermore, it is not normally possible to achieve the necessary levels of calcium/vitamin D supplementation solely through dietary/lifestyle changes. It would require eating a vast amount, which just results in additional problems.) However, a healthy diet can help prevent the onset of osteoporosis. This should include two servings of oily fish per week, plenty of green vegetables, pulses and dairy. Low-fat dairy typically has a higher calcium content than wholemilk dairy. The best source of vitamin D is sunlight; spending time outdoors without sunblock when it's sunny is essential for healthy bones. (However this benefit is completely negated if you get sunburn ). Weight bearing exercise also plays a key role in helping to prevent osteoporosis. Exercising outdoors, such as running or walking is a great way of boosting vitamin D levels too.
What does of lack of calcium cause to bones?
Lack of calcium will cause osteoporosis, a condition that leaves a person's bones brittle and easily broken. This is more common in women of post-menepausal age. Women of Northern European or Asian decent are at a higher risk. Along with calcium supplements vitamin D must also be taken, calcium cannot be absorbed without vitamin D.
How can you prevent from getting osteoporosis?
Osteoporosis is the result of lack of calcium in the bones. Proper absorption of calcium combined with proper diet would help retain the calcium in the bones. For example: too much milk would actually leech the calcium from the bones, thus promoting osteoporosis.
How do you cure ricketts disease?
How do you cure Rickets disease? Rickets can have several causes, and the cure depends on the cause. The most common cause is lack of vitamin D, which the body needs to use calcium correctly. Vitamin D can be obtained through diet (vitamin tablets or vitamin D rich foods such as butter, eggs, oily fishes, fortified milk) or sun exposure (the body actually makes this vitamin when the skin is exposed to sunlight!) Lack of calcium itself can also cause rickets. Increasing calcium in the diet would help here (dairy products, especially). There are other rare metabolic causes of rickets which would need individualized medical intervention to treat.
Which dietary supplements would be the MOST helpful to minimize bone loss?
Calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
