Effect of soluble corn fiber supplementation for 1  year on bone metabolism in children, the MetA-bone trial: Rationale and design

Calcium intake is critical for adequate bone mineralization in adolescence, but it is usually inadequate in US adolescents. A strategy to maximize bone mineralization is to increase calcium absorption, which could be achieved by soluble corn fiber (SCF). There are no studies determining the long-term effects of SCF on bone mass in children.
