Oral radioactive calcium absorption tests were performed on 15 elderly osteoporotic patients of ages ranging from 70 to 98 years. Each individual had two tests using calcium gluconate and whole-bone extract as alternate carriers. It was found that the whole-bone extract significantly increased absorption of the tracer suggesting that it is a valuable medium for calcium administration in metabolic bone disease.
