Peak bone mass is now. After 30, it's all downhill unless you do this...
Peak bone density occurs between ages 20-30. After 30, you lose approximately 1% per year. Weight-bearing exercise and resistance training can generate 2-3% gain per year — even after age 60.
Calcium alone without exercise is largely wasted. Vitamin D deficiency affects 60% of the population and accelerates bone loss dramatically. The window to build bone is right now.
Peak bone mass: your window is 20-30.
After 30, you lose roughly 1% a year.
By 70 that's 40% of your peak density, which is why fractures become life-threatening.
Here's what actually reverses it: resistance training.
2-3% gain per year, even after 60.
Calcium supplements without exercise do almost nothing.
Vitamin D deficiency affects 60% of the population and accelerates every stage of loss.
