OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research was to examine the effects of the short-duration (4 weeks) @entity560 supplementation on biochemical bone markers, muscle strength and balance of the postmenopausal females. MATERIAL AND METHOD: The @entity1 consisted of 52 female @entity1 from Chulalongkorn University, aged between 45-55 years old. They were divided into two groups: 26 females in the @entity560 supplementation (VID) and 26 females in the control group (CON) by the simple random sampling method. The experimental group received 20,000 IU of @entity7218 per week, for a period of 4 weeks. The control group did not receive @entity7218 . The collected data before and after the experiment were the results of the physiology test, the biochemical bone markers, the muscle strength and the balance ability. The collected data were compared and analyzed by the mean and standard deviation. The differences of the tests are statistically significant at the 0.05 level. RESULTS: After the 4-week experiment, the @entity7218 supplementation group had significantly improved balance ability on normal stability surfaces when being compared with the pretest and the control group (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION: A short-term @entity7218 supplementation had positive effect on balance. This is, therefore, a good alternative for postmenopausal @entity1 and may reduce the risks of falling in @entity1 in particular.
