The purpose of the research is to see if we can maintain or improve bone health in adults who have NF1 by giving them vitamin D and calcium supplements for two years.

As you may know, osteoporosis (loss of bone density that can lead to bone breakage, spine curvature, and other problems) is a common concern in NF1. We hope to show whether or not vitamin D supplements will protect people's bones.
