Lactulose and Bones

I have just been reading that lactulose inhibits bone loss in post menopausal women AND increases absorption of Vit D, calcium and magnesium. Has anybody else come across this?. It seems too good to be true. I was looking at the safety of using it long term as since I have had osteoporosis I have been taking 15ml daily as the meds I am taking cause constipation.

Google it Mark there are numerous articles and a study on whether they should add it to Vit D and calcium supplements.
