Bone health is built over a lifetime, and nutrition plays a critical role at every stage.
In this three-module course, you'll gain a deeper understanding of how micronutrients influence bone development, maintenance, and healthy aging.
Explore the science behind bone physiology, bone remodeling, and age-related bone loss while learning how evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle interventions can help support long-term skeletal health.
Designed for health, nutrition, and wellness professionals, this course translates research into practical knowledge you can apply in clinical practice, client counseling, health education, and wellness programming.
Throughout the course, you'll explore the biological, nutritional, and lifestyle factors that influence bone health, including:
This research-based continuing education course is designed for professionals who want to expand their knowledge of nutrition and bone health, including:
Course content is developed by experts from the Micronutrient Information Center at Oregon State University's Linus Pauling Institute, a trusted source of science-based information on vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, and other dietary factors that influence human health.
The Micronutrient Information Center is dedicated to translating nutrition research into accurate, accessible information that supports disease prevention, health promotion, and informed healthcare practice.
When you enroll, you'll learn from content grounded in rigorous scientific research and developed by recognized experts in micronutrient science.

Victoria J. Drake earned a B.A. in Biology from Grinnell College in 1998. After working as a Research Assistant at The University of Iowa in the field of redox biology and aging, she pursued graduate studies in nutrition at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In 2006, Victoria received her Ph.D. in Nutritional Sciences with an emphasis in Biochemical and Molecular Nutrition. Victoria has worked for the Linus Pauling Institute’s Micronutrient Information Center (MIC) since 2006, first as a Research Associate and now as its Manager. In the past 12 years, she has written, updated, and edited MIC articles and has co-authored two textbooks based on MIC content. Victoria has successfully managed several projects at the LPI, including MIC website redesigns, creation of both the Spanish MIC and Japanese MIC, and addition of the MIC's Health & Disease section.
Barbara Delage earned a B.S. in Genetics and Biochemistry and an M.S. and Ph.D. in Nutrition and Food Science from the University of Bordeaux, France. Her doctoral thesis investigated the role of overweight and obesity in the promotion of colon cancer. As a nutrition scientist, she spent many years in research laboratories exploring the biological effects of micronutrients and dietary factors in the promotion of health and the prevention of chronic conditions like cancer. She worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the Linus Pauling Institute (2005-2008); at Barts Cancer Institute, Queen Mary University of London, UK (2008-2010); and at Unilever R&D, UK (2010-2011).
