What supplements help Osteopenia, Osteoporosis?

Try to think back about what you may have changed.it can also increase with drop in estrogen at menopause. Mine went up a few points with menopause, but the vitamin k increase was pretty remarkable. I’m just glad it went back down, needs to go further.

Yes, same lab, mine wasn’t normal to begin with and early cardiac death in my family. I had to bring the research, but three doctors and nutritionist have said Vit K, not worth the risk for me.

My oncologist said DIM could also enhance reactivity to Estrogen, similar pathways. Ironically, I can use low dose transdermal estrogen, but not DIM.

That's a mystery, isn't it? The info in my earlier reply to you is from Stanford's cardiology grand rounds and a presentation at NYU Langone. The doctors stated LPa is indeed most atherogenic. So it's very concerning if I were you.

Have you considered taking natto? It's the most rich source of mk7. I won't be surprised the supplements are made using natto. But if your LPa is affected by mk7, then no.

Natto promotes heart health via its nattokinase and copper, something to think about.

I'm sorry as I don't understand a lot of the medical terminology as I have
no access to much out here where I live and no medical care anymore because
lack of transportation and circumstances put me in a bad way. It's serious,
and I can't respond to emails and read the posts as I'd like to. Thank you
for responding and for your feedback. Pamela

I want to reply as I was on Fosamax but the doctor gave me information that
is important and my dentist told me the same information as well. I was
told Fosamax affects the mouth/jaw bones? And if you need dental work done,
it's best to tell dentist on Fosamax. Did the doctor tell you about this?
I'm just curious because i notice some doctors give important information
to me and others say nothing and I notice most doctors tell me nothing.

What are T-scores and is osteoporosis and any bone related problems a problem related to the endocrine system? I know of your not a doctor, I have so many medical problems and doctors I've seen don't work together and tell me nothing when I ask and it didn't used to be this way.

@rubles, simply put the T-Score is the easiest and most commonly used number on a DXA bone density scan to tell you what your bone density is. The T-score will compare a patient’s bone density against that of a healthy 30-year-old person.
T-scores between -1 and -2.5 indicate that a person has low bone mass, but it’s not quite low enough for them to be diagnosed with osteoporosis. A diagnosis of osteoporosis is made if a person’s T-score is -2.5 or lower. So if the number is negative (-) the bigger the number the more porous the bones. Thus a T-score of -4 is worse than a score of -2.5.
And yes, bone problems do relate to the endocrine system and many other body systems. Hopefully you can find doctors who are willing to explain things to you.

Thank you for helpful information. I also have kidney disease and damage. This also effects the bones but doctors wont go into this either. So I'll leave this alone and thanks again

Yes my endocrinologist mentioned this risk but did say rare and given I’m 58 I said may need crown and/or root canal and he and my dentist said not a concern. They are concerned however if you need surgery as an implant! Still anxious so i sure hope this oral Fosamax works to improve scores but won’t know until an entire yr for next DEXA!
