Welcome to Connect, Doreen. I’m not an expert on Osteoporisis by a means but I’ve been holding my own now for the past 4 years with the exercises you mentioned and Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Calcium. As part of my followup care for a medical treatment I had, I have annual DEXA scans and like I said, so far so good. There’s another one on my schedule in two days so we’ll see if I did any backsliding or not.

My husband and I follow the Mediterranean diet, so I eat a lot of veggies, fruit, lean meat and healthy fats. Plus I drink Fairlife Fat Free milk which is higher in calcium and protein. My supplements are just basic over-the-counter gummies. The Vitamin D3 and Calcium gummies are from Vita-fusion. I don’t always take the extra Vit D3 daily as there is also Vit D3 in the Calcium gummies. Magnesium Glycinate from Pure Encapsulations is the type and brand of mag I take, which is very kind to the digestive system…no surprises like I had with Mag Citrate!

Sometimes all of this is beyond the scope of what we can do for ourselves and that’s where the meds come into play. And I know there are other supplements and vitamins mentioned in conversations with other members in the forum who are more versed in this than I am. But these have worked for me.

There are so many different conversations in the osteoporosis support group, please take your time to look through other discussions too for more information. There are several for Evenity and some comparing Evenity and Tymlos…just to name a couple. You can search for Evenity by typing that in the search bar at the top! You’ll see all the discussions about that Osteoporisis drug.

Are you working with an endocrinologist for your osteoporosis?
