I have been going to Osteostrong for a little over six months. I am relatively young, 65, somewhat athletic, have been diagnosed with osteopenia. I also have osteoarthritis but it's 100% controlled (no pain/symptoms) by not eating sugar or starchy foods. I have learned to pay attention to correlations between what I eat and pain. I have a hunch my diet helps my joint & bone health by keeping inflammation super low. I do have unresolved occasional sharp pain at the top of my right hip which is the same general region as the worst measured osteopenia in my body.

I had a DXA scan three years ago and had one recently. My DXA scores in my spine improved 4.7%. Since I have only been doing Osteostrong for 6 months, it is likely the majority of my improvements on my DXA scan were because I have been on a hormone patch (estrogen & progesterone since I still have a uterus). Hard to tell under the circumstances how much gain is attributable to Osteostrong. All measures except the right neck femur (hip area) were improved significantly, around 1.5% except that spine score which was really big as I mentioned, 4.7%. During that time I was also going to a gym and lifting heavy weight, so that in combination with the estrogen might have helped me build bone. My endocrinologist thinks the estrogen patch made the difference. Of course being a conservative sort he might be reluctant to give Osteostrong any credit.

Once I have another DXA scan in a year or so I will report back.
