Hi Alif, you asked "just wondered if you know if daily Vit D is better than once a month."
I have not researched it. But I should research if the monthly Vitamin dose results in the same outcome as a daily dose. Taking it once a month would be one less thing to juggle in this osteoporosis journey.
May I ask what type of dr prescribed the D3 supplement, an endocrinologist, gyn, general practicioner...? I am still trying to find a dr who really understands all of this and specifically osteoporosis.
Also, are you currently taking or considering either a bone building medication like Tymlos or a bone maintenance one like Fosamax? If so, are you using the same dr?
Until then I am supplementing as well as doing weight bearing exercise. I am currently using 6 pound waist weight while I walk 30 minutes a day at the rate of 3 miles an hour. I need a better waist/hip weight to wear all day.
I also lift weights for upper body and a glute workout. I blew my knee trying to do deadlifts using no weight now but will slowly build up. My normal knee is fine so i try to do lunges and deadlifts putting all my weight on my good leg.
