Hello @triplekpat - your question is a valid one. As I am sure you are already aware, my research is only bringing up testimonials and data that comes directly from the manufacturer. This doesn't always mean something can't have some benefit. However, your skepticism is not unjustified when it comes to potential money grabs in the realm of osteoporosis treatment.
In light of not being able to find much for information, have you had a chance to discuss supplements with your provider? Are you hoping to avoid taking stronger osteoporosis medications by taking supplements?
YES JUSTIN,
I MOST CERTAINLY WANT TO AVOID STRONGER "PRESCRIBED" MEDS, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF VERY HARMFUL SIDE EFFECTS, NOT TO MENTION THE $$$! WOULD LIKE OTC THAT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE AT LEAST SOME PROVEN RESULTS. THE PRODUCT I MENTIONED, WHILE ALSO $$, SOUNDS TOO GOOD & DOESN'T SEEM TO HAVE A FOOTPRINT, PROVEN OR OTHER. THANKS FOR YOUR RESPONSE, PAT
Hello! I looked up an ad. It sounds too good to be true which usually means it is, right? 😉
Here is what to look for -
PEER REVIEWED in scholarly work - have doctors qualified its assertions
CLINICAL TRIALS did the company test it out, and did they test it on a big enough group of peeps.
Otherwise, they are just bundling a bunch of ingredients that are known to be helpful (like the vitamin D3, etc)
It might be a great thing or it might be a waste of money.
It sounds like it might be a nice supplement if you can afford it. I'd do my homework.
My bone meds are covered by insurance. Supposedly, this terrible stuff will promote my own body (stimulate itself) to build bone and I complete the treatment at a certain point. Supposedly all this suffering I am going thru are the medications (reclast and tymlos) "doing their thing."
I think the "jury is out" on all of this - being all so new, so my "opinion" is that you have to become - we all have to become - our own best advocates and push the industry to be more accountable (both pharmaceutical and supplement companies.)
Look for the research behind the supplements, before you purchase.
Good luck!
ALWAYS GOOD ADVISE...THANKS.
