I was thinking the same thing. I belong to a Facebook group that is geared to providing exercises to strengthen and build bone density. the main person in that group is a physical therapist
trained in osteoporosis. she felt that osteo strong was not the best choice because they do not have enough data and studies to support it. My p physiatrist told me not to lift heavy weights because it would hurt my back.

You don't need to lift heavy weights to get an osteo advantage. Even small weights with repetition is enough. Walking and other weight-bearing and resistance helps as well. If you haven't had PT for your osteo, you might consider that for safely using weights, exercise bands, and other tools. My osteo has stabilized with weights and other exercises and Reclast infusions; sometimes it is good to just slow down the bone loss.
