I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

I tried the Whole Foods/plant based way of eating years ago (I admit I felt the best I ever did on it) but I now know that I didn't eat enough protein and more specifically, calcium. Since I'm suffering now with severe arthritis, I thinking on eating this way again.
Do you take supplements (calcium, multi, D, K, etc)? And how do you know if you're getting enough calcium and protein?

I had been taking many herbal and vitamin supplements- all well researched and considered extremely safe. I listened to a cardiologist on Doctor Radio that said that taking any supplements was a bad idea-get all you need from food. His explanation was that supplements are not USDA regulated. I am experimenting with taking no supplements. Any thoughts?

I take D3, MK-4, MK-7, Magnesium. I upped my calcium intake with food and my calcium was in a good ranger according to a blood test. I'm sure others will weigh in.
As far as protein goes, the daily recommendation is 0.4 grams per pound of body weight. So, if you're a 140-lb. woman, you need about 60 grams of protein per day. Found this online:
