I reversed osteoporosis without drugs

I, too, would like to stop taking my supplements and get all my nutrients from food but in reality (for me) I'm not sure I'd meet the daily minimum requirements. Currently my calcium intake is sufficient- 470 mg in 8 oz soy milk every morning, 300 mg in multi, 400 mg in 2 Citracal Petites. I could drop the Citracal and just have another glass of soy but I never really get around to that second glass of soy milk. Where I'm having an issue is with getting enough protein every day. I'm thinking of using a protein powder (which I never tried before) to boost protein intake. I eat meat and fish occasionally so I can't really calculate that into my daily protein count.

You are correct about supplements not being FDA regulated, however, there are some certifications that hold a lot of weight as far as the quality of supplements: USP, NSF, and CL. I joined Consumer Labs (CL) and it has been worth every penny with all the in-depth testing and reporting on various supplements. I currently use Thorne, Pure Encapsulations, and Citracal Petites based on their recommendations.

thank you!

@doreenc just a reminder - soy milk calcium isn't a food with naturally occurring calcium. It's a highly processed food with supplemental calcium added. Same for all those nut, bean, grain "milks". Count those as supplemental calcium not calcium from food.
Good point about help in determining which supplement makers to chose.
