@ripley I separate calcium and magnesium by two hours because they apparently compete with each other, or so I was told. I don't take any supplements that combine them. I know the idea has been to use them in a proper ratio and I don't know for sure what the best thing is to do, but to be on the safe side, I take them separately.

@tilou I have 7 spinal fractures. These have been painful, disabling and life-altering. Many of us lose bone no matter what we do holistically with supplements, exercise, anti-inflammatories and so on. I lost a lot of bone with cancer treatment. But even without that, I was losing bone despite my best efforts.

Tymlos took me from severe osteoporosis to borderline and then I did some Evenity and a couple of Reclast so far. Tymlos was a miracle drug for me. These pharmaceuticals do work for many of us. Yes there may be side effects but with Tymlos they are short-lived for most of us, and the effects of fractures are far worse.
