Is there a supplement that really works?

Welcome @debbik you have come to the right place for support. I was very surprised 6 months ago when I boot my dexa scan that my bone density had improved. In 2019 my doctor wanted me to have infusion drugs, then the pandemic came which meant less chair availability and I was rightfully squeezed out to make room for chemo patients. I had only two and my bone density did not improve, then I changed my habits and supplements. I now take natural bounty calcium with D 1200, every other day and one natural bounty D3 a week. These are both a gelcap.
I also walk almost every day, because the bone Doctor from Mayo that saw my husband told us that was the best thing to build bone. The physical impact signals your body to build bone. I was surprised that my done density had actually gone up. Yippee.
Do you have a doctor you can discuss this with? Are you able to get out and walk a bit?

Thank you so much for writing and sharing your information. I do have a Dr. she pretty much told me to take calcium and D, do strength training exercises and eat healthy. After several years of doing this, I thought I was doing a good job, had the not so good results. So now I’m really reading and doing everything I can. I do walk a few times a week. Noted much in cold weather, and recently asked about a weighted vest which I will be purchasing soon. I’m also reading so much about food and finding there are foods that actually block calcium absorption… one being spinach which I have been eating a lot of. It’s so encouraging to hear you are having good results. I will look into your calcium supplements for sure! Thank you!
