@kayabbott Reclast does not come in pills. It is a bisphosphonate and there are several oral/pill forms of bisphosphonates, including alendronate (Fosamax). I am curious what effect your friend thinks or was told about the effects of B12 on bones.
It sounds like Reclast took you from osteoporosis to early to moderate osteopenia!

I didn't question my friend when she indicated her Reclast was a daily pill; perhaps she meant a different brand. Regardless, the pill is a bisphosphonate. My other friend with the osteoporosis was in his 30's, and was very low in B12; I'm not familiar with other treatment that he may have had. If you search on the link between B12 and osteoporosis, you can find a number of peer reviewed papers. Here is one: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4446754/
