What supplements help Osteopenia, Osteoporosis?

Have your DEXA's stayed the same during the 3. years on Fosamax? If you won't gain bone density, what is the benefit to taking Fosamax? Did they say why you won't gain density? My Dr explained that because old bone isn't sloughed off while on Fosamax, that is what shows the gains in bone density on DEXA.

My scores have not improved over the 3 years. I see no benefit of staying the course especially if there’s options that appear to build it. I haven’t had a break yet. But, am concerned as I am certainly at risk for this
Not sure I understand the sloughed off that your Dr is talking about
