I would love to know your supplement routine. I am in the same place and just started Fosamax and not liking the side effects. I do all the right things but would love a natural approach rather than meds

My supplement routine;
Morning:
3 prunes
1 multi (w calcium) /Bayer 1x Day
2 curcumin (Thorne)
2 fish oil (Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega Extra)
1 calcium (Citracal Petites w D)
1 vitamin D (Thorne 1000 IU)
2 vitamin K/mk-7
(Life Extension Low Dose)

Afternoon:
3 prunes
3 magnesium glycinate (Pure
Encapsulations)

Evening
2-3 calcium (Citracal Petites w D)
1 vitamin K (inc. K1 & K2/mk-4
and K2/mk-7 (Thorne)
1 vitamin D (Thorne 1000 IU)

Total vitamin D: 4000 IU (including what's in the fish oil, multi, and Citracal).

I take 2 separate vitamin K dosages (and separate brands as well) in order to have a total of 180 mcg. of vitamin K/mk-7.

Over the years, I had consumed very little calcium and very little (complete) protein by adhering to a whole food/plant based diet 80-90% of the time. Now I eat around 50g of protein/daily (mostly complete protein) spread throughout the day, and eat yogurt for calcium and protein as well as other dairy. Protein is very inportant for bones as well.

Also check out the Facebook group "Osteoporosis Natural Remedies". It's so interesting to see other people's approaches to dealing with their osteoporosis in a variety of ways.
