Osteoporosis; of course the Doc says, weight bearing exercise but no, after several years cycling, walking and fitness club, I still lost bone density.... long story. I take Calcium and Vit. D. Further, I have received my first Prolia injection each once every 6-months. We'll see. Doc said the worse is suffering broken hip. Worse than cancer he said. Thanks for writing grandmabubblestwin.

Drop the calcium like a hot patato. Substitute 1000 mcg of K2. Keep taking the D3 at about 15,000 iu daily with zinc and vitamin A, you must also take 600 mg of magnesium citrate or better yet magnesium L- Threonate. Don’t take any supplement calcium, it leads to strokes and cancer. Eat dark greens instead. Do your own research, check this out!
Hi @jimma, welcome to Connect.
As the Community Guidelines state, we suggest rather than dictate what people should or shouldn't do.

It appears that you've done quite a bit of research. Do you have a diagnosis of osteoporosis yourself?

I broke my hip so 78 and I am walking without a cane. It’s not worse than cancer
