I have not done any research but but am sure it is possible to find a
vibration plate with similar frequency range, amplitude, as the
more expensive model.

If your goal in buying a vibration plate is to increase
bone density. -
there is a video with Dr Belinda Beck - her study shows no bone density
gain with Marodyne.
However, your choice to buy a vibration plate might be other than bone density,
such as muscle relaxation or other reason.

I am also putting off osteoporis medication. I may or may not ever take them.
The past year I have watched my diet and done exercizes with my physiotherapist.
He is now recommending I go to the gym, and has set me up with exercizes
- in addition to what I do at home -
with careful monitoring from on-site gym trainers.

My gains in a year are as follows: spine 5.6% and hips 6.4%

@psanchez33617 can you share with me which brand and amount of Fortibone
you are taking.
The two brands that are on my possible list so far: claims to contain type 1 Fortibone,
no added vitamins, herbs or other supplement.
I would track how effective it is, by making no other dietary change.
The only other lifestyle change would be upping my exercize program.

Am interested in learning more and eventually taking K2 M7:
Sources seem to be - Natto consumption - or supplements that contain natto -
your own gut microbiome -
certain foods with M7 (aged cheeses, and more)
Margaret Martin has articles on it.
Consumer Lab writes up about it.
One large favorable study done in 2022: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9237441/#s8
at bottom of study:
this work was funded by Synergia Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India.
In addition - some researchers mentioned are
" employees of Viridis Biopharma Pvt. Ltd., Mumbai, India."
and others are employees of Synergia Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd.,

Studies on supplements and vitamins to a large part are funded by
vested interested pharmaceutical companies.
It is so difficult to get an unbiased opinion.
The motivation is pure profits,
Results, shown us, can be skewed.
It is so disappointing and frustrating, to figure out what to do,
what to take.
Even having a dietitian would not help much, as they would answer,
as they have to me, inconclusive.

So, fellow seekers, factual and appropriate information for
each one of us is a rocky road.

I'd like to mention an interview I saw with Dr. Avorn about a
book he's just published: called Rethinking Medications.
In the interview, he mentioned how practically all studies are
funded by pharmaceuticals, and that the FDA is badly funded
and is not doing its job of reviewing studies, but
accepts whatever the studies summarizes.
I am looking to read this book from my local library.
