Is there a supplement that really works?

I recently had a bone scan and discovered I had reached the osteopenia/osteoporosis border.

A good friend who had osteoporosis improved drinking 2 cups of almond milk/day. That is in my plan, along with 3 specific exercises: jumping, squats with weight, and farmer carry (walking carrying heavy weights with each had - visualize buckets of water or feed 🙂 . I'm also cutting out cola beverages and any others that contain phosphoric acid, and using vibration 30 minutes 3 times a week against my very low back/pelvis area (look up "Osteoboost" for the science, but you could try a vibration plate and sit on it - or figure out some other method). ** In 6 months, I will ask my doc to order a scan again, and see what the results are. If I remember, I will post something.

What are your recent dexa scores?

I don't see what almond milk does, unless it was calcium-fortified, in which case it doesn't have to be almond milk. Personally, I prefer regular milk, since a fortified drink is no different than taking a calcium supplement.
