I have commented about this elsewhere, but I am a 78 year old woman who had surgically-induced menopause at age 30 after a total hysterectomy. I took Premarin until about age 62 but despite this developed osteoporosis. Took 3 doses of Fosamax and developed iliotibial band syndrome, pain from my hip to knee. I stopped the Fosamax and started looking for other things to try. I came across AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Citrate. I began these and also started OsteoStrong about the same time, 15 months ago. My May 2024 DEXA T-scores before starting were lumbar spine -4.1, left femoral neck -2.9 and left total hip -2.6. I had a repeat DEXA September 2025. My T-scores had improved to -2.9 lumbar spine, -2.4 left femoral neck, and -2.0 left total hip. I plan to keep on this regimen!

Did you also have an exercise routine that you followed during this time?
