Osteopenia Supplements that work?

Something interesting I heard about using Xgeva for bone strengthening. It’s only used for a certain amount of time and apparently using Zometa once after the Xgeva Infusions end can lock in the benefit that Xgeva Provides.

This was discussed in a weekly ancan.org Advanced prostate cancer meeting. Len, who is one of the moderators/leaders is the one who brought up the subject. He took advantage of this “feature”.

Thanks, Jeff. I will ask the Indianapolis medical oncologist about this when we see him next month. He is the one overseeing the Xgeva injections.

Xgeva, another brand name for denosumab (other brand name Prolia) is thought to control bone metastasis better than the bisphosphonates like zometa.
