Supplements for bone health: What is safe?

Rose, with what kind of situation are you dealing? Tscores? Fractures? Have you seen an endocrinologist who has ruled out other conditions or diseases. Without knowing these answers it is difficult to talk about natural supplements.
But...
Here is a short list of the usual suspects taken for bone health: Vit k2, calcium, magnesium, collagen, silicon, maybe boron etc.
Weight bearing exercise.
BHRT, bioidentical hormone therapy which is identical to your own bodies' hormones, chemically.
And then the supplement that straddles the line between drug and supplements, strontium citrate.
I am a strontium citrate user and a BHRT user. I have gone from osteoporosis to "normal" bone density and normal bone quality (TBS) , all without fractures or side effects.

@kathleen1314
What brand of strontium citrate do u take.
Are u concerned about blood clots
@kathleen1314 hi Kathleen, I have a friend who'd heard (she's a nurse) about calcium supplements causing build up in arteries. My NP has ordered 1,000 mg daily for me along with 1,000 iu's of D and I am on twice yearly Prolia. Any thoughts? That sounds a little out there to me... thank you!
@kathleen1314 Did your doctor mention any relation to breast cancer and BHRT? I’m avoiding this approach due to what hormone therapy did to my mother. Keep in mind that her treatments were in the late 70s - much different from today. However I’m still apprehensive.
