Supplements for bone health: What is safe?

I know this site is for sharing experiences but I also wonder if the mods review some of this. I would just like to remind people NOT to start a supplement without first talking to your doctor and your pharmacist. Some supplements can be contraindicated in people’s healthcare and medications. People have specific health conditions that certain supplements and doses can be contraindicated! Please get medical advice first.

Yes, my first email was regarding talking with ALL your doctors you must have missed that one.
As @ccps101 points out, it is always best to talk with your provider when considering any additions or changes to medications or supplements. Each supplement may have contraindications with particular medications that can create dangerous or unwanted side effects.
Mayo Clinic published an article that is helpful in determining what is natural vs. what is safe that can be a helpful guide in trying to determine how to move forward with supplements or changes in diet, medications:
"Natural vs. safe: Why the two aren't the same'

Always discuss with docs. They are for it.
