Thank you for sharing your experience, as well as your caution to other members about consulting with their providers before making any serious alterations to their medication or supplements regimen. Unfortunately, Osteoporosis is a diagnosis that has many pitfalls in regards to "snake oil" promises with not only supplements, but exercise programs that are often offered by individuals who lack appropriate medical training. It is a diagnosis that is both difficult to take and to manage. Osteoporosis medications are strong medications that do have some side effects for a small percentage of individuals who take them and because of that many people diagnosed with Osteoporosis are hesitant to take the strong medications.
Mayo Clinic has a great article that helps define 'natural vs. safe' that members may find helpful:
"Natural vs. safe: Why the two aren't the same"
- https://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/complementary-alternative-medicine/in-depth/natural-vs-safe-health-remedies/art-20587690.
There are some dietary and routine-based changes individuals can make to help with their osteoporosis diagnosis, but it is always encouraged to talk with your provider if you are considering any supplements or changes to your diet, exercise and medications.

@ccps101 Thank you so much for sharing your journey and information/experience. I also have autipoimune disorder and grateful for anabolic bone builder. Forteo worked well for me and now Teriperitide for a booster. May I ask you which anabolic medication you choose and what you will take for maintenance afterwards?
