Weight lifting - bone scans improved in one year!

Hi, just getting started on this journey. I am taking once a month Boniva and daily calcium, plus strength training. Thinking about adding some of the vitamins mentioned as well as have read about.
Question- Do you take the calcium, K2 and vitamin D all together and daily?

@inanina I have very early atherosclerosis, another issue that started after menopause despite a healthy lifestyle. I used to take calcium, but because scans found a plaque in my carotid artery during my last physical, I don't take calcium supplements anymore, and instead, I get my calcium through diet and take K2 and Vitamin D through supplements. Here are a couple of references.

@inanina There are several discussions about supplements/vitamins with really good information. You might want to have a look at this one:
