Can we gain bone density with just supplements?
I got diagnosed with osteoporosis 4 years ago, and I refused the medication because the side effects, I’m 60 years old and have been taking supplements and exercises regularly, after my dexa my doctor told me that my osteoporosis is getting worse and wants me to take TYMLOS, I’m horrified just to think about injecting this medication into my body every day, anyone on this medication?

@gravity3 Your son is right. The drugs make your bones thicker but it degrades the quality of your bones. Two different things.
This might have been meant for the woman with the son.,
@gmaliz I use ZOI ULTRA High Phenolic EVOO by Laciniko but it’s not in general stores. You can order online or buy from specialty olive stores. https://laconiko.com/products/zoi-ultra-high-phenolic-evoo-rich-in-oleocanthal
It is not cheap so I just use it to drink (1-2 tablespoons a day). For general use I use Tassos which I get at Costco Greek PDO when it’s available. You can get newly harvested at the beginning of the year. It’s supposed to be a very good high polyphenal EVOO but not nearly as high the ZOI but way better than what you generally get in the grocery store.
