Hello @shocknot26,

I combined your discussion with another discussion, titled:

"Confused by doctor options to choose, including Keith McCormick"
- https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/newbie-confused-by-doctor-options-to-choose-including-keith-mccormick/

As @tillymack, mentioned there are many posts and discussions around this topic. This discussion is a long one but contains many members discussing supplements and their experiences and may be worth your time reading through.

You may find this article helpful as well:

"Osteoporosis treatment: Medications can help"
- https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/osteoporosis/in-depth/osteoporosis-treatment/art-20046869

This article from Mayo Clinic talks about supplements, diet and lifestyle changes that play a role in bone health. However, it does come down to an individual diagnosis and how severe one's osteoporosis is. There may come a point in your diagnosis where supplements and lifestyle changes are not enough on their own to treat your osteoporosis.

Have you had a chance to have this discussion with your provider to find a solution that incorporates all aspects of the osteoporosis diagnosis?
