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?

@JustinMcClanahan I am in progress. Just starting the journey. Thank you for the support and connecting the threads.

@JustinMcClanahan
I agree Mayo Clinic is a reliable source and this is a good overview.
But two things surprise me: there is no mention of needing to use Vit K preferably in forms of K7 and K 4.. along with Calcium and Vit D to help direct the calcium to bone
And thr information about using HRT seems to be still from the Women’s Health Initiatuve that all my current reading seems to be reversed because the study was flawed. Most are now saying HRT does not cause cancer or heart attacks.
