Yes, I take potassium and magnesium...........a gummy version since it is halfway dissolved.
I live in Oregon, so Vitamin D is important.............we don't get sun like california.

The big indicator for the osteoclasts and osteoblast levels is the PTH in your blood........this controls the cycle (parathroid). The test has to be evaluated fairly quickly and it is more expensive so regular docs might pass on this. But it was my "self pay" blood test that found out my calcium/pth was off kilter.

Immediately after the Norman clinic removed my "one" bad parathroid (at the norman clinic) my bone loss went back up to osteopenia level. Whereas before, it was going down for 3 years - docs never checked this one tiny gland that controls the calcium distribution/metabolism.....

Walk in lab (on line) has lots of tests.............varied cost and self pay. They use exactly the "same labs as hospitals" use. In oregon we have lab corp and quest. These days, it seems one has to take care of themselves - behind the curtain is usually the cash cow for the docs and medical facilities...........

Also - bla bla. I take thyroid meds (only 50 mg) but the direct to consumer program with ABBVIE saved me tons of money. No docs recommended this either...............
