Hello dublin18 and @parrotqueen, I am Sunnyflower. I am also very sorry to hear about what you are going through dublin18. I too have taken the advice of parrotqueen but won't have another DEXA scan for about 1.5 years. I also have been taking Boron for quite some time now but only 3mg., twice daily w/ food. I've read you can safely have up to 20mg / day so I need to increase my dose. @parrotqueen, I would like to know why the two different types of magnesium? My Naturopathic doctor recommended I take Magnesium Glycinate which I have been forever. Could you please expound just a bit on why you also take the magnesium
L-threonate? Thanks so much! I've learned from you, others on the blog and my nutritionist, so much! One thing is that for vitamin D to do it's work helping us to absorb calcium, that it needs to have some fat w/ it. I didn't realize it but I wasn't eating any fat with that meal and very little in a day, not by intent, just didn't realize. So now I have 1/4 of an avacado w/ my yogurt, D and supplements. I've also added spinach to my diet as I wasn't eating any dark leafy greens. I have joined the Facebook group Osteoporosis Natural Remedies thanks to you parrotqueen. I am very grateful for all I've learned from you and others. Many blessings to both and all, Warmest wishes as well, Sunnyflower

I take magnesium L-threonate for better brain function. It's just 144 mg a day. Then I take 400 mg of magnesium glycinate. Yes vitamin D3 needs a bit of fat - I eat an entire avocado every night and take my vitamin D3, K2 (mk4, mk7), calcium, boron, magnesium, and just a small bit of potassium at that time. I take 6 mg of boron at every meal and before bed. I've been doing a ton of research and there are MANY people who take 120 mg of boron daily. I am not going to go that high, but I am not so concerned with going over 20 mg a day now. Anything over 20 mg has the side effect of maximizing the absorption of any estrogen. Isn't that Facebook group interesting, Sunnyflower? Sadly, I left the group because they tried to saddle me with the administrator role - they said there were several of us and there wouldn't be much to do. hahahaha, I was the only one and OMG the amount of work that was involved was mind blowing. I need to figure a way to get back into the group. I tried getting someone else to do the moderating, but nobody would respond to my pleas for help - so I just left the group. I could see no other way out.
