I have read a few things about bone meal, but wondered about side-effects. You probably haven't taken it long enough yet, but I would be interested if you have experienced any. This sounds like any easy and "natural" way to add calcium which is so important for those of us with osteoporosis. Since I no longer take prescribed drugs for my osteoporosis, I want to do as much as I can through diet, exercise, etc. Thanks as always lioness for your continued and very much appreciated tips and advise.
