Hey JK, I am the same way! Keep us posted on how your consults go with the two endocrinologists! And, if possible, definitely get a referral to a nutritionist specifically for osteoporosis diet!!!! Warmest wishes, Sunnyflower @contentandwell @criss

Me too. It's like the glowing, sometimes outright suspect reports about OsteoStrong on threads that, when you click on the writer, you see the writer joined Mayo Connect the day before and never posted on any other subject related to ostepenia or osteoporosis, before or after.

I'm not saying that OsteoStrong isn't, or is, valuable but clearly it's using social media as undisclosed advertising. And likely using artificial intelligence to generate fake people to spew rave reviews since the syntax is oddly standardized.

From what I've been told by doctors, the basics for hoping to maintain bone are calcium, vitamin D and bpvitamin K2. There is ongoing research suggesting that K2 helps direct the other two for bone use and hopefully prevents arterial build-up. My excellent cardiologist says the scientific jury is still out on this and she takes the same trio and is watching our Agotsten (aka 'Calcium') scores.

I would add a good supplement of trace minerals, including the boron that @sunflower mentioned. Am researching the various strontiums but not certain about it. I know it changes a DEXA reading but don't know if it actually helps save, or renew, healthy bone. Studies on orthosilicic acid look interesting so I'm adding that to my trace minerals supplement program.
