Treating Osteoporosis: What works for you?

It was a typo. The Alive! Bone Support daily dose of 4 tablets 1300 gm of calcium (100% of DV) from red algae, 100 mcg of vitamin D3 (500% of DV). And 150 mcg of vitamin K2. I'm fairly conservative about vitamins and am sure there are supplements that have larger amounts of these items but as long as my blood work shows decent levels of calcium and D, I try to rely on diet for the basics we need.

So 25mcg is equal to 1,000 IU. I take 3,000 IU but only because Tymlos "eats up" D3. I raised my D levels years ago by taking 3,000 but then did maintenance with 2,000 IU, which would be 50mcg.

McCormick told me to take 45 mcg of K2 (MK-7). But here is Margaret Martin's take:

Vitamin K2 MK7 dosage recommendation is 150 to 180 µg per day. This is based on the dosage used in most recent research studies.
Recommended daily dosage for Vitamin K2 MK4 is 45 mg in Asia and Japan. Other jurisdictions do not provide guidance.

I am a little nervous about overdoing K2 but need to take MK4 as well.
