Sue - Thank you for your additional research! Yes, I have Osteoporosis (age 67), and continue to look at anything that might help “hold the line”.
I used Forteo for two years and had 12% increase in spine and 5% in hips. Then followed with a Reclast infusion. My Dexa results this year showed some additional slight improvement in Lumbar Spine (now -1.9, improved from -3 in 2019), but the Femoral Neck is stuck at -2.6. Not sure if I’ll do Reclast again this year, or try something else.

There's evidence that 60 grams of prunes a day helps to maintain bone density, and 100 grams increases it. A study showed that Jarlsberg cheese which contains a variety of K vitamins, helps to maintain bone density.
My Dexa results improved from osteoporosis to osteopenia without medication. However, I'm concerned that my lumbar spine needs to improve, so I'm drinking alkaline water.
Studies about the two foods and water would be listed on Google Scholar.

The improvements you've achieved look promising if not (yet) all that you'd like to see. I'm with you in wanting to throw anything else at maintaining bones but the drug-induced reversal gives you a better platform to build at least
