Dear FLMary, AKA imallears,

Hope you find the following useful re: osteoporosis. Everybody knows about calcium and Vitamin D working synergistically for your bones. However, even many MDs are ignorant about the importance of magnesium, broad spectrum collagen and Vitamin K2.

I learned about that last a year or two ago. Truly amazed. Mena Q 7 K2 or MK7 K2 actually deposits calcium into your bones (including your teeth) rather than your arteries!

That collagen? You'd be amazed at how much collagen is in our bones. It can get depleted. Do NOT waste your money on collagen powders that fail to include Type II. You want to find a product that lists Type I, II, III, V and X. Those are the five collagens that benefit us--bones, skin, connective tissue. I am living proof of its efficacy! I've been severely injured and those joints are healed, pain free! Without surgery! Bear in mind, I'm going on 70 years old!

Oh, for joints, I can't fail to mention glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, MSM and hyaluronic acid. And, yes, I also take natural anti-inflammatory herbs and spices.

Wishing you the best and grateful for the info you shared!
