Thank you!!! wonderful list.

Is that " minimal supplementation" he recommends or are those his recommendations for daily requirements? If that calcium recommendation is for supplementation, it is very high as that is the total that is currently recommended of a combination of food and supplements with no more than 2000 mg a day max (and I'm reading more and more that the 1000-1200mg/daily combined is even high). Perhaps those were his total daily combined recommendations of nutrients obtained through food and supps?

Hello, I am new to the Mayo Connect Clinic and wish to express my deep appreciation to all of you for sharing your experiences, which I have been reading voraciously . Your information and wealth of personal experience is invaluably helpful to me. I was diagnosed with mild osteoporosis 3 years ago. Unfortunately, my doctor never explained how serious this was, reassuring me this was a very slow progressing condition not requiring another DEXA for 3 more years! I was devastated to learn last month that my T score has increased to -3.5 from -2.8. This was devastating shocking news I'm still reeling from. I had been taking a good bone supplement -- AOR Bone Basics -- for 3 year with a full range of minerals which evidently didn't stop the BMD loss. More medication is horrifying to me after a year of high dose Prednisone and another immunosuppressant, which I have no doubt were the greatest contributors to this. I have been researching around the clock, following Keith McCormick -- ordered both his books -- and just watched the 5 day OsteoBoston Summit. I am on wait list for local endocrinologist and consulted an integrative medicine physician I will continue to see. Thank you again to everyone. Your stories are read by many and really make a difference.

@kirstenlheld Did he specify what kind of K2, MK-4 or MK-7?
