I took Fosamax for a few years for osteopenia. Then I went off it. A few years later when I was menopausal my bone density dropped. That's when I went on Prolia.

This is the kind of K-2 I use. My understanding is that the MK-7 form is better absorbed. I buy it either at Iherb or Amazon depending on who has the better deal.

I use this type of magnesium citrate, as that form is supposedly better absorbed:

Huge tablets but best value.

NOW foods has a good reputation for supplements. My internist likes them and they are quality assured. I always get them via mail order--easier and cheaper.

I hope talking with an endocrinologist will clarify the whole medication situation for you. I remember also feeling unsure about the whole thing at first. Took me three months to get a second opinion and do my research. Then I felt better about moving forward--I hope you do, too.

123mayo, thanks for the supplement info. I'll look into it.

One other question. How did your doctor determine when you should stop Prolia?
