What supplements help Osteopenia, Osteoporosis?

I have been taking AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost for a couple of months now. I won’t be able to have a bone density test until October but I have experienced less aches and pains in my back. I had been on prednisone for 6 months due to Polymyalgia Rumatica and my bone density went down by 8%. That condition has also resolved during the time I’ve been taking AlgaeCal but, of course, I can’t say it’s a direct cause-and-effect.
I highly recommend the book Healthy Bones Healthy You by Pizzarno and Pizzarno. A lot of excellent research based information!

@elt Your bone density on a DEXA may look better than it really is because strontium is heavier than calcium and when it replaces calcium in the bones it affects the DEXA. That doesn't mean it isn't able to help, it just means you cannot tell how much! Maybe the radiologist can adjust for you.
