gigi4, I wish you that you will succeed with all my heart and this will encourage many other patients with osteoporosis. Your opinion about meds agrees with mine. We have to try different roads.
I take more or less the same additives as you, but also collagen and magnesium. I eat dry prunes (7-8) every day as it was found that they help. In addition I use vibration platform. However, my next Dexa scan will be in 2 years and for this reason it is early to make judgments if this trategy can help.

Thank you for your comments. I take collagen and magnesium as well. I've looked at the vibration platform but I do a lot of weight bearing with tennis, going up and down stairs and using ankle weights for specific leg exercises.
Wishing you the best.

@teb and others: From online: "Vitamin K2 can be further divided into several different subtypes. The most important ones are MK-4 and MK-7."

For MK-7 45 mcg is recommended by McCormick but some sites say 100-200mcg. Still mcg.

"A daily dose of 500 to 1000 mcg of MK-4 is adequate and close to healthy ancestral consumption" on the same site and that agrees with what McCormick suggested for me.

I have no blood clotting or heart issues and am not on an anti-coagulant. I would be wary of the doses cited in some of these posts unless a provider tells me to. Apparently some of you have providers recommending those doses so you can feel comfortable.
