Very interesting stuff I have Osteoporosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis and I decided not to take medicine because of the side effects and possible health issues they can create for many
I NEED to find a way to up my bone density and chair yoga and swimming in a warm pool can do it and yes vitamin D3 needs Vitamin K with it to process in your body correctly I've read so D3 alone is not enough
What about yogurt and kefir can that help in small doses like 4oz daily for those who can take in dairy and Kale has a lot of vitamin K as well and eggs D3
Walking in nature like going to the Botanical Gardens I have a membership and I've gone like 4 times already this Spring and the Zoo we love the Zoo's we go on road trips and I've been to like 30 different ones in the US there always something different to see
How about walking in the Forest Preserves or Prairies if you can even just walking around the block for 20min with some low hand weights listening to the sounds of nature ALL around you will up lift your spirits and build your bones up too..🌈

@lovelyday I post here because I was feeling strong and then suffered horrible fractures from one unwise movement. I felt invulnerable because osteoporosis has no symptoms.
If your scores aren't too bad, a more holistic approach can work for awhile. I was not able to get on meds for years, despite trying. Just want you to know that I have found Tymlos to be very tolerable. I started at a low dose and ramped up, and have never taken the full dose. The pen has 8 "clicks" and I do 6 or7. I have gained 20% in my spine. Just something to keep under your hat. Even if it had side effects, they would be a whole lot better than the pain and disability I have from fractures.
