@cperlin the two anabolic "bone building" drugs, Forteo and Evenity, do not build brittle bones. They improve bone quality as well as density and even help with healing fractures. This is a common misconception.

Bisphosphonates and Prolila are anti-resorptives that may cause brittle bones but I have been told, after a few years. Evenity is both a bone-builder and an anti-resorptive.

I have taken all the supplements that you take, for many years, and still have 7 fractures.

This is excellent information for me. I have parathyroid-related bone loss, and I've been supplementing for years: Mg, D, K, & Ca (when my hyperparathyroidism wasn't active).

I need to start a medication, but was afraid of the biphosphonates because I've seen the lawsuits.

Thanks! 🙂
