I alternate between Solaray calcium citrate and VegLife Red Marine Calcium as supplements to food. I eat organic "pasture raised" greek yogurt, greens, goat cheese to get calcium from food. I am in the process of researching bioidentical HRT/estrogen and strontium citrate as alernatives to prescription meds.
I have another appointment with my local osteoporosis specialist next month, and if she insists on prescribing an osteo drug without considering alernatives, I likely will get a second opinion and possibly travel to Central Carolina Orthopedic Associates in Sanford, NC and try to get an Ecolight REMS scan and consult with Dr. Bush.
