Undecided choice of drugs for Osteoporosis

Forgot to ask- any recommendations on calcium/d/magnesium supplements? Every time I settle on one I find criticism on the ratios, amounts etc. I just purchased New Chapter Bone strength (which is criticized for ratios of Magnesium to Calcium). I am also am strongly considering Algae Cal (which my doctor did not approve of but I think she may be misinformed). That too doesn't have the 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio that seems to be the recommended ratio. If a company that does nothing but manufacture bone supplements doesn't use that ratio, surely there's a rationale. I think I should dive into McCormick's book before asking any more questions. I have a feeling I will get a lot of them answered.

I am also looking into the best calcuim supplement to take and I have researched both your choices of Algae Cal and New Chapter. If you come up with a clear choice I would be interested in your decision. My doctors only want Reclast or Prolia which I’m not taking since I’m 80 and refuse to risk side effects at my age. My mom died at 96 in 2007 and we never even new if she had Osteoporosis, and she never took any drugs.

Just for information. I contacted Algae Cal and they replied with a very positive prospective. If you take their started kit they will reimburse you on your next DEXA score scan if you show no improvement. They guarantee positive and improved results. Calciven is another supplement that contains all the needed supplements into one pill. I’m still undecided on which drug but I did start Marine Collagen Peptides in capsule form. I’m 80 and don’t wish to put any foreign drugs into my system since as we all know may or may it have side effects.
