Improve bone density and strength without medication?

When researching supplements for bone maintenance I found info on Berberine, which apparently works to layer in the new bone being formed. I don't know if it really helps but it is something I had not heard of before. Selenium is also recommended in some online forums, though it seems to be more associated with immune system and endocrine system function.
Trace minerals and micronutrients are probably best taken in the correct foods but I guess it does not hurt to find reputable supplements.

I started taking Berberine; my M.D. said that was a good thing to take for osteoporosis. National Library of Medicine article stated: "Berberine has a long history of medicinal use to treat various diseases including bone disease in China. Recent studies have defined its function in promoting bone regeneration and great potential in developing new drugs. But the systemic mechanism of berberine on bone regeneration still needs more research to clarify."
Another article stated: "Berberine... Another supplement that is known to improve symptoms of osteoporosis is berberine; research suggests that berberine may lower osteoclast activity and boost osteoblast activity."

I’ll check the Berberine out. I do know selenium
Helps muscles but it can be toxic if you take to much.
Thanks for info
