you know rogerscott all these other remedies are important. And you could add vitamin K2. But 3% increase in bone density is a geater increase in prevention of fracture. I have the opinion that you won't get any % with the other important remedies. You need the steroids, so give yourself a chance with these great OP drugs that all these researchers have spent their lives making available so that you won't have to have a devastating fracture that could upend all your exercise ambitions. You'll still be able to take your vitamins, though.

All this without a medical degree and not even knowing your OP numbers might be a little much.
