Alternative treatment instead of Prolia injections

Posted by malliecallie @malliecallie, Feb 27 9:50am

Recently diagnosed with Osteoporosis, doctor prescribed Prolia injections. Because of possible serious side effects, I do not want to take it. I am 79, active, working as office administrator, walking an hour (fast walking) 7 days a week. I want to remain active and feeling good.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Hi windyshores,

There isn't a separate 924mg of Calcium. The 77% is referring to the 1000mg which comes from the 4000mg Calcium Hydroxyapatite. The company (like Doctor's Best) uses 1300 as 100% RDA for calcium

@formisc then maybe I could take it!

The label certainly confused me 🙂

Also want to add that Bone Maximizer III looks like a good product. I have always avoided Calcium Carbonate and now take both Calcium Hydroxyapatite and Calcium Citrate. My only reservation on the product is that it uses Magnesium Oxide (proportion between Magnesium Oxide and Magnesium Aspartate not stated) which has low bioavailability instead of other forms like Magnesium Glysinate or Magnesium Malate
