Alternatives to standard Osteoporosis drugs

@annie1. I’m unfamiliar with Calciven. Is it a supplement, not medication? It depends on one’s insurance plan but I know that my Traditional Medicare with my Medicare Supplement D (for medications) does not cover supplements.

May I ask your interest in Calciven? Do you know of any research studies comparing Calciven to standard medications?

It's not very expensive. I was just curious if people have had good luck with supplements in improving their bone density.

Would you post some links to the research on this product. Thanks

Calciven is just a supplement you buy. It's a simple mix of calcium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2. There is nothing special about it. Taking it is not going to reverse your osteoporosis all by itself. It might not even help you stay at your current level, since other factors play into osteoporosis. Every calcium supplement already includes D3, and many people have learned to add K2 to the mix. If all we had to do was to take a vitamin, nobody would have osteoporosis.

And, at $40/bottle for 30 pills, it's totally overpriced. Each pill has 120mg calcium, which is like a quarter cup of milk.
