Walked 2 Mile Hilly walk since mid 30's Yoga last 12 years in addition. Organic whole foods die for decades and decades of various kinds. Was dairy free last 13 years. Exercised daily but probably more sedentary than most due to chronic illness issues. Took vitamin D and tested levels via ND past decade. Ladies get your bones density test at 50. Don't wait until age 61 and well after menopause when it is very difficult to build bone. The fact they are not testing osteoporosis until age 65 is a travesty in women's health!

It is usually the lack of vitamin d, without vitamin d your body won't be able to use the calcium you intake. There aren't many food sources that have vitamin d (canned salmon with bones and egg yolks), so a person either needs to get their 15 minutes of sun exposure or supplement with vitamin d.

[@andreah6379]

A word of advice from a 67yo with Osteopenia. It's not a good idea to down a lot of Calcium like you're doing! It can build up in your arteries and give you heart problems or a stroke. You need to get the calcium through the food you eat. That's the safest way. There's different kinds of calcium. Calcium Carbonate is common & difficult to digest and absorb. Calcium Citrate is better but, again you need the proper foods--not heavy dose pills. Vitamin D, a fat soluble vitamin builds up in your body & too much can be a problem. You don't say how much you take. 2000IU/day should be enough. More than that a day you may be playing with fire. As far as exercise to ward off bone loss disease, you need weight-bearing exercise like walking up a hill, jogging, weight lifting. There are lots of exercises that don't build bone. Do some research. Lots of us as we get older are suffering from fractures, pain, and severe side effects in case you think taking osteoporosis drugs are helpful. They are a nightmare!! Take better care of yourself now. It pays off later. Believe me.

Vitamins D is so confusing. I used to take only 1000 a day but was told to take 5000 a day due to no exposure to sun. But if it’s bad for the bones that’s a problem right ? I don’t want to take too much and make my bones worse in the long run. Thank you so much !

[@heidijacobsen115]

I also struggle with D absorption in our long winters. I now take D to help with that.

My Endocrinologist has me on 4000 IU! Do u think there's an underlying issue that hasn't been diagnosed? I had thyroid cancer and had removal of thyroid in 2014

My doctor prescribed me 600,000 iu once a WEEK ft Osteoprosis (of spine _3.5 bmd)..having osteopenia too.plz reply if it is right thing

[@tlanc1283]

My physican placed me on 50,000 IUs of Vitamin D once a week for 8 weeks after a bone density test. I have been low on Vitamin D for several years. However, here it is said that too much Vitamin D is harmful. Also, if I am out in the sun for 15 minutes a day, why am I still deficient in Vitamin D; is location on hemisphere also a factor? Good information here at any rate.

[@climateanxiety2825]

I had the same issue. My D was almost nonexistent. I had other symptoms and a really good doctor caught it (after decades of them missing it) and it turns out that I have Celiac Disease. And no, I was not on the Fad band wagon. It came as a complete shock. You can be on a huge dose like your doctor gave you for a short time, but you should be on a lower daily dose after that at around 1000IUs. What he said is that too much D can make your bones brittle. I will have to check out the research on that one.

I want to know when I was 40 years old I was doing lot of cycling then after my knee bones started paining so badly, now I have same problem now I am 50 years old, I am doing 3000 skipping and other workouts till 4 hours but my pain is not going, Is it a bone loss?

[@magpiegirl3783]

Skipping should be a great exercise for bone remodelling. If you are doing weight training, that could be good too depending on how you are doing it. Would suggest getting to the doctor … bone loss is definitely happening just because of your age, but the pain could be arthritis or other problem. Doctor should help with the diagnosis. However, you might also be overdoing the exercise. Would suggest a qualified physical therapist to monitor your exercise program once you’ve seen a doctor to try to work out if there’s another problem.

[@kathymaclaren2711]

Our friendly neighborhood pharmacist seems to be a little bit behind the times. They are now recommending less calcium for women because that can drive heart attacks because the calcium does not get into the bone but stays in the blood. So for women they're now saying 500 mg a day in a capsule and then plus food of course. He also did not mention boron at all which surprised me. One of the things about K2 is that it does definitely help vitamin d get calcium into the bones but as he said you have to be careful depending on what drugs you're taking and what your personal genetics are.

[@janicecrose376]

Was thinking same thing. I was staying away from calcium supplements, but now my dr. told me to take 500mg a day. I take Boron daily also.

[@varelion]

I think he is sometimes way off. He really said that 15 minutes outside is worth 49 days of vitamin D. This can't be serious. And if you take a certain dosis of vitamin D, this doesn't mean that the same dosis ends up in your blood. The real level in your body is important.

[@bsmith9326]

WHAT... 15 mins of sunshine gives me 49 days of Vit D. That rocks! Thanks!

[@smokinokin66]

That's a blanket statement that does not ring true for everyone. Factors like where you live (Florida vs. say Chicago) - your weight, your skin tone, how your body absorbs Vitamin D, your age.....lots of factors to take into consideration - so check with your doctor! One person in my town can take 1000 daily, while another needs 2000 daily. Each person absorbs things differently. Get a blood test from your healthcare provider and check your D levels.

It's not about carbonation. In cola drinks where you find phosphorus carbonate is the problem.

Will eating a carnivore diet help me reverse my osteoporosis and get off Actonel?

[@JnTmarie]

No! Plants support bones. We’ve been fooled told if we drink the hormones meant for a baby calf it would nourish humans. It doesn’t. Quite the opposite. Watch Cowspiracy the movie. Cheers to your health. Check out dr Michael Gregor daily dozen his research website. nutritionfacts.org

I found out I have osteoporosis. My doctor prescribed Alendronate 70MG but it's making me nauseous. I don't want to take it anymore. I have been a bodybuilder for over 40 years so I have a lot of muscle tone. I'm 70 yrs old in good health. I don't take any medications. I live in Florida and ride my bicycle everyday for 5 miles so I assume I'm getting plenty of Vitamin D. What should I be taking to reverse osteoporosis? NO MORE MEDS FOR ME!!!

[@deec4484]

Make sure you are taking your Fosamax first thing in the morning, on an empty stamach, with a big glass of plain water. Do not lay down for at least 30 minutes, nor eat anything for at least 30 minutes! Good Luck!

[@carolgriffin1929]

Did take for 5 years (Alendronate), excersice get my own tranee. and my bone density again last September 2022. Doctor told me, have to get my rectant infusion. Dont know what to do. But I’m still takin my caltrate 600+D3.

I have really severe osteoporosis due to malnutrition after weight loss surgery , I’ve lost 5 inches off my height . I’m currently 6 months into a 2 year course of daily injections to promote regrowth , it is called Forsteo , I’m in the U.K. I hope it helps .

[@pamelaw8244]

I started tymlos. I have 8 more months. I didn't have weight loss surgery just sitting for 38 years. I researched calcium and one of the best for absorbtion is hydroapetite. Along with magnesium, zinc, vita k2 ,D3. Then walking, running, and weight training.

[@luyzqint3760]

Does it work?

[@PaulSchneider-bp2ic]

Perhaps your doctors are guilty of malpractice if they failed to advise you before your surgery, that chronic malnutrition might result from weight loss surgery. So, Prior to your weight loss surgery, did your doctors inform you that chronic malnutrition might result from weight loss surgery?

Is rebounding and pilates reformer exercising good for rebuilding bones?

[@magpiegirl3783]

Pilates reformer is brilliant …. IF you have sufficient resistance. Must have a pilates trainer specialising in osteoporosis. Rebounding is a good cardio exercise but not sufficient to stimulate bone remodelling. Swimming and walking are the same … good exercises but not sufficient for bone improvement in people with osteopenia or osteoporosis.

Also carbonated beverages are known to cause bone loss.
