Asking for myself as an older adult with osteoporosis and an old fracture at T12. Taking calcium carbonate and calcium citrate, vitamin D3, and ? which type of vitamin K to take: Vitamin K2 (MK4) 100 mcg OR Vitamin K2 (MK7) 120 mcg. I was planning to switch to MK4 as preferred for better arterial health but then I read that MK4 doesn't last long in the body. At bedtime, I take a 400 mg tablet of magnesium glycinate lysinate. (Magnesium oxide disagrees with me.) I had one Reclast infusion and will need one more each year for the next two years. I was taking both Kettle Bell and kickboxing classes but am limited to PT for now, due to thoracic fracture. Certain bending and twisting movements are restricted but I DO HOPE I can return to BOTH Kettle Bells and kickboxing. To be determined. Am I on the right track with supplements for osteoporosis? Everyday, a new costly supplement (calcium with algae or with variants of Vitamin E) appears in my feed. Most recently it was "Eve's goat milk powder” to best utilize calcium?!?!? I want to take what is useful, not whatever is necessarily supported by influencers or others who might profit from my purchases. Last note: I try to eat some prunes with my calcium tablets to provide boron. I was told that's an easy means to take in boron to help the calcium support bone health. Any thoughts or feedback are most welcome.

In my experience, it's usually not that people don't know they should eat more. It's that there's a nagging belief in the back of their head that too much is somehow bad for them. So let's address it directly 👇 Which of these have you heard (or low-key believed)? 🔴 "High protein damages your kidneys" 🟡 "Too much protein turns to fat" 🟢 "You can only absorb 30g at a time" 🤷 I've heard all of these honestly For the record: in healthy individuals, none of these hold up. A meta-analysis of people eating up to 3.3g/kg — way above anything I recommend — found zero evidence of kidney damage. Zero. I break down this one and a few other persistent myths in my latest YouTube video. Post any questions in the comments.
