Hi Members, I am new to the group.Recently found out I have osteoporosis,
age 52 female, menopause at age 40 .

I was prescribed actonel and calci chew but am trying to find homeopathic
alternatives as I don't like the sound of either one.
Is anyone out there taking a calcium+D3 supplement that does not have
aspartame in it or other sugar substitutes? I had started taking the calci
chew but the flyer mentions aspartame as ingredient.

Thanks, Pam

I take Inno-Vite, which is calcium, phosphorus,Vit D3 and Zinc in a
base of Sunflower oil, eviening primrose oil and canola oil. Has no
yeast, sugar, starch, wheat,corn, milk, eggs, colours, flavours or
preservatives.

My grocery store carries it in the pharmacy area.

Suggest that you carefully monitor yourself with a Dexa-Scan within 6-12
months after you try something homeopathic to see if it's stable or
getting better or worse. You don't want to end up with a fracture in a
place like a vertebra or a hip ... they are hell to fix.

Thank you for your answers. I will be taking a bone protect mix with D3, K1,
C, calcium citrate, magnesium, copper, mangenese, selenium, zink and
borium -
plus an extra D3 supplement, silica, a soy supplement and urticalcin (from
stinging nettles, which is meant to help proper uptake of calcium) all
prescribed by homeopathic practitioners. Will get a new Dexa scan in Sept or
October next year. Also see a physical therapist in a gym-like setting for
exercises set up for my osteoporosis and also use power plate w/therapist.
Walking every day, hand weights.

Thanks and good luck to all of us!

High dose vitamins, minerals, nutrients, and herbs are not
homeopathy the way I understand it. Perhaps the word takes
in naturopathy practice were you are in popular usage?

The use of vitamin K and D in liberal dose is likely a good idea
as most people suffer either deficiency or insufficiency much
of the time.

I suggest you add rutin to your nutrient regimen.

Inflammation tends to speed bone breakdown.

More fruit and vegetables to keep the potassium level
up is also good in this context.

I am of the opinion hormones should have a place in the
treatment of osteo but currently they are in disfavor
due to the flawed hormone regimens marketed to and used
by the mainstream Doctors.

Don't reject the conventional meds, if you need them.
You can use them and take the nutrients as well.
