A member asked:
Does prolia mitigate bone loss and increase bone growth? when used with calcium and strontium?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It has benefit even if the calcium or strontium is not used. Studies have shown that calcium has little or no benefit as regards bone growth or preventing bone loss.
