Osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is the term for bone demineralization. The cause of osteoporosis - actually causes are varied. You should be tested, because for example vitamin d3 is essential for being able to absorb calcium. A simple blood test will determine if you are deficient in vit d3 and need supplements. You first need to learn what is the cause of the osteoporosis and then treat the cause.
