Diet and exercise: It is difficult to get all calcium and vitamin d from diet alone. Calcium and vit d supplements are a must. Green leafy veg. Provide mg and other supplements. Regular aerobic and muscle building exercise will atleast reduse progress of osteoporosis. Avoid risk factors like smoking. I would advise treating osteoporosis aggressively, given the high risk of fracture which in turn results in high morbidity and mortality.

No: osteoporosis requires multifaceted approach of treatment. Will need lifestyle changes as well as pharmacological treatment. In most cases of osteoporosis, natural treatments with calcium and vitamin D supplementation by itself will not be sufficient to treat osteoporosis.

Yes t: Strontium is a natural treatment used widely in europe. In europe there is a patented form of strontium that is prescribed as a drug, in the U.S., strontium citrate has been used for over 50 years. We have used 3 capsules of 227mg taken together, on an empty stomach for over 5 years with excellent results. Consult a doctor knowledgeable in this area to be sure it is effective.
