A member asked:
Is osteopenia reversible?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Likely, more so for osteopenia than osteoporosis. Weight bearing exercises, making sure vitamin d and calcium intake is maximized. Vitamin k2 is also good and under appreciated in the medical community.

Potentially: If you have osteopenia at age 35 need to consider secondary causes of osteopenia. Should supplement vit d and calcium. Regular wt bearing exercise.
