Calcium Vitamin D: Bisphosphonates are good for bone health, but you must have the building blocks . These are calcium and vitamin d. Any of the otc combinations will help. However, getting these in your food and diet is better. Eat calcium rich foods and take a vitamin d supplements broccoli is a great source as is spinach and other leafy green vegetables that are not cooked.
