63 yr old female with vit d levels at 14. osteoporosis since age 45. told to take 400 iu daily. dont/cant take magnesium/calcium. is this enough?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Controversial: Vit D at 16 probably not significant. Talk to your Dr. about meds for osteoporosis Best source of calcium is DIET. OTC Vit D3 1000 u is a common daily supplement. INQUIRE about bisphosphonates and SERMS. Get a lot of exercise.
