A member asked:
What can i do after a bone fracture to help prevent or reduce the chances of getting arthritis? are there any vitamins or supplements that can help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bone health: Please see your doctor. He/she MAY order a dexa scan to determine the level of your overall bone health. Do not take calcium by itself but ask doc or a natural doc about supplements that contain a blend of calcium, magnesium, and co-factors such as vit D & K which carry the minerals to the bone. If ok w/doc, just keep moving w/walking or gentle running. Peace and good health.
