I didn't think anyone would respond... you guys are awesome!
I've been so worried I'm going to end up curled up in a wheelchair with all my bones fractured. I was diagnosed last fall by DEXA scan as having osteoporosis in the lower back and thigh bones and osteoponiea in the wrists. I'm 34, so it's a little early for this to be happening.
I do take 1,000 mg of calcium a day, (100% rda).
I never had my mineral levels checked...my doctors are truly retarded! :) They never check for what I ask for.
I don't take any minerals (?) but I am making bone broth right now. I know it's not an excuse.. i've made bone broth (tried!) 2x already and it turned out awful, but I'm making it again today!
