The plant based calcium actually helps.to increase bone density, chalk based.stops progression of bone loss. Calcium carbonate is superior to calcium citrate in absorption rates. So plant based supplements are calcium carbonate.
Doc did say to find plant based supplement will work best. She wasn't pushing a single brand. The only time I have seen products sold in doctor's offices is dentists and dermatologists. I don't think kick backs is an issue.
I will keep shopping there are other options available. Thanks all.
I suppose it all depends on an individual’s situation.
cw,
Hahaha, doctor kickbacks. My dad actually suspected that. He had a doctor that put him on a bazillion vitamins and supplements. They were very expensive! My dad switched doctors.
Sometimes, I think about people who are involved in those MLM’s who are looking to make money. The only people who make money in those pyramid schemes are the ones at the top! Remember Herbalife? Is that still around? Or Amway? I never purchase anything from those kind of businesses.
And eating properly? Must be a joke! My favorite foods through life is most dairy! I should not have a home density issue based on that!
Is Dexa, the bone density scan? Yes, my doctor had me do one of those. How often do we need to do that?
I’m due for my mammogram. I don’t know how long we have to do those either.
I was always shocked that my mom never broke any bones. She took quite a few tumbles.
Her bone density test were always great! She did love milk. She drank it all of her life. She was just lucky to have good bones and not break anything.
I broke both bones in my arm in my 40’s, but it was from a really bad bicycle accident. I didn’t see a tree branch in the street and I wiped out.
My husband broke his arm at age 2! He was swinging and told his mom, “Off!” He jumped off and broke his arm. At least I waited until my 40’s to break my arm. LOL 😆
I haven’t taken many vitamins. Mom gave us multivitamins as kids. I think they were Flinstones or something like that.
I know what you mean about ‘eating properly’ not always helping. I think about people who have exercised and are well all of their lives and end up dying young.
Other people eat junk, smoke, drink, etc. and they are still doing well. Go figure.
I have horrible allergies too. They are miserable.
My autocorrect hates me! 😆
Should read ‘ate’ well all of their lives.

I eat mostly yogurt and must have strong bones from it. The only thing I've broken was my little toe. I'm not the most graceful person and seem to run into things or drop something on my feet 😁
I have never broken a bone either.
I like yogurt a lot too. I buy plain Greek yogurt and put it in smoothies or I make a parfait with fresh fruit and granola. I started using it in recipes instead of sour cream too.
