Great information, everything I had to figure out on my own over 20 years reversing my osteoporosis. I gave up on endocrinologist pill doctors who knew nothing about the cause and treatment off my osteoporosis. They prescribed pills with very serious side effects that did not increase my bone density over 5 years before I realized I would have to figure out the cause and treatment myself.
Ive just had my Vitamin D3 level tested. Its high,97.2. Im backing off a bit now. The doctor didn't question it!!! Just don't go above 150 reading. I like to be 80. Is that ok Dr Susan. Not taken any now for 3 weeks. Thank you for all your brilliant information. So grateful ❤
How about vitamin K2 ? It helps tremendously in calcium absorptions. Without K2 calcium will just be in your blood stream and not being absorbed into the bones.
Thanks for tuning in. We usually recommend 180-200 mcg's of Mk-7 a day. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Access Dr. Brown's 40+ years of wisdom with her transformational online courses! 🧠Learn how to put together your natural bone health program at home with topics ranging from the best diet, exercise, and nutrients to use. shop.betterbones.com/pages/courses

Im from the Philippines having osteoarthritis now am 63 y o, having a maintenance Glucosamine Chondroitin..how much the dosage f i take vit D..thanks a lot Dra. Brown.
At end of Dec 2021 I developed pain in the ball of my foot. I was walking about 1 hr a day on a paved path with good supportive athletic shoes. I inserted Superfeet insoles and an additional Dr Sholl's insole into L foot just below the ball of foot with the understanding I was offloading the weight on the ball of the foot when standing/walking. Pain in ball of foot went away for 2 weeks. THEN, I was out walking and there was a Severe pain in the Top of my foot. Did no exercising for 1 week and pain didn't go away. 1/31/22 went to podiatrist and her xrays show a broken 3rd metatarsal. I'm now in a boot allowing bone to heal... Shocked this happened from walking! I am not taking any drugs, don't smoke & eat healthy... How much K do I need? Thanks I already take Vit D.
Hi i am from india i am 35 years old i have -3.4 osteoporosis in spine. And grade2 anterolisthesis. Pls tell what can i do? I am very thanksful to you.
Hi, I am taking 3000 units/day ,, I am diagnosed with Osteoporosis, Has been taking Prolia subscribed , for the last 3 years. I am 78 years, petite, still active, with exercises & cycling, hiking etc. My last blood work on my vit. D level is sufficient . I am taking calcium , also magnesium. Am I taking too much Vit. D ? 🙏
Hello Veronika, 3000IU of Vitamin D should not be too much considering the body uses 4000 units per day. To be sure I would test you vitamin D levels in the Spring and Fall bit.ly/3LxjMOA
Every time I go to buy magnesium, there are so many types of magnesium to choose from (citrate, glycinate, etc.) and I don't know which to get, so I don't get any... still lacking magnesium. 😞

Thank you so much for subscribing and for your question. We here at the Center for Better Bones recommend 20 Key Bone Building Nutrients ecs.page.link/6RPvY for bone building.
Vitamin d3 has a 25 day half life according to a dr on YT. He said if you are low and take 4000iu a day, it can take 3 to 5 months to normalize. However if you take 200,000iu in a week, you can hit normal levels in a few weeks.
I had a knee replacement and then found out my back and knee were going too. I am going to have another knee surgery. I am scared that the replacements aren't going to hold. I read where the meds the Dr. Gives you take your jaw bone. I refuse to take it. I need help the Dr.said I would need hip surgery next. I am 54 years old.
Melinda, it's wise to start building a lifestyle that will support your replacements and give them longevity. An alkaline diet helps build bone in conjunction with strength training and proper supplementation. Good luck on your journey!
Dr. Susan how can I elevate Estrogen naturally as you know it is important for bone, if it’s not possible to elevate naturally what medication would you recommend. Thanks
HI Kay! This is common that Dr's wont prescribe or insurance wont pay😩 Luckily there are companies now in which you can obtain these test through low cost self testing methods. We link to some options at the bottom of this blog: ecs.page.link/YUadt
As Dr. Brown explains, your need for vitamin D will depend on many things such as the season of the year and how much sunlight is available. The best way to asses your requirements for a vitamin D supplement is to test your blood level and try to obtain a 50 to 60 ng/mL level. Read Dr. Brown's blog on this subject. bit.ly/33zZIXp

I’m 67, my bones are great, (I just had a Dexa Scan), but my D level is like 26 and I take 2,000 a day but don’t seem to absorb it. Is it safe to just jump in and begin taking K2 or should I check w my physician first? Just trying to my D up. I do live in Dark Oregon, but was raised in Sunny Lis Angeles. What about a sun lamp? Thanks so much.
