Post osteopure?

hello,

i was wondering if any of you have heard of osteopure?? i am only 23 and i have osteopenia. they say the product re-grows bone, which nothing else can do. i've been taking this product for a month now and have had very positive results...

i'm interested in getting more feedback though, please let me know if you've heard of it and what you know....thanks!

kristy

please let me know what gnc says...they told me that it is only being sold in tampa-area gnc's, so unless you are in the tampa area....i'm not sure they will know about it.

i called the 800# and they gave me a lot of valuable info....

let me know if you call and what you find out. thanks! take care.

as far as laboratory studies that could mean anything, was it 10 people or 10,000? It really doesn't give you the clear picture as to what kind of trials they did and what proof can they show to it's effect? Doesn't sound any different than os cal or the like except they are probably cheaper than osteopur. I'd be hesitant to try anything without seeing some real scientific back up to their claims.
