Im 73, female, and drop ever so slightly on each Dexa Scan done every other yr. . Am currently taking Bone Strength by New Chapter, a plant based source of calcium, 770mg. Is this enough? Other product suggestions? Thanks.

Re: Best calcium supplement for osteopenia
No, it is probably not enough. My doctor has me on 1500 mgs of Calcium Carbonate along with 1000 ius of D3.... I also have osteopenia.
Check with your GP...

Re: Best calcium supplement for osteopenia
May I ask if you are on HRT? My rheumatologist swears that the improvement in my scans from -1.6 to -1 is due to HRT.
