You maybe need some proper advice on what to take.A neighbour of mine recommended Viridian Calcium/magnesium and zinc powder (she has osteoporosis but is not on HRT). I like Viridian supplements and emailed them for advice. They have excellent customer service. They recommended, for my situation, their calcium/magnesium/boron powder (and vit D) and mentioned vitamin K, but she did say not to take a vitamin K supplement without checking with my meno specialist first as there could be an interaction with my HRT. She told me the amount of vitamin K in my multi-vitamin is fine (it's just higher doses that might be an issue). I've decided just to eat more prunes . I know that sounds crazy but apparently they are good for bones and contain vitamin k. At the moment I'm consciously working out how much calcium I eat a day (both from the supplements and my diet - I don't want too much or too little), I'm making sure I take vit D, and I also take magnesium anyway as it's been helpful for a lot of things.If you're going to take supplements I think I would try and get some proper advice from someone who knows what they're talking about. I'm not an expert. In fact I'm in the early stages of trying to work this all out for myself.

Hi NoheroicspleaseSo sorry to hear that. I can't really advise as I'm new to all this. Any information I do get I'll be happy to share, As we were saying earlier it costs a fortune seeing all these different experts. It'd be great to have all the correct advice"on tap" x
