Hi, this is my story

[GadgetBuster]

I broke my foot following a fall off a high kerb in August 2021 and should have been referred for a DEXA scan by the minor injuries unit who treated this, but wasn't until I asked my GP for one, following a tip off from a friend who knew that that is NHS guidance. Following the DEXA scan and recommendation from the radiologist, I was told by my GP that I had Osteoporosis (no comment about how badly, despite me asking!) and prescribed Alendronic Acid and Calcium +Vit D. I researched the condition and discovered that Vitamin K plays an important role in bone health as it is responsible for converting the bone protein osteocalcin from its inactive form to its active form. Osteocalcin is the major non-collagen protein found in our bones that anchors calcium into place within the bone. But not all types of Vitamin K are equally effective. Studies* have shown that Vitamin K2 MK-7 is the most effective. As a result I take this as a supplement as well. I also do bone strengthening exercises. I have no side effects from the medication I take.

GadgetBuster thanks for sharing your experience. I particulary appreciated this. I see that you have started taking your medicine and it was with about the same age I'm now. Did you have DEXA exam to compare the progress( before and after) medicine? Good week
