It’s quite ironic when Drs don’t tell you! You need to be your best advocate! Do your research.. organic health stores are the best resource

Doctors generally have no idea. Only aware of the drugs available and the first one to be offered is always alendronic acid. Also they are aware to provide a script for calcium and vitamin D combined. I had to see the doctor to only be prescribed vitamin D and show him a list of my daily intake of calcium. A female doctor may be more aware as she may be much more interested in osteoporosis as she could get this.
