Let’s talk about osteoporosis and osteopenia. There is no way you can build up your bone with just calcium. If you try, you could end up with calcification of your arteries.
Osteoporosis is a loss of bone density and bone mass. This increases your risk of fractures. Osteopenia is the stage that occurs just before osteoporosis.
It’s been found that people with osteoporosis have a much higher degree of calcification in the arteries and joints. This means a person has excess calcium, but it’s not going to the right places in the body.
When dealing with osteoporosis and osteopenia, we can’t just look at a loss of calcium. We also need to consider vitamin K2 deficiency and vitamin D3 deficiency.
Vitamin D3 supports calcium absorption, and vitamin K2 helps drive calcium into the bones. If you take vitamin K2 as a supplement, it may be best to take the natural form called MK7. Vitamin A (retinol) is another important vitamin to support healthy bones.
These essential vitamins for osteoporosis are all fat-soluble, which means supporting your gallbladder and liver is crucial. Bile salts can help support the absorption of fat-soluble nutrients if you have a gallbladder or liver problem. It’s also essential to have strong acid in the stomach to absorb minerals and trace minerals.
I would still take some form of calcium if I had osteoporosis. But I would also take these other nutrients. I would also avoid calcium carbonate, which is less bioavailable than other forms. Try to get your calcium and other nutrients from food.
Other important minerals and trace minerals for strong bones:
• Magnesium
• Potassium
• Zinc
• Copper
• Boron
Be sure you’re also consuming high-quality sources of protein and are exercising consistently to help with osteoporosis and osteopenia.

What calcium you recommend I was taking BONE UP BY JARRO that was giving me cramps in legs I stop taking it maybe was not balance for my body im looking for an other one thanks
What if you have a n history of kidney stones, and were told to avoid vit.d. Now have Osteopenia. What do I do?
Thank you for making this video. I was diagnosed last year. My MD gave me no instructions but to take a calcium supplement. It was not enough. I have had to improve my diet and exercise. I will be following your recommendations. Thanks again. Be ever blessed.
49 percent of bone is protein.
isn't the K2 helps the D3 to go in the bones and not the opposite?
Is clarified butter as useful as plain butter, I wonder?
Mk7 … is that indicted on bottle ?
A huge and safe confirmed bone builder is the aerobic steps. Gives you some aerobics and a light impact that triggers the bone rebuilding reflex. Zero need for jumping jacks or dead lifting. I am not saying those are bad, just that steps ALONE are excellent.
Namaste
DEXA or DXA scan can be performed and results assessed to understand if Osteopenia (T-score -1 to -2.5) or Osteoporosis (T-Score of -2.5 or less) has set in
Most patients are not even aware when Osteopenia sets in.
They must look for fatigue,weakness and knee pain as these are classic symptoms of this condition
Getting enough calcium and Vitamin D (Per RDA) and exercising is important for bone health
Thanks
Dr. My father has cirrosis and osteoporosis. If anyone has anything that can help please tell me something I can give him to help him.

Thank you Dr Berg – such valuable information
Dr Berg! Ty for all of your content! Well informed and science backed. Patients know more now about specific conditions than many docs. Could you consider doing a video on the truth about vibration machines and their impact ( if any ) on bones, osteopenia and osteoporosis ? Ty!
Thanks
I’m so confused. I’m a 70 year old female (who feels so very much younger) and I have been diagnosed with osteopenia. I am on a low statin and low blood pressure medicine. No other problems. I see so much even from your videos that I’m just not sure what or how much of anything to take! I just wish there could be a list of what women my age need. I know you need to explain it all but by the end I’m not sure what to do. References to other videos and other supplements. Help!
Thankyou so much for this information,I am learning so much and less stressed about the issues im facing.
