OsteoPhase is certainly recommended to support bone health and growth, usually at 2 capsules, 2 times per day with a t-score that low. You would have to take the supplement consistently for a year before a follow up bone density test to see if it helps improve your spine scores. Also note that 80% of your fracture risk comes from poor balance and falls, so keep up your exercise, especially leg strength.

I am dead set against taking any of these drugs. Do you think OsteoPhase will help me? I am currently taking GNC Multi-Vitamins for Women over 50. I exercise at least 3 times per week at the local YMCA. I am 61 years old and am very active and healthy ---aside from my T-scores above. Please advise.

As to your multi, we recommend a maximum of 600 mg. of calcium per day when you are also taking OsteoPhase. John Steinke, L.Ac. Dear Denyse,
