&lt;p&gt;My belief is that you need to search for the root cause of osteoporosis by extensive blood tests to try and establish what&amp;#39;s low or missing , like magnesium or zinc for example and then start the treatment.Both products claim remarkable results which if true I would have expected more widespread support . Would be interested in hearing anyone that has had real experience including positive dexa scan results.&lt;/p&gt;
