Best Supplement for Osteoporosis: Jarrow Formulas BoneUp - Micronutrient Formula for Bone Health - Dietary Supplement - Natural Sources of Vitamin D3, Vitamin K2 (as MK-7) & Calcium - 360 Capsules - 180 Servings (PACKAGING MAY VARY)

I reversed osteopenia

I've been taking Bone-Up by Jarrow Formulas for years. Several years ago I was diagnosed with osteopenia, the condition that preceeds Osteoporosis. So I started taking this every day religiously. At some point my osteopenia was reversed and now my bone density is within the normal range. I do a lot of weight bearing exercise which helps build bone, and along with this, I did something that I didn't think was possible which was to reverse my thinning bone loss. I also walk two miles a day most days. So it is possible to reverse bone loss if you are determined to do it and put in time exercising and taking Jarrow Bone-Up. I wont' stop taking this for life

Turned my Osteoporosis to Osteopenia in 2 Years

I am a 21 year breast cancer survivor aged 55. (Praise God for that!) I had surgery, chemo, radiation, and Tamoxifen before menopause, which apparently can weaken your bones. My parents both had osteopenia, and a sister, who is one year older, did as well. I thought I would be different because I had a very healthy diet, full of broccoli, spinach, and other vegetables, dairy products, proteins, and got regular strength training 3-5 days a week, paying attention to lifting heavier weight which would fatigue in 8-12 reps- and also jogged or did Zumba. I am a fitness instructor and I had been teaching 15 classes a week before all the Covid shutdowns. I also got sunlight exposure frequently because I love gardening and the outdoors. I am on the lighter side though at 113lbs which is another risk factor for bone loss. Two years ago at age 53, I had my first bone density scan though and discovered I had Osteoporosis. I was shocked. My one year older sister who had osteopenia didn't do ANY exercise, she drank Dr. Peppers all day-literally- and hated being outdoors so had little sun exposure for Vitamin D. She did not take any supplements. It was suggested I speak to my primary care doctor about taking a medicine to help, but I did some research and felt these type medicines are not all they are hyped to be, and actually have dangerous side effects such as osteonecrosis of the jaw, and may even make bones more brittle and dried up with extended use. It was dismaying to find out my diagnosis because I felt I was already doing all of the right things to preserve and protect my bones! Perhaps the cancer treatments, combined with hereditary tendencies, and a lighter body weight were the causes? After some reading, I added thisBone-up supplement which I took regularly 2 capsules breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the last two years. I had been using 2000iu Vitamin D3 during the winter, and also occasionally on cloudy days in summer previously, but I changed it to every day when I got the diagnosis of Osteoporosis. I feel the increased D3 and particularly this Bone-Up have made a difference!! I am so happy to see my scores have improved. I do keep an eye on my Vitamin D levels in my blood work, and it is within the normal range. I would recommend the books , "Your Bones: How You Can Prevent Osteoporosis and Have Strong Bones for Life―Naturally" by Lara Pizzorno, and "Dr. Lani's No-Nonsense Bone Health Guide: The Truth About Density Testing, Osteoporosis Drugs, and building bone quality at any age" by Lani Simpson. They are good resources to learn more and be better informed about all aspects of this issue, including understanding testing and nutritional aspects

My naturopathic doctor recommends this brand for Osteoporosis

My naturopathic doctor recommended this brand. Most bone density "western medications" make the bones worse and only the bond density tests might improve. Most diseases are caused by lack of nutrition to include Osteoporosis. Osteoporosis can also be caused from the parathyroid gland not functioning properly, something my previous HMO doctor(s) completed ignored. The side affects of the medications looks worse than having the Osteoporosis itself. I'm hoping taking this product will not only actually help my Osteoporosis but also, it doesn't have the side affects of "making the problem any worse." Read the side affects on the western mediation package insert and you'll see that the medication's side affects often make bones more subject to breaking than if one should opt for a more natural route through proper nutrition and getting a good naturopathic doctor

Increased bone density

I have been taking Bone Up for 2 years - 6 capsules daily as directed, because of the results of a bone density test taken at that time that showed Osteoporosis in my hip. I am 67 years old and had a hysterectomy when I was 36. I no longer take hormones, and I am not a fan of dairy products. Since I did not want to take prescription medication, I added Bone Up to my daily routine, along with a 3-mile walk 4-5 times a week. Yesterday, I had another bone density test and learned that my bone density had increased 8%!!!!! I no longer have Osteoporosis and have osteopenia instead. My doctor told me that this result was great and to keep up whatever I was doing. I am building bone mass!!!!!!!!!!

Hopeful

I've only been taking this for about 3 weeks. I'm giving it a 5 star rating because I am very hopeful. My dr. said this was a good supplement but also wanted to treat me with one of those Osteoporosis drugs. He finally wore me down and I started taking one. I read the paper that came with it. The side effects are ridiculous! I stopped taking it. He's going to be very angry with me. But it's my body!! I am keeping a positive attitude about Bone-Up. I have had no side effects with this and don't have to worry about getting any. I have read other women's reviews about this and between what I have read from them and the paper that came with that drug, I am hopeful that this will work and is better for me.....who needs ingredients that are put into soap in your medicine. Even that Osteoporosis drug paper said that they weren't sure how long that drug would have a positive effect. Who needs that.....I'm sticking with Bone-Up. Charlen

Hello Bone-up, bye bye Fosamax

Diagnosed with Osteoporosis my physician put me on Fosamax. A friend who was on Fosamax for eight years and still tested positive for Osteoporosis told me about this product. Her sister has been on Bone-Up for a year and a recent bone scan revealed a positive increase in bone density. Initially I shied away from this product because it is formulated with hydroxyapitite from the bones of young Australian cattle BUT when I considered the side effects and possible femur fractures using Fosamax, and the non-result of my friend on Fosamax, while hearing about good results in a year on Bone-Up, I opted for the Bone-Up. Jarrow is a reputable company. I've purchased many of their excellent supplements in the past and believe that they would put out a good product based on scientific evidence. The dosage calls for 6 capsules, in divided doses, 1000 mg each of calcium and vitamin D3, 500 mg mag, plus natural Vit K, potassium citrate, a bio-active form of zinc, and trace minerals such as boron, copper and manganese to increase absorption. Although purchased only a few weeks ago I rated this product highly based on my friend's results. Hopefully after a year I'll also have a positive result to report

The best calcium that I have ever tried

I have been using this product for over 15 years and it is by far the best! It has other essential vitamins and minerals that don't come with other calcium pills. I used to take prescription drugs for Osteoporosis, which made me feel like I was 100 yrs old. Along with exercise and Bone Up, I have reversed my Osteoporosis. I went from a negative 3.7 bone density (age 50) to negative 1.5 bone density for the last 5 years (since age 65) My doctor was amazed! I still have Osteopenia, but no longer have to take those horrible prescriptions that can prevent bone loss, but at the same time prevent your body from building NEW bone mass and cause other issues like horrible acid reflux. Highly recommend it

Life saver!

I have had increasing Osteoporosis ever since I had a complete hysterectomy in 1982. I was unable to take hormones during that time. So my Osteoporosis was getting really bad. About five years ago I started Bone Up. I just had a bone density check and I have not had any decrease in my bone density. The only major change I've made is switching to Bone Up for my calcium. I also of course take vitamin D. I am ecstatic. The way Bone Up is absorbed into the system definitely makes a difference. Thank you, thank you, thank you Jarrow! You are saving limbs...and lives!

Stabilize Osteoporosis

I bought this ultra and the bone up for my mom who's around 70 with Osteoporosis. She took for a year, had her density scan and showed her density being stable with slight increase. So she stops her Osteoporosis med. and will continue to take this supplement to see if she can get good results without the med
