This is all so very helpful. Thanks all for your feedback. I’m finding that the bottom line really is that diet and exercise are key! I do exercise daily and try to watch what I eat, so looks like I may need to add some other foods to my daily intake and consistent daily walking to my exercise routine. Continue with my vitamin D3 per doctors recommendation and I think I’ll add some K2 anyway. I have been taking a very low dose raw calcium supplement which has a little bit of everything, calcium, k, strontium, magnesium… and call it a day until my next blood work and bone density scan in Sept. and hope for no worsening of Ostepenia and improved Cholesterol results. thank you all!

Toni - If it's any help, I too came to the conclusion that D3 and K2, along with a better diet and exercise are key. I take walks most days and go about 3 miles at my best. I also take NOW brand D3 with K2 and take 1000 mg twice a day.
The other thing I take is Pure Encapsulations Calcium Citrate. It's more expensive than some other brands for sure, but I like that it is just calcium with no extra fillers, plus it comes in small doses that I can manage how I like. I only take one dose a day and then try to get the rest of my calcium from diet, with cheese and yogurt every day. Calcium supplements can upset my stomach, plus they come with stuff I don't want, so this seems to be the best I could come up with for myself.
I prefer to get what I can from diet, rather than supplements. On this regimen, my labs always show my blood calcium in the normal range, whereas before, it was often low. I haven't had a Dexa scan in a long time though, so don't know what my bone density is like with all of this. I just know that the Faslodex and other anti-estrogens just really eat away at your bones, so you have to do something, and I think diet, exercise, and maybe some supplementation is the answer. Good luck with all of this!

yeah I thought about NOW for that one but just wanted to make sure it doesn’t have ingredients which interfere with the AI. …. Phytoestrogens or ingredients which mimic estrogen… I believe it does not.
