unfortunately there are no "natural" or alternative treatments available at this time with enough research to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness to reduce the risk of broken bones in people with osteoporosis. preventing broken bones in a person with osteoporosis requires a comprehensive approach that incorporates the following four critical components: 1) a prescribed osteoporosis medication; 2) calcium 3) vitamin d; and 4) exercise. calcium vitamin d and exercise alone are insufficient for preventing fractures in people with significant bone loss (osteoporosis). in addition to calcium and vitamin d there are other vitamins and minerals that are important for bone health. for example magnesium and vitamin k are often added to "natural" supplements for bone health. research studies however show that the amount of magnesium and vitamin k that is necessary for bone health can be obtained from a well-balanced healthy diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables. there are many supplements on the market that claim to treat osteoporosis naturally. it's important to be cautious as many such products lack sufficient evidence to show that they positively impact bone health reduce the risk of fractures and are safe.
are there any "natural" treatments for osteoporosis?
