Taking Calcium and Vitamin D for Osteoporosis

Slides available here

Description from YouTube

"Getting enough calcium and vitamin D is an important part of the bone building and maintenance process.

This presentation is a follow-on to the "Osteoporosis Treatments and Medications" presentation so I recommend you watch those videos as well.

Osteoporosis patient education enabling you to work with your doctor for the best treatment. I attend top trainings in the osteoporosis field and present a series of trainings summarizing important information that is helpful for patients to know when they work with their doctors to develop a custom treatment plan. THIS IS NOT MEDICAL ADVICE AND I AM NOT A DOCTOR, I am an engineer, a researcher, and a patient with osteoporosis offering education so you can work with your doctor.

You’re not alone. -- Stay strong and do your best to stay fracture free
