I know how you feel Scott. I'm battling for my bones, so I'm willing to spend the bucks. What I'm looking for is a reversal of osteoporosis on my bone density. I have been partially successful, but I think I can do more. I recently switched to Magnesium bisglycinate and now I am hot on Vit K2. This is long term experimentation. MDs don't have a clue about this stuff. We are the cutting edge. Other than people like us, the only population that I see facing these issues are seniors. In my opinion, MDs should be monitoring seniors for all the labs that we do. Instead they tell them to drink Boost and send them on their way. At 62, I feel like I am ahead of the game by knowing my numbers and adjusting accordingly.
