Is osteoporosis reversible?
Yes. Bone density can be increased with calcium and magnesium, vitamin D, natural hormone replacement, strontium, vitamin K, and if necessary with medications like bisphosphonates and parathyroid hormone. Even older patients with a history of osteoporotic fractures can increase their bone density. Lifestyle changes including daily weightbearing exercises, lower protein diets, and avoidance of salt and sugar are also recommended.
