Biophosphonates are a mixed bag in my opinion. I opted for something else called Forteo which is parathyroid hormone. My concerns with phosphonates being that although they increase density there is evidence that it makes bones brittle and then there is dead jaw disease. Also look into Strontium (over the counter) and Vitamin K2.
