June 12th, 2010 at 8:14 am I wanted the people to know that Vitamin D is what you need for osteoporosis yes you need calcium, strontium, and a variety of other nutrients but without a good amount of vitamin D you won’t get better.

If you live in a sunny part of the world you may get all the vitamin d you need from the sun.
