Hi. I am 40 years old and was diagnosed with Leukemia in Feb 2010. I had treatment and a bone transfer and is now clear since end 2010. They did a bone scan and found that I have osteopenia. I also have early menopause. I am currently on Premique to help with my bones. Is there anything natural I can use instead of Premique/hormone tablets? Thanks Marlene
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Osteopenia is decreased calcium in the bones. Most common cause for this is poor oral intake of calcium. So you should take food which is having high quantity of calcium. Foods like milk, milk products like (cheese, cottage cheese), green leafy vegetables, fruits, eggs, liver oil etc. are rich in calcium. So start these natural supplements for Osteopenia. You should also start oral tablet witChatDoctorbination of calcium and vitamin D 3. This will help in increasing body calcium and improve your Osteopenia. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
