Have you started on the road to osteoporosis? Do you have trouble with taking calcium? This is a product that has no calcium, but if one takes it for a year, and has a Dexa scan to compare, will strengthen your bones without the dangers that calcium has for you personally. A cousin of mine took this for a year and her Dexa shows that her bones have strengthened. I have calcium absorption problems, so I ran to the computer and ordered these capsules. It's only a few weeks, so I'll have to order a few more jars, and see what happens after a year, but from what I've read, it should help a lot. The capsules are small, and taste sweet. That alone is an advantage!
