- Osteoporosis treatment with denosumab is helped by Vitamin D and Calcium – 2017
- Calcium added for osteoporosis may not help and might be harmful – Feb 2018
- Osteoporosis helped by Vitamin D, still not willing to recommend exact dose size – Nov 2016
- 20X increase in vitamin D sold and 36 percent decrease in osteoporosis business in Australia – Nov 2013
Suspect that some Osteo clinics fear having to close down if patients start using enough vitamin D
Overview Osteoporosis and vitamin D contains the following summary
- FACT: Bones need Calcium (this has been known for a very long time)
- FACT: Vitamin D improves Calcium bioavailability (3X ?)
- FACT: Should not take > 750 mg of Calcium if taking lots of vitamin D (Calcium becomes too bio-available)
- FACT: Adding vitamin D via Sun, UV, or supplements increased vitamin D in the blood
- FACT: Vitamin D supplements are very low cost
- FACT: Many trials, studies. reviews, and meta-analysis agree: adding vitamin D reduces osteoporosis
- FACT: Toxic level of vitamin D is about 4X higher than the amount needed to reduce osteoporosis
- FACT: Co-factors help build bones.
- FACT: Vitamin D Receptor can restrict Vitamin D from getting to many tissues, such as bones
- It appears that to TREAT Osteoporosis:
- Calcium OR vitamin D is ok
- Calcium + vitamin D is good
- Calcium + vitamin D + other co-factors is great
- Low-cost Vitamin D Receptor activators sometimes may be helpful
- CONCLUSION: To PREVENT many diseases, including Osteoporosis, as well as TREAT Osteoporosis

Factors associated with an inadequate response (IR) to bisphosphonates have been reported in many countries, but not in Japan, where the approved dose is half the global dose. We analyzed factors associated with IR to risedronate in Japanese patients with osteoporosis. This was a post hoc analysis of 1261 Japanese osteoporosis patients who received risedronate for 1 year in phase III trials. IR was defined as more than one new vertebral fracture (VF) and/or negative change in lumbar spine bone mineral density (BMD) at 1 year. Various baseline and follow-up variables were examined for potential contribution to IR. Of the 1261 subjects, 118 exhibited an IR. At baseline, IR was associated with a higher BMD, lower levels of bone turnover markers (BTM) (serum bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, urinary N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen and C-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen), and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] below 16 ng/mL.
BTM changes were blunted at 6 months in subjects with IR. On simple regression analysis, all the above variables and poor drug adherence were associated with an IR. On multivariate regression analysis, factors associated with IR were high BMD, vitamin D deficiency at baseline and low BTM at baseline, or a decreased BTM response at 6 months.
Low serum 25(OH)D and BTM as well as high BMD at baseline were independent predictors of an IR to risedronate in Japan. These results emphasize the importance of the assessment of serum 25(OH)D and BTM in the management of osteoporosis with bisphosphonates.PMID: 29737412 DOI: 10.1007/s00774-018-0931-2
