LFTs include measurements of albumin, various liver enzymes, bilirubin, cholesterol and total protein. All of these tests can be performed at the same time.

To answer your question about Osteoporosis prevention… Taking a multi-vitamin daily is a very, very good start to obtaining and maintaining optimum health. And it’s very good that you are thinking about osteoporosis prevention because you are, unfortunately, right in the middle of the ‘at risk’ group. Review your multi-vitamin label carefully – in addition to a good diet, to prevent osteoporosis, you need a balanced combination of nutrients: Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Copper and Boron. These nutrients work in concert to keep your bones healthy and strong for many years. In addition to a healthy diet, you need a daily supplement that includes: 1200 mg Calcium 600 mg Magnesium 400 IU to 1000 IU Vitamin D3 30 mg Zinc 1.5 mg copper 2 mg of boron You may or may not get all of these nutrients in your multi-vitamin. And I’d be surprised if your multi-vitamin contains 1200 mg of Calcium. One last point and this is important… Absorbability – Most multi-vitamins and most calcium supplements that you find at drug stores use Calcium Carbonate. Unfortunately, Calcium Carbonate is not very absorbable – you could take handfuls of Calcium Carbonate and your body could still be calcium-deprived because your body is not absorbing the calcium. Check your label to see what type of calcium is in your multi-vitamin. The type of calcium that you need to take is Calcium Bis-glycinate. The supplement that I recommended in my Osteoporosis article is Bone Restore from Life Extension Foundation. I recommended this product because it contains all of the nutrients and the appropriate amount of an absorbable calcium all in one or two capsules (I’d personally do anything to cut down on the number of tablet that I have to take). Let me know if you have more questions. Take care, Doug Hi Barbara,

Great news about your HRT milestone!

To answer your question about Osteoporosis prevention…

Taking a multi-vitamin daily is a very, very good start to obtaining and maintaining optimum health. And it’s very good that you are thinking about osteoporosis prevention because you are, unfortunately, right in the middle of the ‘at risk’ group.

Review your multi-vitamin label carefully – in addition to a good diet, to prevent osteoporosis, you need a balanced combination of nutrients: Calcium, Magnesium, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Copper and Boron. These nutrients work in concert to keep your bones healthy and strong for many years.

In addition to a healthy diet, you need a daily supplement that includes:

1200 mg Calcium
600 mg Magnesium
400 IU to 1000 IU Vitamin D3
30 mg Zinc
1.5 mg copper
2 mg of boron

You may or may not get all of these nutrients in your multi-vitamin. And I’d be surprised if your multi-vitamin contains 1200 mg of Calcium.

One last point and this is important… Absorbability – Most multi-vitamins and most calcium supplements that you find at drug stores use Calcium Carbonate. Unfortunately, Calcium Carbonate is not very absorbable – you could take handfuls of Calcium Carbonate and your body could still be calcium-deprived because your body is not absorbing the calcium. Check your label to see what type of calcium is in your multi-vitamin. The type of calcium that you need to take is Calcium Bis-glycinate.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Take care,

Doug
