Oestrogen (estrogen) plays a key role in maintaining bone density, and declining levels during perimenopause and menopause are associated with accelerated bone loss. Women on Narrated share what approaches they tried for bone health and what they experienced.
Women logging bone health experiences often describe receiving a DEXA scan result showing reduced bone density — osteopenia or osteoporosis — as the event that prompted action. Some women log proactive approaches before a diagnosis, particularly those with family history or early menopause. Joint pain and stiffness are also commonly reported alongside bone density concerns.
Approaches logged include calcium and vitamin D supplementation, magnesium, vitamin K2, HRT (oestrogen is recognised in clinical guidelines for bone protection), weight-bearing exercise and resistance training, and prescription options such as bisphosphonates. Many women log combinations of supplementation with strength training.
Each log captures protocol details, self-reported outcome scores, side effects, and whether the woman would continue. Some logs include follow-up DEXA results. This is community-reported data — not clinical evidence. Discuss bone health with a qualified healthcare provider, especially if you have risk factors.
Established approaches for bone health
