Taking most generics is NOT wise. My Pharmacist and I have been friends a very long time, he repeats exactly what his late father did. Generics are CRAP. Take my Hypothyroid med, the Generic is 30% less hormone than the Name Brand Synthroid. My Endo and the Military base WON’T DISPENSE THE GENERIC because it is to hard to control. Thyroid is a very important gland controlling a lot of stuff in your body, and not all meds play well with it.
ZINC you will have to have to go online, and max take is 30 mg https://www.vitacost.com/vitacost-chelated-zinc-albion-zinc-glycinate-chelate?ta=zinc&t=zinc will have it, I get the Zinc with Copper and take 3 at a time. I’d get several bottles at a time until we know what is going to happen. Zinc is a important trace mineral any way and not always easy to eat enough foods with it in it. I don’t trust any generic except from Israel.
I reversed OP with vitamins/minerals, all but the 3 most damaged spots, back to osteopenia.
Belated thanks Ms. GailA.
We have 3 kids , all grown, but my wife was gestationally diabetic. That sets you up for Type Two diabetes.
She did exercise and diet for years but once your sugars become uncontrolled you have to go with insulin as high sugars over time can result in blindness, amputations, heart troubles, etc.
With a large bookcase full of health books and any number of kindle books she has a combination exercise/diet regimen that has her off insulin for ten years (after ten years on) with sugars under control.
No pasta, no breads, very little dairy, but bacon, burger, spinach, no peanuts but lots of pecans, macadamias, almonds & other nuts, I couldn’t give up all those things.
She’s the expert so I’ll pass this along to her. I’d always assumed that generics were available simply because the patent had expired and were identical in composition and efficacy as the original formulation.
Stupid of me as with so many medicines coming out of China (90%+?) where saving two cents per anything allows them with knowledge to put a formica ingredient into pet food to fool protein tests despite killing pets word-wide.
Untrustworthy replaces inscrutable for the chinese meme.
Anyway, again, thanks.
