What are some helpful ways to treat osteopenia (or osteoporosis) without using prescription drugs?

I'm working for a lady who has osteopenia (a form of osteoporosis) and she wants to try some alternative methods of treatment. She's also trying to find some sort of vitamin or supplement that would have calcium, vitamin D, Boron, Mangesium, and/or other components that help protect bone mass. If you know of any or can give any tips, please let me know!

those are all good but D3 is better than D.
I take hylaronic acid too. Walmart sells it in the vitamin aisle.
Omega fatty acid is also good.
antioxidents, ginkgo, C, E, zinc and selenium are also good.

Not sure if she would be able to lift any weights, but that helps build and retain bone density. Best thing you can do for your bones.

Have you seen this liquid vitamin-mineral called 10-in-One?
