“If more calcium/vitamin d or big pharma meds were the solution for bone density issues, then there would be no rich women (who actual take medical advice from a physician) with osteoporosis. There is plenty of calcium in the diets of American women. The issue is hypoaminoacidemia and the fact that most American start losing 1% of their skin and muscles each year from the age of 20. Protein degradation is the under appreciated contributor of bone loss. You need collagen for infrastructure to the calcium.”

Please elaborate. Exactly how to increase collagen? Eat more protein?

Digesting the protein without sufficient stomach acid is very problematic. We all need whey protein several times per day in order to overcome the inability to digest protein.
