Hello,
Osteopenia is completely treatable, so no need to be stressed. The said supplement for a short duration of time as prescribed by an orthopaedician is generally safe. I am assuming a loading dose of once a week vitamin D3 has also been prescribed.
But you must remember that these supplements are just add-ons to boost body stores of nutrients. You cannot rely on the supplements for the long term.
For bone health you need quality calcium intake which you can get from dairy products(highest of all dietary sources), nuts, drumstick (moringa), egg and fish.
The other vitamin you need is Vitamin D. It's available free of cost to us through sunlight. Daily early morning exposure (before it gets too hot) to sunlight is strongly recommended. The food sources are poor in vitamin D and have limited absorption through gut(to some extent sources like dairy products, fish, egg, liver may help) thus sunlight exposure is the corner stone. Expert tip is to take Vitamin D 3 supplement along with some fatty food.
Along with this a balanced diet will keep all your nutritional needs in check.
Additionally daily exercise, gradually moving towards weight training under expert guidance will improve your bone health.
Gall stones are generally caused due to bilirubin and cholesterol and calcium and vitamin d supplementation has no effect on them, however do avoid calcium carbonate composition.
Next Steps
Tab ezorb forte once a day for 3 months and uprise d3 60l iu one/week for 6 weeks. repeat t score after 3 months.
