does protonix increase osteoporosis
I was told after a test that I have osteoporis, and I heard that protonix can increase my osteoporosis. I have taken protonix for over 2 years now.

Our nutritionist Jenn Rackley will be writing a post on this topic in an upcoming post. I will let you know when it's up on the site.
