Hi Denise:  Interesting question...  I don't have any personal experience with Ezorb, but here's some info on it that should help you to formulate the questions you mentioned that you want to take to your Dr.

The company that makes EZorb claims that their form of calcium has a 92% absorbability rate.  This would be great, but I don't know if the claim is really substantiated.  They also claim that it helps in the development of joint collagen and synovial fluids, also good if proven.

Below are some links to info on this that should help you to decide whether you want to take it or not. 

I found the dosing to be a bit complicated where you start at 8-12 capsules or 4-6 tps powder a day depending on your weight and medical disorder.  After 3 months of this then you are reduced to 4 caps or 2 tps powder.

They also claim that this type of calcium doesn't cause stones, again great, but is that really true,hopefull, you'll be able to find these answers.

In the end, the best thing you can do is weight the pros and cons and see if this is something that will help your bone density.  I suppose it couldn't hurt, but if I were considering it, I would want to know what is so different about calcium aspartate anhydrous and does it really produces all these claims--I hope so at this price.

It is really expensive compared to the other calciums like carbonate, citrate, gluconate etc. so I would check out all the claims before you commit to paying this kind of money.  Your pharmacist should be able to tell you if this type of calcium (aspartate anhydrous) is any different than the rest.

The above link is a long thread about EZorb and has a lot of discussion on it, so maybe you could get some first hand knowledge from those taking it.

Good Luck and let us know what you pharmacist and Dr say's about this, I'm really curious.  Don't forget to get 1,000 IU's of D3 and exercise as well.  I'm not completely sure that exercise and supplements alone will reverse your t-scores, but if they aren't real low, and say in the osteopenia range it *may* be possible to increase them with this-but of course there's no gaurantee for anything in life.

Hi Jean:  I'm thrilled that SC (Strontium Citrate) is working for you!!  If you haven't read the latest study done on the great results with Strontium Ranelate here's the article on it.

There's still the debate over whether SC and SR are the same chemical compound, but regardless, this study shows good results in the UK for Protelos (Strontium Ranelate).  As I'm sure you know, the FDA is in the process of trying to approve Strontium Malonate, and was wondering if you would consider that, if it's approved, over the OTC version of SC?

Good luck with your treatment.  Have you found any dxa facilities that will apply the "strontium adjustments" that need to be made to get an accurate dxa score, since SC makes bones look more dense than they are, which is similar to calcium content in bones?
