I have a problem of osteoporosis. My t score is (-1.70) and vit d3 is 70 ng/ml. I have also hypothyroidism and is taking thyronorm 50 mcg. Doctor prescribe me calcium but seems ineffective. So please prescribe me calcium without carbonate as once I had kidney stone.

This is a mild form of osteoporosis. You can take any citrate maleate calcium (eg: supracal) to avoid kidney stones and higher bioavailability. But you need to be physically active to counter osteoporosis rather than taking medicines. 1.do brisk walking at least 45 min everyday 2.get exposed to sunlight at least 15 min between 11 am - 2 pm when you can get uv rays for vit d production 3.eat calcium rich foods like spinach, broccolli, cauliflower, mustard, almonds, pumpkin seeds and some fruits like oranges, figs, black currants 4.taking dairy products (controversial)

You need to take a combination of bisphosphonates, vitamin d3, calcium and vitamin b12, as well as increase water & protein intake. In combination with regular walks, your t-scores will improve over time (2-3 years). Cheers.
