take the DEXA test your will receive what is called a T-Score. This is your bone
density compared with someone of optimal bone density. Once this information is

fragments of collagen that are present in Urine when the bone starts to break
down. This test is very effective is assessing if you are suffering from bone
loss and how serious your condition is. Again, once this information is known,
you and your physician can start to implement an effective bone building
program.

condition your bones are currently in, the sooner you and your physician can
