If you have osteoporosis, like me, calcium-rich foods, vitamin D, and exercise can help.
But they may not be enough to keep your bones strong. So ask your doctor if once-monthly
BONIVA can
help you
do more.
Studies show,
after a year on
BONIVA,
9 out of 10
women stopped and reversed their bone loss
.1
And my test results proved I did, too.
BONIVA is a prescription medication to treat and prevent postmenopausal osteoporosis.
Ask y our doctor if BONIVA is right for you.

like yogurt

spinach

and cheese."
