Just a guess. Interesting comment on the study not stating whether the supplements were used or not.

That is my wife's biggest concern. What about the frequency for maximizing the BMD? Is the maximum benefit for that in 10 range? Will the same benefit happen at a higher fq over a longer period of time? Thanks to all of you experts for your help. Thanks for the info about g force helping with the bone density.

For instance JOURNAL OF BONE AND MINERAL RESEARCH; Volume 19, Number 3, 2004; Prevention of Postmenopausal Bone Loss by a Low-Magnitude, High-Frequency Mechanical Stimuli: A Clinical Trial Assessing Compliance, Efficacy, and Safety; by Rubin et al. I have several other articles in my bibliography. After reading several of these articles, one realizes tha bone mass gain is induced by g acceleration. This can be obtained with both tilting platforms and vertical platforms. The advantage of vertical platforms over titling platforms emerges in muscle toning. So if you only care about bone mass, use either a tilting or a vertical platform. If you are concerned with bone mass and muscle toning, definitely use a vertical platform.
