Bone health or quality is important too. There are many people who've had catastrophic fractures after taking products like Fosamax. These products slow down the reabsorption of the old bone, creating an increase in both bone density and fragility with Fosamax being tied to increased fractures of the Femur (the leg bone by the hip). It depends is really the best answer to the question, and seeking advice from someone trained, licensed etc... will give you better advice than Dr. Google.
