I'm in France. Here's what I'm on:
I take 2 pills of Magne B6 three times a day (sanofi aventis)
apart from the magnesium, I take 1 or 2 (if 2 with time between them) pills of Oracal D3 (Merck) mainly only 1 at bedtime

this is what each box says:
magne B6: each pill
lactate de magnesium dhydrate ......470mg
chlorhydrate de pyridoxine................ 5mg
la teneur total en magnesium-elemnet est de 48mg (1,97 mmol)

Oracal D3:
carbonate de calcium............1250 mg
calcium element ................... 500mg (really amount I'm getting)
concentrat de cholecalciferl.....4mg
vitamin D3..............................400

I do know that magnesium must be taken separately from the calcium - before the calcium, separated by hours and that D3 is important. I live in a very sunny area and I still take D3 so it's not just about sunlight I assume.

Also because the Femara is eating my bones, I take a bisophonate twice a day away from food, taken only with juice, called Clastoban. I have difficulty remember this but when I'm good, my bones improve.

Also in my case the fear is the breast bone will be the next target.

hope this all helps
stay strong, keep healthy, be happy
