According to a new study, acupuncture increases bone mineral density. Remember too, dietary calcium is most important but if you must take a calcium supplement, take your 1200 mg/day in smaller doses (5oo to 6oo mg). Your body can't metabolize all 1200 at once! Add Vitamin D, weight bearing exercise, and acupuncture and your risk of breaking a bone will go down. I've been post-menopausal for about 7 years and according to my latest bone density test my bone density hasn't changed a bit!
