Here are some animations showing how bone is remodeled with certain osteoporosis drug interventions:

Some of the animations are not working anymore. But the discussions are up to date..click on the blue words.

I found the animation for bisphosphonates--- here:

You can see how bones become very brittle clearly.

There are other nutrients for bone strength:
B12
Vitamin K
Strontium
Essential fatty acids
Magnesium
adequate protein

Low in any one or more of these in addition to Vit D and bone will be impaired.
