I think once we reach 70 or so we can get just about anything! LOL I say, she should go for it! The funny thing is these people barely take any. My dear sweet mommy is 86 & prides herself on the fact that she's only just started taking Folex for osteo. On the other hand she used to drink a beer or two in her early 50's when she was driving our horse trailer long distances!!!! CAn you believe it???? She was never wasted but still.....
