Does Protos For Osteoporosis Prevention Cause Heart Problems?

Hi Dr. Rynne...I am 69 years old, and post-menopausal, have been taking prescribed Ovestin (HRT) + Protos (Osteoporosis prevention) - and no probs. However, 2014 reports say that Protos is not as suitable as previously thought - and may cause heart problems. I am reasonably active, healthy, take Vit.D and Calcium. What would you recommend as a suitable alternative to Protos? Meg
