Go to the library to borrow the book:
"What the doctors doesn’t know about nutrition medical and may be killing you." by Dr Ray Strand
There are many cases studies reported in the book.
Secondly, you need to know that the Nutritional Supplement Industry is regulated based on the Food Standard which is far less stringent that the prescription drugs.
As long it is safe and not poisoness, it can be sold. The regulation says nothing about its effectiveness and potency.
Most follows the GMP Food standard. To ensure quality and bioavailability (ie. get digested) it is important to meet the following criteria when choose the supplement to ensure high quality:
1) What GMP standard does the manufacturing adopt? Food or Pharmaceutical standard.
2) Does the company own its own research and manufacturing plant or does it buy from other and do the marketing only?
3) Does it meet the US Pharmacopoeia, BP Pharmacopoeia specification for quality, potency and disintegration.
4) It is included in the Singapore Master Index of Medical Specialities (MIMS) which is used by Doctor for over the counter non-drug prescription.
5) Does it meet Consumer Lab testing of quality?
By the way, to similify the job, you may go to the Singapore Library to borrow the book "Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" by Lyle MacWilliam which compares and ranks over 1000 multivitamins in USA and Canada.
Several of the products listed are also available in Singapore eg, GNC, Centrum.
I managed to borrow it from the library and is currently reading it. It is informative and educational.
Hope this helps.

Please go to your doctor for this, as doing the wrong kind of exercise from bad advice could damage her more physically.

Are you sure you don’t mean osteoarthritis? Problems with her knee and stiffening of her spine suggest osteoarthritis more than osteoporosis. The physical activity you mentioned should not hurt her in either case. In fact, it would probably be recommended. She needs a bone density test to determine if she has osteoporosis. If she has that, she needs weight bearing exercises. Calcium supplements and other minerals will be helpful. Fosomax is only one of the drugs on the market available for osteoporosis. I have taken it for 10 years with great success. However, I have concerns about recent reports of osteonecrosis of the jaw following tooth extractions for some long time users and have for now stopped taking the medication. I will have a bone density test next year and will decide then whether to start a different drug. If your mother’s problems are related to osteoarthritis instead, she may need anti-inflammatories and possibly could benefit from glucosomine and chondroitin. You need to clarify her diagnosis with her doctor.
