Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that bone strength depends on strength training so the more you do resistance exercises it will increase the strength .
Generally at your age there is no need for supplements if you have adequate diet but still if you say get your calcium and vitamin D levels checked because they are two main things that affect bone turnover . If there is any deficiency then there correction is recommended otherwise not . Rest for muscles having lean protein is the best thing . People take a lot of over the counter supplements but it is not advisable .
Take care.
