Hello,
As your mother is having low levels of calcium and is diagnosed with osteoporosis I will advise taking calcium supplements and vitamin D3 supplement via medicines.
Gamcal is given to people having Low levels of calcium. It's a drug with a combination of calcium and vitamin D3.
I will advise to continue the medicine, take dietary supplements like milk and curd, have sunbath etc.
Also, do simple exercises like weight bearing will help improve bone strength.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
