      <study_design>Randomization: Randomized, Blinding: Triple blinded, Placebo: Used, Assignment: Parallel, Purpose: Prevention, Randomization description: Ninety postmenopausal women with primary osteopenia will be randomly assigned into one of the two groups of receiving sodium pentaborate pentahydrate capsule and the group receiving placebo using random permuted blocks with sizes 4 and 6 and allocation ratio of 1 : 1  through RAS (Random Allocation Software), Blinding description: In this study, researchers, participants and data analyzer will be blind regarding allocation into the groups. So that, supplements and their placebo will be prepared by the pharmaceutical company in a completely identical manner in terms of shape, color, dose, and odor. For each participant, 3 small opaque packs each containing 120 capsules for two month-use will be provided and placed in a large sealed and opaque pack. Large packs will be be numbered from 1 to 100 and will be opened from No. 1 to 100 in the order of participation of women in the study.</study_design>

      <i_freetext>Intervention 1: Intervention group: The Sodium Pentaborate group will receive 5 mg capsules twice daily (every 12 hours) for 6 months. Intervention 2: Control group: Placebo group will receive 5 mg capsules twice daily (every 12 hours) containing carboxymethyl cellulose for 6 months.</i_freetext>
