      And it may explain why some people can increase bone density*‡

      Here’s something most people with bone loss discover far too late:

      Not all calcium can build bone.

      In fact, the vast majority of calcium supplements have never been shown to increase bone density at all.

      And that helps explain why so many people do everything “right,” only to watch their next DEXA scan get worse.

      But researchers uncovered one rare form of calcium that appears to work very differently. Scientists have even called it a “biological twin” to human bone.

      And in this fascinating video, you’ll discover what makes this calcium so unusual… and why it’s the only one ever shown in clinical studies to increase bone density.

      Click below to watch the full video now. Watch closely to find a hidden exclusive offer.

      In this exclusive video, you’ll discover:

      Why the calcium your doctor told you to take may be the very reason your next DEXA scan gets worse… and what women are using instead to see their numbers increase by as much as 17.9% in just one year!*‡  

      Calcium builds bone, right? Wrong! At best, most supplements can only slow the rate of bone loss. And that’s why researchers from Harvard, Georgetown, and the University of Texas were so stunned by this “new” calcium.  

      Why you should never assume all algae-based calcium is the same. This one overlooked difference can mean the difference between increasing bone density… or merely slowing the loss.

      Can’t increase bone density? The culprit may be the kind of calcium you’re taking. See how participants in a clinical study turned back the clock on their bone health by a whopping 14 years!*‡ 

      The microscope image that made scientists stop in their tracks. Once you see it, you’ll never look at “regular” calcium the same way again. 

      And much more…

      Watch the full video now to see why this “biological twin” to bone is the only calcium ever shown to increase bone density.*‡

        Can Strontium Boost be taken separately??

      10. Bee AlgaeCal

        April 30, 2026 , 10:55 am

        Great question, Lyn! We actually do recommend taking Strontium Boost separately from AlgaeCal Plus. As strontium and calcium compete for absorption, it’s best to separate Strontium Boost from anything high in calcium by at least 2 hours for best absorption. If you have any other questions or need help with scheduling your supplements, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) for support! 🙂

        My doctor doesn’t believe that supplements will help my osteoporosis. I take Andromache and there has not been improvement in my DEXA scores. My endocrinologist thinks I should take injections every 6 months. My dentist won’t work on patients that take injections. What to do?

        Thank you for sharing your situation, Roseanne—I can understand how confusing this must feel, especially when you’re getting different recommendations.

        Doctors may have varying perspectives on supplements versus prescription treatments, and ultimately, the right path depends on your individual health history and risk factors. It’s important to weigh the pros and cons of each treatment plan carefully with your healthcare team.

        Many people who come to us have been told that there is no natural way of increasing bone density. That said, many doctors have seen their patients’ improvements first-hand and are now recommending AlgaeCal! AlgaeCal is the ONLY calcium supplement clinically supported to help increase bone density, and this is supported by three human clinical studies HERE. If you’d like more info to share with your doctor, HERE is our Doctor Information Sheet.

        Most importantly, this is a decision where your doctor, endocrinologist, and even your dentist should ideally be aligned, so you feel confident moving forward. If you would like more information on AlgaeCal program, feel free to give our Bone Health Consultants a call at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) or email [email protected] – we are here to help!
