Mildred Enchelmaier - New Jersey

Hi, my name is Mildred Enchelmaler. I'm from New Jersey, On November 27th, 2007, I was walking with my husband when I fell on the sidewalk. When I was unable to get up, a passerby called the police and rescue squad. In the hospital, it was determined that I had broken bones. My right femur was broken, and my left foot, the bone was broken there, and my right arm.

After surgery, I was admitted to a rehab facility for two months. My daughter recommended AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost. My joints were also painful, and I was unable to even hold a needle between my fingers.

One year later, my bones were significantly improved. And now today, I am pain-free, and my bones are doing great. My friends call me a miracle.

David Sabot - League City, Texas

My name is David Sabot. I'm from Lake City, Texas, and I am 70 years old. In 2009, a bone density scan revealed that I was at high risk of fracture. I'm very active with running, biking, working out at the gym. So the situation was just not acceptable to me.

I did a lot of research online and I came across AlgaeCal. I liked what I read. I called the company and had a very productive conversation. In 2009, November of 2009, exactly, I started taking AlgaeCal. 16 months later, in March of 2011, bone density scan revealed a dramatic increase in bone density.

In fact, the doctor said he had never seen anything like it in that amount of time, especially because of the fact that I was on thyroid medication.

Follow up bone scans in 2013, in 2016, in May of 2016, also revealed significant positive changes, I had now gone from a -2.70 T-score in the left hip to -1.4. The spine, which was at -2.5 T-Score, had now become totally normal.

What makes this product not only unique, but absolutely phenomenal, is the fact that everything is natural. There are no side effects whatsoever. I just wanna thank you so much, AlgaeCal, for allowing me to have the lifestyle that I have so much enjoyed. And I am very appreciative.

Hi my name is Lara Pizzorno and I wanted to do a testimonial for AlgaeCal because it's been such a big help to me.

I discovered AlgaeCal because I'm a medical writer and editor of a medical journal and I recently wrote a book on bone health called 'Love Your Bones', so I'm constantly looking at the research on bone health and I came across a number of studies that got me interested in AlgaeCal.

I saw 2 laboratory, in vitro, cell cultures studies in which AlgaeCal significantly outperformed the other forms of calcium: calcium carbonate and calcium citrate in bone cells; in osteoblasts.

And then I saw several new studies in which AlgaeCal was very effective in building bone. And so I contacted them and ended up going on AlgaeCal myself. I was real impressed with the research I read, so I started taking AlgaeCal.

Let's see- it was the summer of 2011. And when I had my next DEXA run, my bone density had gone up hugely. My T scores in my spine went from a -1.9 T score to -1.5. Actually it was -1.7 to -1.5 and my femur went from -1.9 to -1.5.

So it was a really huge positive change. And I had been doing everything right for my bones- I know a lot about bone health. And I had been doing all the other things that I know about eating properly; taking all the nutrients and getting lots of weight-bearing exercise- and the only thing I changed in my bone-building regimen was switching to AlgaeCal as my source of calcium. So I'm sure it's made a big difference in me.

So after I finished doing this I was thinking about why this form of calcium was so effective for me; why was it doing so much better of a job on the osteoblast cells in the studies, and the women who were using it in the clinical trials? And what I believe is going on is AlgaeCal is not just calcium. It is calcium in the matrix of all the other trace minerals that the sea algae uses to form itself. And the interaction amongst the nutrients is synergistic. And I think there may be trace minerals in AlgaeCal that were missing from my diet- and are probably missing in a lot of peoples' diets that are in just the right proportions to be effective.

I know it's been a huge help to me and I will continue to be using it.

I'd also like to add that I had been writing some blogs for AlgaeCal about the scientific research and I'm not doing that anymore- so I'm definitely not being paid to provide this testimonial for AlgaeCal.
I want you to know I'm doing it because I think the product is effective and I hope you'll give it a try.

2015 Update:

[embed class="is-loading"]http://algaecal.wistia.com/medias/1w41udj28l?embedType=iframe&videoFoam=true&videoWidth=650[/embed]

Hello, my name's Lara Pizzorno. I'm the author of "Your Bones" and I'm here to share some information with you that I hope will help you and will encourage you to have healthier bones. In this series of videos, I'm sharing my personal story about why I became involved, why I wrote "Your Bones," what motivates me. Because several people wrote in and asked that I do so. So I hope this will be useful for you.

As I mentioned in the last video in this series, I just had my latest DEXA run last week. And I have to tell you, I was nervous about it because of all that has happened to me since my DEXA was run in 2012. And I haven't had one done since then. In August 2012, my Smart Car was rear-ended by a person who gunned it to get through a red light as it was changing. And my little car was totally destroyed. I was hit so hard that I was thrown under the car in front of me and both the front and back ends were completely crushed. Besides lots of bruising, I broke a tooth.

Over the next year, I had several jaw infections, I lost the tooth, I had to have a dental implant. And over the next eight months, my back began to hurt and it began to hurt more and more. What was happening, which we didn't understand yet, was that I was developing a fluid-filled cyst between two of my lumbar vertebra and until we figured that out, which took more than a year, the pain kept getting worse and worse because the cyst was growing and pressing on nerves coming from my spine. Finally, when I could no longer sit or stand or sleep because of the pain, my doctor referred me to an orthopedic specialist who ran an MRI. And a week later, this was in February 2014, I had back surgery to remove the cyst and I began to heal.

But I had also suffered damage to my left elbow and my abdominal wall. So 11 months after the back surgery, just this past January, I underwent more surgery to repair my arm and my abdominal wall. And then four days after that surgery, I caught the flu and I was really sick for more than two weeks. 10 weeks after all of this, just this past week, I had my most recent DEXA run. And as I said, I was nervous about it because chronic inflammation triggers the activation of the specialized cells that remove bone, our osteoclasts. So chronic inflammation promotes bone loss. And let me tell ya, I had a lot of chronic inflammation these past couple of years.

As I've said before, I'm also genetically at very high risk in great part because I have a vitamin D receptor, polymorphism that I inherited from my family that makes it very hard for me to absorb vitamin D. Plus I also have other vitamin, they're called SNPs, single nucleotide polymorphism, they're genetic polymorphisms that increase my risk for bone loss. I have a parathyroid hormone polymorphism that translates to my having an overactive parathyroid. So I'm more likely to produce too much parathyroid hormone and parathyroid hormone in excess promotes bone loss when it's chronically elevated. I have a polymorphism in my body's projection of immune cells. So I tend to have a stronger and a longer-lasting inflammatory response than most people. And thus, I have a tendency to be chronically inflamed.

I knew that I was doing everything that I knew how to do to make up for this. I was eating the bone-building diet I talked about in "Your Bones." I was getting extra weight-bearing exercise as often as I could. And I was being very good about taking my AlgaeCal Plus and the extra vitamin D and extra vitamin K2 that I personally need because of my faulty genetics. But I didn't know if it would be enough.

I was quite worried but in short, yes, my DEXA results were just wonderful. I am now well within the completely normal range. And given all that has happened to me since my prior DEXA, that's just amazing. As you know, a T-score between one, +1.0 and -1.0 is what is considered normal or healthy. While my T-score is now -0.2, which is well within healthy range and a huge improvement despite all of the above from what it was in 2012. My Z-score is also better than healthy normal, which is zero. Mine is 0.6. And my overall age match score is better than perfect. Perfect is 100% and I'm now clocking in at 106%. Plus, since 2012, my body fat dropped 3.4% from 26.5% to 23.1%.

If you've listened to some of my other videos, the ones on how calcium helps us burn more fat, excrete more fat and not feel hungry for longer, I can tell you personally these studies are not kidding. It's really true. I haven't changed my already healthy diet. I just made a real effort to consume calcium-rich foods, along with my AlgaeCal Plus to make sure that I'm getting at least 1,200 milligrams of calcium every day.

And if you saw the videos in which I explain that AlgaeCal Plus is not just calcium but contains four different kinds of plant-derived calcium plus at least 70 trace minerals that the sea algae use to build its bony structure plus vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 and magnesium and vitamin C and boron, and if you've tuned in for any of the videos on all the really great things that boron does for our bones, you understand that it really takes a nutrient village to build healthy bones. A whole team of nutrients that AlgaeCal Plus supplies for us.

So that's my story. Today, despite my unhappy genetics, just by car accidents and surgeries and living in Seattle where the rain festival runs from September through August, I am the proud possessor of strong, healthy bones. Thanks for tuning in and I hope this information was helpful to you.

Ann Clemens - B.C, Canada

My name is Ann from Vancouver, Canada, and I am happy to endorse the AlgaeCal program.

I've always been conscious about the importance of diet and exercise. I was using calcium supplements and thought I had nothing to worry about because I had several bone density exams that were close to normal.

So I was shocked when a test in 2010 revealed that my fracture risk was high. Not long after, my sister told me about the AlgaeCal program. She had been on it, and found success, because her bone density test had increased.

So I thought, what did I have to lose? I started on AlgaeCal and Strontium in January 2011, and had to wait three years for the follow-up bone density exam, which occurred last October.

The results were amazing. The density of my lumbar spine increased 13.8%, and of the left femur 9.8%. These values are statistically significant.

My doctor was pleased and surprised. I even more so. So I will continue to use the AlgaeCal products and recommend them.

Debbie Dā€™Arcy

A Fractured Wrist Revealed Bone Loss, So Hereā€™s What Debbie Did…

Debbie Dā€™Arcy - Swansea, UK

Hello, my name is Debbie D'Arcy. I'm 59 years old and about five years ago I had a fall. It was a pretty unexciting fall and involved falling from a low stool. And surprisingly, at the time, I discovered I'd done quite a fair bit of damage.

I'd actually sustained a wrist fracture by breaking both the ulna and the radius and the consequences were that it was quite a lengthy period of recovery really because I had secondary problems to the hand and that required physiotherapy. And a general feeling of well, not feeling very brilliant about myself and realizing how frail I'd become.

So I looked on the internet, came across AlgaeCal... Was very, very encouraged by the testimonials that I read and people's success and people's delight at finding something that was a massive help to them.

I'm delighted to say that I have had several DEXA scans since that time, all of them showing a steady improvement in my bone density mass. My hip reading, in fact, is virtually into the normal range, being a T-score of -1.1 so everything seems to be going in the right direction.

I have every intention of continuing on this treatment in the longer term until my readings are well and truly in the normal range. At the risk of sounding quite a clumsy clot, I actually have had two falls since then, both of them landing on the same hand that I landed on when I broke my wrist, and I've not broken any bones. And two of them could have resulted easily in the same condition. But things are strengthening.

I'm very grateful for that and I'm very grateful to the producers of AlgaeCal and Strontium for giving me something that I can feel confident in. I would recommend it to others in my situation. So thank you very much.

I'm here today to give my testimonial on how AlgaeCal in my experience has turned around for me.

In 2013, my DEXA scans showed a T-score of minus 3.6 for the lumbar spine and minus 3.5 for the femoral neck. I went to the internet hoping to find something that was plant-based or a natural substance that I could take. I found AlgaeCal, I read the reports, I listened to the testimonials and I decided that this is something I could really try. I immediately ordered it and started taking it. Because of insurance I couldn't do for a year, so I took for two years, and by 2015, a DEXA scan showed -2.5 for my left hip, which was a significant turnaround of 10.8% and for my lumbar spine -3.1 which is significant of a point 8%. I took AlgaeCal two times a day, AlgaeCal Plus at noon and at evening meal and Strontium Boost at night for two years, and this turnaround has been absolutely wonderful. Thank you AlgaeCal.

I would like to tell you about my efforts to increase my bone density. My DEXA scans done in 2009, 2011, and 2013 showed increasing bone loss in my lumbar spine and both hips.

As a health professional, I searched the Internet for information on bone loss and bone formation. I learned the importance of minerals, vitamins, quality calcium supplements. I have exercised for 30 years, and my nutritionist said my diet plan was very good.

When AlgaeCal products were presented on TV, I went to the website for product information and research studies. I took AlgaeCal Plus and strontium citrate from 2013 to 2015.

My DEXA scan in 2015 showed:

ā€¢ Bone growth in my lumbar spine with a T-score of -2.0 from a -2.5 in 2013.
ā€¢ T-scores in both hips were -0.6 from a -2.6 in 2013.

Because of these positive results, I will continue to take the supplement daily.

I received a call from my GYN, Dr. John Polito, regarding the results of my DEXA scan of Feb 21, 2012, which showed improvement in the lumbar spine, but a deterioration of -6.5% in the left hip compared to the Jan 30, 2009 scan.

Soon after, I happened to watch Dr. Oz's TV program where he mentioned AlgaeCal; I immediately went online for more information. As a result of that information, I called my primary physician and faxed her the information of AlgaeCal. That was April 2012. I took AlgaeCal and Strontium for about 18 months and the next DEXA in February 2014 showed:

  • 7.4% improvement in Lumbar Spine
  • 2.3% improvement in the left hip

I am continuing AlgaeCal and Strontium Citrate on a maintenance level and highly recommend both to everyone with bone loss.

I'm very grateful to AlgaeCal.

In July, 1912, I had a bone scan done. I researched Google and found AlgaeCal and decided to try it. I took it religiously until about November 2014, at which time I had another scan.

The doctor was surprised and said there was such an improvement in my T-score. I will continue on this program and recommend it to my friends. Thank you, AlgaeCal.
