Hi, I want to share my story about AlgaeCal and what's happened with me.
15 years ago, I started getting low bone density test results back. My T-scores kept on going down, and it was a concern. It's challenging to try to eat the right foods, get the exercise in, and still, my T-scores were going down more each test. So, I decided to try AlgaeCal. I ordered my six-month supply, and with that, I got a lovely phone call from the company, teaching me how to use my prescription and then also what kind of foods and exercise to do, so that everything flowed together nicely. Felt fairly confident that this might work for me, and I am pleased to say, after six months of being on the product, I went and I had my bone density tested, and my T-scores have gone up dramatically. My spine went up 11%, my hips went up 4%, and my doctor's absolutely ecstatic. After everything that we've tried, AlgaeCal worked. So I am thrilled with the supplement, highly recommend it. Thank you, AlgaeCal, for bringing my bone density back up, and it's exciting. Great time of life. Thank you, so much.

Hi, my name is Genevieve. I'm 57 years old and I'm originally from Belgium, but now I live in Louisiana.
In 2013, after DEXA scan, I found that I had a poor bone density. I took over the counter tablet, calcium tablet, and hope for the best. It was a wake up call when I had a new DEXA scan last year, and my bone density had really decreased in that time. Six months ago, I found out about AlgaeCal and Strontium Plus... Strontium Boost. So, I read about it and I decide to give it a try. This past February, I had a new DEXA scan and to my doctor's surprise, I had a bone density increase in that small amount of time. To give you an example, my second lumber vertebrae was the worst with a T Score of minus 2.8 and increase to minus 2.1. The T Score of my left hip went from minus 1.8 to minus 1.7 and the right hip went from minus 1.9 to minus 1.7. This showed an increase of bone density of 3.5%. I'm very excited about the result of my test and I sure we continue to take AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost as well as Multivitamin and Collagen and I try to exercise every day. I highly recommend taking AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost for anyone who's concerned about their bone density. I wish everybody good luck. I thank you for your time and I wanna thank you AlgaeCal for providing a natural product that really works and a reliable customer support team.
Thank you.

Valerie’s Doctor: “Get Me The Information On AlgaeCal Plus, and Tell All Your Friends!”

Hi, my name is Valerie. I'm a 55-year-old wife, mother of three, grandmother of three, and a proud dog owner. This is my personal story. March 11th, 2012, I was rear-ended, at a high rate of speed. My car was completely totaled. I sustained a whiplash, a concussion, soft tissue damage, bruised liver, and L4, L5, and S1 herniation. I was in physical therapy for months, massage therapy for months, I had steroid injections. I was taking steroids. I was on anti-inflammatories - the entire protocol.
Months went by and the pain was not subsiding. I was told that if it didn't subside by the third round of steroid injections that I would probably end up having to have spinal surgery. Well, in October of 2015, I had a fall. With that fall, I ruptured the disk that got injured during that car accident. So, needless to say, 2015, I had my first lumbar spinal surgery. After the spinal surgery, I was very dedicated to doing everything that I was told by my surgeon, which was to walk, to rest, to ice, to take the medications, go back in for steroid shots if need be. Also, engage in physical therapy. I did all those things again.
Nothing worked. So needless to say, months later I go back in and I'm telling my doctor that I'm still in excruciating pain. So we did more tests, and we found out that the surgery had failed. Where the screws were into my spine. They were now wobbly, the bone did not grow back. I also learned that I had a degenerative bone disease that came from my mother's side of the family, and I was blessed with it.
So, in June 2016 I went back in for my second lumbar spinal surgery where spaces were put in to decompress some of the vertebrates, to take some of the pressure off of the nerves. After that, I started losing hope because I was back to walking, back to physical therapy, back In hydrotherapy where I was water walking, back to doing slow weights - easy weights, eating right - eating all the calcium-rich fortifying foods, all the things that I thought would help my bones get stronger. Because I was devastated to learn that I had a degenerative bone disorder, on top of two spinal surgeries.
So at my age, once you do a mammogram, you can also do a bone density test, and I was brave, and did the bone density test. During that time, I had learned that my neck T-Score was a -2.3, my lumbar spine at L3 was a -2.2. I was pretty bummed, but determined to find something that could help increase my bone density. There had to be something out there!
So after searching the web and social media I stumbled across this product called AlgaeCal Plus. I read all the literature that I could find on it. I watched the tutorials, I read blogs, I read the research, and then another day when I'm sitting there, scrolling through the TV channels, I see on Dr. Oz that they advertise this AlgaeCal Plus, and how it increased bone mineral density.
So I thought, "Well, if it's on Dr. Oz, and it's on social media, there's gotta be something to it right?" So I took the chance. I ordered AlgaeCal Plus with Strontium Boost. My order arrived on April 28th, 2017, and I immediately started taking it. I was so excited and I had so much hope that I couldn't wait until 7 months came to have another bone density test to see if I had any improvement. My goal was just to stop. Just to stop the bone loss.
So on November 16th, 2017 I went in for another DEXA scan. And my doctor herself came out to the waiting room and got me to give me my results. She came in, got me, went back, didn't even have the door closed when she's telling me, "You've got to scan your report and send it to AlgaeCal because you have 11.1% bone mineral density increase. 11.1%!" That's greater than my anticipation.
My hope ballooned! My choice of taking AlgaeCal Plus, with Strontium Boost paid off, and it's paying off even more because now my doctor, who says, "Scan your report, send it to AlgaeCal, get me the information on AlgaeCal Plus, tell all your friends about AlgaeCal Plus, go on social media! Do what you have to do, but there's something to this product".
So I'm here to tell you that November 16th, I got my results back, and from April, when my neck was a -2.3, it is now a -1.9, and at L3 when it was a -2.2, it is now a -0.5. So AlgaeCal team, AlgaeCal researchers. Thank you! Thank you for coming up with such an incredible product that has given me back my life, and given me back hope...

“I could not be happier!” Shawn increased her bone density by as much as 7% in just one year!

Hi, my name is Shawn Mulligan. I'm 55 years old and I'm beyond thrilled about just learning of some very impressive results that I've received on my bone density. And this is after using AlgaeCal for a year. So I've benefited so much from testimonials that I read and listened to on the website a year and a half ago so I hope this is helpful for you.
At age 47 I discovered that I had moderately poor bone health. It actually scared me. It was so jarring that I thought I was going to break a bone walking across the room. So I took supplements and tried to make sure I was exercising.
So fast forward to a year ago when I was 54, despite my yoga practice and climbing a 1.5 mile hill once a week and taking my supplements, my bone density now was worsening to the point where I'm at a high risk for fracture. I'm 55 years old now wondering why I would be at high risk for fracture with all that activity. It seemed unfair.
A friend forwarded me the AlgaeCal website in 2017 and I reviewed it and I was impressed and peer-reviewed research means something to me in my health care decisions. And I found that peer review research on the AlgaeCal website. So I poured through that website, I spent several hours looking at everything on there, there's a lot of interesting material and I decided to start the program.
So I want to tell you after a year on this program I've had a whopping 7% improvement in my hips and a 3% improvement in my femur. I'm beyond thrilled! My activity level was pretty much the same; about 6 months into that year I added another day a week of the hill climb and I added some weights during the week also.
AlgaeCal is definitely providing me a very safe and natural means of restoring my bone health and I could not be happier, so much so I've committed another year to the Bone Building Program and I'm looking forward to some fabulous results. I hope this video has helped you and will help you in your decision process. Thank you so much.

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.

Betty Rombough
Betty’s Gained Bone Density for 10 Years Straight! Here’s How…
See More Read more about Betty Rombough.Betty Rombough - West Caldwell, NJ
Hi, my name is Betty Rombough and I'm from New Jersey. I have had a long history of ulcerative colitis since 1979 and also years of steroid use to try to help it. But it wasn't until 2002, when a doctor told me that I needed a DEXA scan to check my bone density, because steroids take the calcium out of your bones. I did not know this.
I had my DEXA scan and I was just shocked. It was terrible. So I decided to do exercises, and I decided I would do what the doctor recommended. Though, in 2006, I decided I'm going to take calcium citrate every day, 2,500 milligrams for a year, and see if I can't get a better bone density exam. So after a year, 2007, it was still terrible, even worse than it was before.
So in 2007, I decided this is a turning point for me, I need something that is natural and I prayed, and I went on the internet, I found AlgaeCal. AlgaeCal's advertisement said, double your money back if you're not better in six months, that was good enough for me. So I started AlgaeCal from 2007 to 2008.
2008's DEXA scan was improvement in every single area. I was elated, that was a first improvement that I had had. So I continued it. And the next year, 2009, it was an improvement from 2008. And then the doctor said, you don't need to have a DEXA scan every year, you can have it every two years.
2011, I was improved, 2013, improved still. And then between 2013 and 2016, I had medical problems that caused my 2016 DEXA scan, two of the areas lost a little, but three of the areas still were improved.
So I went from -3.0, and -3.2 and -3.4 scores all the way to what they are today, and you can check that out, it is posted. So for me, AlgaeCal is a no brainer, and I'm thankful that I found it. Thank you.

Hello, my name is Sheryl,
I'm from Buena Vista, Colorado and I'd like to tell you, in December of 2012, at 60 years old, I had my first DEXA scan.
Two months later, I found the AlgaeCal website and decided to try it, and that was February, 2013. In May of 2014, a little over a year later, I did a bone scan again and I got my results, I was so excited that my bone density had improved. My spine went from a T score of minus 2.9 to minus 2.3. My hip went from a T score of minus 1.3 to minus one. I highly recommend this product. I didn't do anything different, I've always exercised, eat well, and my bone density, I feel, improved solely because I was taking this bone health combination from AlgaeCal.
Thank you, bye.

Hello, my name is Pat Kenyon.
I live in Ohio, and I'm 62 years old and will be 63 next month. And I have three children and almost five grandchildren ranging from the ages of 12 and down to almost a newborn one at the end of April, so I need to keep up with them with their activities.
And I started AlgaeCal in 2015, and I had my tests done again in 2016 and 2018. My T-scores have improved from a -2.5 to a -2. And I've been taking the AlgaeCal Plus, two of those in the morning, the Strontium Boost, two of those at night, and my fish oil also in the morning. And I've fallen a couple times this year, and I've not broken any bones. So I'm very happy with using these products that they are keeping me very healthy. Have a very Merry Christmas from Ohio.

A 5% Increase in Ellen’s Spine and No More Bone Loss!
See More Read more about Ellen Kandell.Ellen Kandell - Potomac, MD
Hi, my name is Ellen. I've been taking AlgaeCal since 2016. I had been taking regular calcium and never saw any change in my DEXA scans.
I started doing more weightlifting and walking, rather than rowing, which I had been doing a lot of. I also switched from animal-based milks to plant-based milks.
And then in 2018, I was thrilled to see that my bone density in my spine increased by 5% and my hip is stable.
And, so, I think it's due in large part to the AlgaeCal, and secondarily to some diet changes and more vegetarian, not strictly, but more vegetarian diet. So, that's what I have to say. Thank you.
