“I Was Scared To Walk On The Beach Until I Tried AlgaeCal”

Melea Dillworth - Bradenton, Florida, USA

Hi there. My name's Melea, and I'm seventy years old. I had my first DEXA scan in twenty eighteen.

And at that point, I needed to supplement my diet with more calcium enriched foods and some bone exercises to strengthen my bones.

And then I just kinda forgot about it. And, you know, bone loss is not something that you feel.

So when I went in for my DEXA scan in twenty twenty four, I was in for a big surprise, and it wasn't a good one.

I had lost quite a bit of bone since my last test, and my doctor wanted me to come in right away and get started on a prescription drug for that that has lots of side effects.

Well, I have a genetic condition, and I have trouble taking anything like that.

And so I really was looking for something more natural.

And as luck would have it, my sister was going through the same thing at the same time.

And at her doctor's office, they had actually handed her a pamphlet about AlgaeCal.

And being a former operating room nurse, I realized the value in that, that they believed that this was something that helps people.

So we both went on the builder's pack.

In twenty twenty five, I had my DEXA scan early this year.

And to my joy, I had gained a five point one percent gain in my total left femur and a four point two percent gain in my total right femur.

I also can't say enough about the the AlgaeCal support that I've had through the bone health consultants.

I don't know if you've tried to read your DXA scan, but it's like trying to read a foreign language or something.

And, your doctor really doesn't have time to do that, but they had time to do it. And so they were had been very helpful with me all along this journey.

It's been a very personal journey as it hit pretty close to home, very close to home.

My mother had severe bone loss.

She fell and broke bones,

and that cost her her independence.

She could no longer drive or live alone. I saw how she suffered, and I didn't want that to be me.

My own bone loss caused me fear of going out for sunset walks on the beach, which is five minutes from our house, or taking my granddaughter out in the backyard and walking around in the dirt and in the grass because I was fearful about the uneven nature of that surface and that I would fall and break a bone.

So I was living my life in fear.

Well, I don't do that anymore, I'm happy to say.

And I just feel stronger and more confident in my own physical health.

And the way I look at it is you have nothing to lose by trying AlgaeCal.

You only have gain.

And that gain is bone gain.

And that's a wonderful thing.

Thank you.

“I had a bone density test and it was normal!

Diane Riddell - Langford, British Columbia, Canada

Hello, my name is Diane Riddell. I'm 74 years old. I am from Victoria, Canada. I'm a great grandma with 10 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild. Recently lost my husband a year and a half ago, so I'm navigating that. I'm a full-time Mary Kay director for 45 years, and basically I've been a healthy person.

But 5 years ago I was diagnosed with an autoimmune syndrome that attacks muscles and joints. And my doctor was really concerned - so was the specialist, about the loss of calcium in the bones and bone density and wanted me to go on a prescriptive. And I talked to a good friend who also was a retired RN registered nurse as I was, and she recommended me to try AlgaeCal Plus, which she had been on.

So I looked into it and I was really impressed and I started it. A year later, I had a bone density test and it was normal and I again had another bone density test done last summer and my test again was normal.  I have been so impressed with AlgaeCal because of the education, the product quality. I've learned a lot and I already was, you know, exercising and eating well, but I'm now even more more knowledgeable about what it takes for me as a mature woman to look after my body and my my bones. So how important it is for the exercise and the eating right and the taking calcium, and I think everything's wrapped up in the AlgaeCal products.

So I just want to say thank you to AlgaeCal. And I would encourage anyone that's looking into it to look into it and give it a try because it is a wonderful product. So thank you.

Patty Vanderslice

“This is astounding.”

Patty Vanderslice - Mississippi, US

What would have happened to me if I would have sat down hard in a chair and shattered my hip? That could have been life changing.

Hi, my name is Patty VanderSlice, and I wanted to take just a few moments to share my journey with you, because I do believe it's gonna help somebody else. You see, it started back in 2020, when my physician at that time ordered a bone scan, and it showed bone loss. So in 2023, when I took that same result to my gynecologist, she told me, "Patty, your bone loss is so severe that you could sit down hard in a chair and break a hip." That wasn't good news for me.

So I started doing research on what was available to help replenish my bone loss, and I actually stumbled on AlgaeCal through Facebook, and I'm so glad I did, because I've actually been on the products about two to two and a half years, so I started out on the Bone Builder Pack. And let me share with you some numbers comparing 2020 bone scan to the one I had done about two weeks ago for 2025. Y'all listen to this, this is astounding.

So in 2020, my left femur total was a negative 4.3. Today, it is a negative 2.8. My lumbar spine in 2020 was a negative 4.0, and today, it is a negative 3.1. And there's some other good numbers, but my point to you is this is proof.

I'm so thankful for AlgaeCal because it has changed my life. What would have happened to me if I would have sat down hard in a chair and shattered my hip? That could have been life-changing. Well, I've been a nurse for 33 years, so I've really tried hard over the years to take good care of myself with nutrition, with exercise, with weights, rest, hormone balance, all those things that play a factor in your overall health. So it was very surprising to me at the age of, I think, around 56 when my first bone scan was done for to show bone loss like it did. I'm so thankful that my doctor ordered that test at that time because I'm almost 60. So with being a nurse for 33 years, and this is what I see as disease processes, I want to be able to take care of myself and have longevity to be able to stay healthy as I age.

So not only do I do the Bone Builder Pack, but I started on the collagen when it came out, and y'all, my hair is healthier than it's been in such a long time. I also do the vitamin D3 complete, and I also do the triple omega. So I think I take every product that AlgaeCal produces, and AlgaeCal, I am so thankful for your scientific research and all the efforts you've put into helping other people when there didn't seem to be much option years ago. So thank you for that. And thank y'all for allowing me to share my story that I know will help someone. Thank you.

“I Felt Like I Was Losing My Quality of Life…Then I Found AlgaeCal!”

Ann LaLonde - Fort Myers, Florida

Hi. My name is Anne. My bone loss was first discovered in twenty twenty one when I was tested for another issue.

I did what I thought was necessary, but my bone loss increased, and I felt like I was losing my quality of life.

When I learned I had even more bone loss, I took a hard look at my options. At first, I was perplexed, and I cried.

There seemed to be roadblocks everywhere and no good option for me. I took a deep breath and began my search, and then I found AlgaeCal.

My first impression was astonishment.

The website and the AlgaeCal team exuded clarity, comfort, and professionalism.

And then I began to encounter people in my life who had also heard of AlgaeCal.

Being disabled, I walk when I can, and I try to eat healthy as I can too.

My DEXA scan numbers went from minus two point two to minus one point seven in my right femoral neck.

They went from minus two point five to minus one point eight in my left femoral neck, and my total lumbar spine went from minus one point six to minus one point two. I feel less hip pain now, and increasing my bone density is important to me because I want to have the strength to do things with my family and friends without the fear of fragility that I have seen in others with bone loss. Another great thing about the bone builder pack is that I've had no side effects. I like to brag about AlgaeCal products.

If anyone asked me, I would give an enthusiastic go for it.

I feel it's well worth the quality of life that I'm enjoying, and the entire AlgaeCal experience has been positive and supportive for me.

If I can do it, anyone can.

Really.

I would also let others know that I can't wait to celebrate your success too.

“My doctor couldn’t believe my results!”

Cyndi Wilkins - CO, USA (Colorado)

My primary care doctor couldn't believe my DEXA scan results! I feel so much stronger that I added a jog to my morning treadmill routine.

Hi, my name is Cyndi and I'm 71 years old and I've taken Vitamin D3 for years because I know it's necessary for bone absorption. I've tried many different brands and I think they were okay, but when I saw that AlgaeCal had come out with Vitamin D3, I was so excited because I trust AlgaeCal more than any other company.

I was able to reverse my bone loss with AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost, so I knew that adding AlgaeCal D3 to my morning supplements would only enhance what I was already doing. D3 has played a huge part in my bone health. My primary care doctor couldn't believe my DEXA scan results! I feel so much stronger that I added a jog to my morning treadmill routine.

I don't get tired like I did before from just walking on the treadmill. My muscles seem to bounce back quicker. I also believe that D3 has helped my immune system. I used to get every sickness that was going around, but now I'm very healthy. My husband recently had a cold and I didn't get it and we didn't try to stay apart.

The last thing I appreciate about AlgaeCal’s D3 is that it's a very small pill. Easy to swallow. I say it's small but mighty and I highly recommend it.

I now know that I don't have to accept bone loss as I go through my life, and neither do you within your life! Written in my medical file as the doctor’s response is this, and I quote: 7% improvement in the hip and spine from last bone density.

I'm Sharon, a retired educator in my mid 70s. For years I've had bone loss and thought I had to tolerate it and adjust my activities as I aged with it. That was a growing concern. I now know that I don't have to accept bone loss as I go through my life, and neither do you within your life! I'm sharing my story with you, my journey toward strength and flexibility using the Bone Builder package.

Pull up a chair! I wrote a bit and want to read to you and share my story. I think I had long been waiting for a breakthrough in treatment that would respond to my condition by strengthening my bones without negative side effects, or multiple injections or infusions. Using online information, I finally found a research based program offering AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost capsules, as well as a strong information and support system to increase adult bone density.

I've used these products and the resources over the last three years. A comparison between 2021 and 2024 DEXA scans shows positive results in spine, neck and hip. It was a sporadic use of the capsules the first year. I did better after that, I was more aware and followed directions and I created an easy system to support my intent.

I still have previous negative bone loss, but I'm kicking it! I've got things to do like gardening, doing lots of travel, dancing, newly exercising at the gym and more. My life has opened, not closed down as a result of my success in finding the best treatment plan for me. The journey continues.

Written in my medical file, as the doctor’s response to my bone density scan on November 6th, 2024 is this, and I quote: Osteoporosis is noted, but 7% improvement in the hip and spine from last bone density. So keep it up!

“I’m Only 70! But People Think I’m Younger!”

When people find out I'm 70, they're usually surprised and they think I'm younger. I am sold on Triple Power. I'm very pleased with it.

Hi, I'm Sherry Varner, and I'm 70 years old. In 2011, a DEXA scan showed that I had significant bone loss. In 2013, on a Facebook ad, I saw information about AlgaeCal, so I checked into it and looked good. So I started the Bone Builder Pack, instead of taking the drugs. In 2019, AlgaeCal introduced Triple Power and what caught my attention was it reduced inflammation and inflammation causes bone loss.

So I checked into fish oil further, and I discovered that these things were true and that it also helps with eyes, skin, heart, liver, mental health. It's just really good for a lot of things. Why did I choose Triple Power as opposed to other fish oils? Well, I trusted the company. I love that you can, I've called them on the phone and they've talked to me at length.

I love that they have research and studies. Their website is so informative. I love that it's bio available. In other words, more than other fish oils, it can be utilized by the body better than most can be absorbed. Also, the fact that it has turmeric, curcumin and astaxanthin is a huge benefit. You can read about those benefits on the website and other sources.

It's also third party tested and it tastes good. Let me talk to you about some of the benefits that I've seen. I'm just going to talk about left total hip. In 2011 it was -2.4. In 2018 it was -1.3. And then I started taking Triple Power in 2019. And in 2024 it was -0.6 which is normal, -1.0 is normal and mine was -0.6, which is better than that.

As far as my eyes, they have not gotten any worse since I started taking Triple Power in 2019. I have reading glasses that I use for fine print occasionally that are 1.5 strength that I get at the grocery store, and they work just fine. My vision hasn't gotten any worse, and I don't have dry eyes or any other eye issues.

As far as my skin, when people find out I'm 70, they're usually surprised and they think I'm younger. I am sold on Triple Power. I'm very pleased with it, and I plan to take it for the rest of my life.

Cindy’s Doctor Told Her, “Keep Doing What You’re Doing –– It’s Working”

Cindy Geston - Fargo, ND

Hello, my name is Cindy, and I've been on AlgaeCal for the past two and a half years. I'm 59 years old. I had my first DEXA scan when I was 55, my doctor ordered it and I'd always been a runner, lifted weights, very healthy person, I thought, so I was quite excited for the results to come back.

So when they came back and I had a lumbar spine number of -3 and a right femur of -2.6, I was absolutely devastated. So I felt very frustrated and just went on typical calcium pills for a year, didn't know what else to do. And then a year later I found AlgaeCal and thought, I will give that a try.

So I started AlgaeCal and 15 months after starting that I had my next bone scan, which was actually two and a half years from my first one, but just 15 months after going on AlgaeCal, my lumbar spine had gone from -3 to a -2.6 and my right femur had gone from -2.6 to -2.2.

I was then seeing a bone specialist at that time and she immediately had said, "Keep doing what you're doing, it's working and we'll recheck you in a year."

So I was completely delighted and I kept doing my, you know, walking and running and weightlifting and trying to eat healthy and had another bone scan 15 months after that, which was just a few weeks ago. And my numbers now had gone from 18 months ago to a -2.6 in my lumbar spine to -2.2 and my right femur from -2.6 or -2.2 to -2.1.

So all in all, I have had a huge increase in my bone mass. From the first time I started taking AlgaeCal two and a half years ago, I've gone from a -3 to a -2.2 in my spine and a -2.6 to a -2.1 in my right femur.

So I am completely encouraged and I'm now going to start adding the fish oil and I encourage anyone to try it. It truly works, there was no side effects, it's easy to take and gave me such great peace of mind.

The radiologist even noted on my report that the increase was statistically significant and the doctors are encouraging me to keep doing what I'm doing. So thank you to AlgaeCal, and I hope you have the same good results.

Lisa’s “startling” improvements amazed her radiologist!

Lisa Henson - Austin, TX

Hi, my name's Lisa Henson. I just turned 58 years old and I started taking AlgaeCal probably about four years ago. And after a year of taking it, I was due for my bone density exam. And my T-score was not exactly where it should have been or where my doctor would have liked it to be. So I was told to take more calcium and maybe do some weight-bearing exercises. I did this for another year. Unfortunately, the T-score was still not where it should be. So at that time, I added Strontium Boost to the four AlgaeCal pills a day I was taking.

My next bone density test told a different story than the previous test. The difference was so startling that the person performing the test thought the machine was malfunctioning. Next thing I know, the radiologist came into the room to redo my bone density test and it still showed the same improvement. The past summer I started taking the maintenance dose of AlgaeCal, so three AlgaeCal along with two Strontium Boost. So I'll be interested next summer to see where my T-score winds up then. But it has significantly gone up and I'm feeling much better so, I highly recommend this product!
