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.

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!”

Sherry Varner - Texas, USA

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!

How Visiting a Local Health Fair Set Lori towards a 7.5% Bone Density Gain

It was scary when I first got the result.

And I decided I'd better go see my doctor and get a follow-up bone density. It was scary. I had never been in a situation like that before, and I was concerned for my bone health at that time, and mine showed a minus 2.3. I was taking another product that had calcium, Vitamin D. I took that for two more years before I had another bone test. And when I had that test, everything stabilized. It hadn't gotten any worse, it hadn't gotten any better. It pretty much stayed the same. I didn't have another bone density then for three more years. When I went to the health fair and they had the ankle scan there, and I just took it because they had it. So I was pretty, pretty scared at that point and wanted something that would work, that would help build my bone back up. The things that I was afraid of were limited activity. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to do the things I like to do. We jog, we bike-ride. We do a lot of physical activities. We swim and water ski at the lake. We snow ski, cross-country ski. There's a lot of physical activity that I love to do, and I was really afraid of that. I was afraid of a fracture in my lumbar spine, which would have been awful. I mean it would have been terrible. It would have been painful. It would have been very limiting to my lifestyle. I see patients that have undergone different procedures in the hospital to put bone cement in those fractures to seal them up so that they weren't turning so bad. I've seen patients that have been bedridden because of the fractures and not able to get around. And I think that immobility is what really caused me to wanna do something. My husband was also afraid for me. And as I explained it to him in medical terms, he was very concerned. My sister-in-law, who actually is in naturopath, and she told me, I actually contacted her because I knew she had just completed a course, and maybe she would know a supplement that I could take that would help, and she told me about AlgaeCal. She said that she had seen that. She knew that it had clinical studies that went with it, and so I started researching it at that point. I looked at the clinical studies online and read about them, and that impressed me the most. Being from a medical background, it impressed me that they had done clinical studies, and patients had actually tried the product and seen the difference. So as I researched AlgaeCal, I was skeptical. There's a lot of other supplements out there that have some of the same kinds of claims, although they don't have clinical studies to back it up. I've been taking AlgaeCal since 2008 when I was first diagnosed. So I waited almost a year and a half before I went to the doctor and got another bone strength test. I came home from work that night, and I went to the mailbox, and I had the results of my test in the mail that had been sent to me, and it showed a 7 1/2% increase in my spine. The next year, I increased 9.7% in my lumbar spine. So, we've had wonderful results. I know that at the beginning of all of this, I had aching in my spine, and now I have none of that, and I feel strong, and I'm doing things that I love to do, and it's working. I'm only gonna keep going up because I'm not gonna quit taking the product. It's worked, it's shown results, and I do feel strong, and I'm seeing that it's gonna be something that I'll be living with the rest of my life. Even if I get into the normal range, I won't quit taking the product because I wanna maintain that bone health. And it's given me a peace of mind that my bone is getting back where it needs to be. I'm most happy about being able to continue in the activities that I love doing. I love exercising, I love running and biking and playing with my little granddaughter. And I'm gonna be able to do those kinds of things because my bone is getting stronger. I wish that more people knew about it. And I'm doing my best to tell people what I know and how it's helped me. But I wish that it was more widespread for people to hear, especially the clinical trials. I think that's what, for me, made the difference.

I'm thankful that it's given me my life back, really, because I can keep doing the things that I love to do.

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.
