Dietary Calcium Wasn’t Enough To Increase Ellen’s Bone Density

Ellen Suarez - Chesterfield, MO

I went a couple of years taking nothing more than vitamin D for my bones and hoping I was getting enough calcium in my diet, but that did not end up being the case. I ended up with severe bone loss. So I started looking on the internet to see what else might be available. It was that search that introduced me to AlgaeCal and Strontium. So I discussed it with my doctor and told him I would have another bone density scan in 6 months to see if the product lived up to what the info said would happen.

Well, it did, with my bone scan showing an 8.1% increase in bone mineral density at the total hip. However, I do still have some bone loss at the hip and lumbar spine and so I have ordered another 6 month supply of the product. Knowing that my bone density has already improved and will continue improving I feel better about facing the winter snow and ice knowing that if I fall my bones will be better equipped to withstand the impact.

I started taking AlgaeCal a little over two years ago. Shortly after starting I had my every other year Dexa scan. It showed I had pretty serious bone loss. This past March I had another Dexa scan. It showed that the bone density in my hip had increased 10.7% and in my spine the increase was 17.8%. Needless to say, I am thrilled with the results.

I’m doing so well that my doctor said if I kept on doing whatever I was doing I wouldn’t need another scan for 3 years. In addition to the AgaeCal I am a vegetarian and eat only a little dairy but lots of organic fruits and vegetables. I also take Ayurvedic herbs. My spine is out of the severe range and into mild bone loss. I can hardly wait to see what the results will be in three years after continuing to take my AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost.

I have shared my good news with strong encouragement to follow my example with my daughter and daughter-in-law, my nieces and close friends, and my Yoga teacher. Thank you AlgaeCal!

Barbara Briddle on AlgaeCal, “It Has Changed My Life”

Barbara Briddle - Arizona City, AZ

My name is Barbara Briddle, I live in Arizona and this is my story on using AlgaeCal and how it has changed my life. It all began in 2008 when during my Bone Density Review with my doctor; it was determined I had bone loss. The test scores at the time were:

  • AP Spine L1-L4 was at -2.6
  • Total Hip Left was at -1.4
  • Femoral Neck (Left) was at -2.1

I found an article on AlgaeCal and decided to give it a try. It offered a very good money back guarantee if my test scores did not improve over the next two years so I thought what do I have to lose.

In 2010 during my next Bone Density Review with a different doctor (I had changed doctors since 2008) at first all she did was talk about my 2008 test scores and her concerns. She had not seen the results from my test in 2008 and was basing her decisions on the 2010 test alone.

I had brought my X-rays and reviews from 2008 and asked her to please compare the results between 2008 and 2010. After doing so she was actually surprised to see that the tests did show improvement in all 3 areas. After further discussion, she even agreed to wait until the next test in 2012 before deciding on an action to take.

  • My Ap Spine L1 – L4 had improved from -2.6 to -2.2
  • My Total Hip Left had improved from -1.4 to -1.3
  • My Femoral Neck NO information for my Femoral Neck.

In 2012 I had my third Bone Density Review with another doctor (we had moved again). I hadn’t picked up the past X-rays from my previous doctor so I didn’t have anything for the doctor to compare the results to. However, I did have the hard copy reviews filed away at home. Reviews of the last 3 Bone Density Tests from 2008 to 2012 show the following T-Scores:

AP Spine L1-L4

  • 2008 -2.6
  • 2010 -2.2 – Improved
  • 2012 – Total 1.4
  • Still improving moving towards normal +1 and -1

Total Hip Left

  • 2008 -1.4
  • 2010 -1.3 – Improved
  • 2012 Total -.4
  • Now Normal Bone Density

Femoral Neck (Left)

  • 2008 -2.1
  • 2010 No Info
  • 2012 -1.2
  • Improved, moving towards normal +1 and -1

Because of the positive results using AlgaeCal I intend to continue to take it and will continue to monitor my results. I am extremely happy with the improvements.

Linda Matchett

After Two Shocking DEXA Scans, Linda Is Thrilled With Her Third…

Linda Matchett - Cranberry Township, PA

Hi, my name is Linda Matchett. About six years ago I had my first bone density scan. I had put it off for a while because I thought my overall health was good, and I probably shouldn't have done that.

My bone density came back very bad, and I'm at a high risk for a left hip fracture. Anyway, my doctor told me to take the calcium supplement, so I did for two years, and then I had my next bone density scan, and very much to my surprise that came back, no change.

So I was online one time doing some research and checking out what I should be doing, and the AlgaeCal supplement advertisement came up. So I checked it out, went to their website, ordered it, thought I'd try it, I like organic products anyway. So I did that and I had questions along the way, they were so kind to answer them for me.

And so anyway, at this point I'm making baby steps, but last year I had my third bone density scan, and my numbers are going up and I'm so pleased. I mean, like I said, it was small, but at least I'm headed in the right direction, and I feel I'm doing the right thing for myself. And also I wanted to give you encouragement to give this product a try.

I feel it's a quality product. The people are great. They give you a break if you order six bottles, it's a little less money, and I've been very pleased with it, and actually looking forward to 2015 when I can get my next a bone scan, after taking AlgaeCal for two years straight. So I really feel that it's going to be a very positive thing for me. So anyway, give it a try. Thanks.

Linda’s Doctor Laughed When She Wanted to Go Natural

Linda Sue - West Linn, ON

Five years ago, I fell and fractured the femur – the bone was treated with the placement of four pedicle screws and on I went. Suddenly, the femur had begun to wear away until I was forced to undergo total hip replacement; as the blood supply to the femur was cut off by the screw placement. During surgery, they discovered I had severe bone loss as the bone was very soft. Following recovery from surgery, I had a DEXA scan and found that my score was a minus.

The first orthopedic doctor laughed at me as I showed him the AlgaeCal and Strontium that I planned to use in healing and recovery from the state of bone loss. My doctor asked, “Is this all you are planning to take?” I told him that he should consider sharing this with his patients. Nonetheless, I found another osteopath that was willing to help me test the theory.

After six months of being on AlgaeCal, I ordered another DEXA scan and returned for the results at the doctor’s office. The doctor said he has never seen anything like this before. There was a 2.6 bone density increase. The severe bone loss in my spine was now considered mild and he relayed that the good hip looked as if it would totally reverse to a normal state if the results continued.

I sing the praises of Algaecal and share it with everyone I meet. It is a wonderful product. The best part of this story, over and above the bone density increase, was the fact that I could return to the orthopedic who laughed at me and share the awesome results of using the Algaecal and Strontium; also, urging him and his staff to incorporate this product in patient treatments. Thank you,

I’ve tried various calcium supplements but bone scan tests only got worse until I tried AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost – following the exact direction on the bottles. After a 7 month period I took another bone density test. The 7-Month Repeat Bone Densitometry Report to my delight showed a slight increase in spine area from 0.861 gm/cm which is an increase of .012 gm/cm. The hip area from 0.746 gm/cm which is an increase of .032 gm/cm. The report stated, HIP: BMD has increased by 4.5% over 7 months. “This does reach statistical significance.” With continued use of supplementation, exercise and lots of greens and live food I am certain my bone density tests will continue to improve. Thank you for your GREAT products AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost.

Sandy Ham

Despite Her Genes, Sandy Started Gaining Bone Density — in Just 6 Months!

Sandy Ham - Augusta, Georgia

My name is Sandy and I have an AlgaeCal success story to tell. I was determined not to be a statistic. In my mid-20s, I made significant health changes. I became a vegetarian, began taking calcium supplements, and exercising.

So I began seeing some holistic health professionals and after three years, my bone density continued to decline. In July 2013, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. I consulted a holistic professional but eventually, it was determined that I needed to begin taking thyroid medication, a generic form of Synthroid. The medication significantly improved my symptoms but I was concerned about how it might affect my bone density.

I'd previously researched the AlgaeCal program but was hesitant to try it because of the cost. However, after trying so many other options, figured what have I go to lose except about $300 if it didn't work? But I could gain back my bone health if it did work.

So I decided to take the risk and ordered my first six months' supply. I began taking AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost in February of 2014 and had a DEXA scan in August of 2014. My scan revealed that I had the most significant change being in my left femur, which had gone from a T-score of -4 to -2.2 in just six months on the AlgaeCal program. And this happened during the same time that I was also taking thyroid medication.

I am such a believer in the AlgaeCal program and I plan to stay on it for the rest of my life.

Sheryl Archuleta - Buena Vista, CO

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.

Virginia Can Now Bend and Twist Without Any Pain

I am 67 years young.  I have been an advocate for natural healing for many years. I once managed a health food store and heard many stories from my customers of remarkable healing using natural approaches. I myself have healed myself and my family members, over the years, using natural supplements and foods.

But, I realized recently that I had developed a sort of blind spot regarding calcium. I knew that most calcium supplements are made from oyster shells and are not fully utilized within the body and can contribute to calcium "deposits". So, I tended to avoid taking them. I figured I could get the calcium I needed in the foods I ate. However, I failed to consider that I was eating less calcium-rich dairy foods since I seemed to feel better when I avoided them.

About a year ago, I noticed that my lower back, left side, was becoming increasingly painful and sore when I bent over even a little. The pain grew worse and worse over time. Eventually, I could feel it spread to my hip joint as well. I tried using topical oils and lots of cod liver oil and vitamin D. But, it seemed like there was something missing from those that my body really needed to heal.

During a visit to the doctor for another internal problem, I had an X-ray. I overheard the doctor telling a nurse that the X-ray showed everything normal except for some obvious deterioration of the spine.

After hearing this, I decided to take action and find some supplements that would specifically help my bones and discs in my spine strengthen. I could actually "feel" the bulging disc when I pressed my fingers where the pain was in my lower back. I knew that further deterioration was likely if I kept ignoring the problem.

I went online and found several kinds of calcium supplements. Then I found AlgaeCal and really liked that it was derived from algae rather than oyster shells, which I knew could be assimilated by my body more easily. I also liked that it was shown to be effective in building bone density. I went ahead and ordered a bottle to try.

I started taking two capsules each morning and afternoon. I noticed that the pain was lessening on the third day. It was still there. But, it was not as intense. After the first week, my back definitely felt better. I started doing some simple stretches, hoping to lessen the bulging disc I could feel on my left side. I slowly improved and was able to stretch farther and bend more without pain. And to my surprise, the bulging disc began to subside.

I ordered three more bottles of AlgaeCal. Then, as an experiment, I went for a while without taking any and noticed that the pain started to return. So, I started taking the four capsules a day again, and to my surprise, the pain went away again.

I now have been taking AlgaeCal for about two months, every day and each day I have felt improvement. The bulging disc is almost imperceptible now. It has definitely been healing. I can bend and twist without any pain. In fact, I feel strong and flexible like I did when I was young.

As a result of this miraculous recovery, I am able to do yoga stretches on a regular basis. I know AlgaeCal was instrumental in bringing me to my current state of health and I am committed to taking it every day. Thank you so much for making a great product.
