AlgaeCal Reviews: Their Bones Got Stronger. Yours Can Too.

Wendy James - Wilmington, NC

Hi, my name is Wendy James. I'm from Wilmington, North Carolina, and I'm 54 years old. Today, I'm sharing my experience with the AlgaeCal Bone Builder Pack.

Growing up, I didn't drink much milk, and in my 20s and 30s, I never really took calcium supplements either because I had trouble swallowing pills back then. I found out about my bone loss in my late 40s. My grandmother had osteoporosis, and even though I felt healthy, I decided at age 46 I would have my first bone density scan.

I was honestly surprised by the results. My lumbar spine T-score was -1.6 and my left femoral neck was -1.2, which meant I was already in the osteopenia range at the age of 46. So I asked my doctor what to do, and she advised me to take vitamin D. So I did. I stayed consistent with just taking vitamin D for the next four years.

When I retested, my scores had only approved about 2 tenths of a point in both my lumbar spine and my hip, and I was still in the osteopenia range for both. I asked my doctor again what else should I do, and the advice was basically the same. Just take vitamin D.  So I continued with just the vitamin D for about three more years, from age 50 to 53.  During that time, I wanted to be more proactive, but I didn't truly have a clear plan or a product I felt confident in.

Then at age 53, I had my bone density tested and it had gotten worse.  My lumbar spine went from a T-score of -1.4 down to -2.1. My left hip went from a score of -1.0 to -1.4. And what really hit me emotionally was what my DEXA report said: "With a Z-score of -2.1, the patient has very low bone mineral density for her age and sex. Causes of secondary bone loss should be investigated."  Needless to say, I was fairly devastated, and to make it worse, I'm a physical therapist. I've seen what osteoporosis can do. I've watched people lose independence after a hip fracture or spinal fracture, and I didn't want that future for myself.

So how did I discover AlgaeCal? Well, I reached out to a physical therapist friend in Washington state, and she told me about AlgaeCal and the Bone Builder Pack. She had personally used it and had some success with her bone density. I first, I just went on the AlgaeCal website to look around and kind of see what products they had and what the research said. And I immediately ordered a six-month supply of the Bone Builder Pack. And I also went ahead and ordered some Vitamin D3.

After the first six months, I went ahead. I did everything I was supposed to, and I decided to order another six-month supply because I was going to give this one year. And I want to be honest, I also didn't do anything extreme alongside of it. I didn't suddenly start heavy weightlifting, even though I probably should have. The only lifestyle change that I made in addition to taking the AlgaeCal was about six months ago, I started walking several miles most every day.

Since starting the Bone Builder Pack, the biggest improvement I've noticed was kind of in my mentality. I finally had hope that I was doing something that had been proven with science and research, and it was going to help me. When you're watching your numbers trend in the wrong direction, it feels like you're powerless, like you're just waiting for something bad to happen or for your scores to get worse. Taking AlgaeCal made me feel like I finally had a plan that was focused on actually building bone, not just waiting and watching.

So a couple of weeks ago, I had my fourth bone density test, and I am thrilled with my results. After just being one year on the AlgaeCal and Strontium, my lumbar spine T-score improved from a -2.1 to a -1.6. That's a 6.7% improvement. And my left femoral neck score improved from a -1.4 to a -0.8. That's almost 10% improvement.

What I can say now is that having a product I can be consistent with and that's designed specifically for bone density has changed my mindset completely. I'm no longer just hoping my bones don't get worse. I feel like I'm actively working toward getting stronger bones.

For me, AlgaeCal gave me something I didn't have before, a structured approach I can follow daily and the feeling that I'm doing something meaningful for my bones. To me, increasing my bone density means protecting my independence.

I feel like 54 years old is fairly young and I'm not willing to sit back and hope my bones don't get worse.

Judy Lebeau - Phoenix, AZ

Hello, my name is Judy LeBeau and I live in Arizona. I have recently had an amazing experience with AlgaeCal and I'd like to share it with you.

With a little background, in 1999 I began taking bone density tests every two years and my scores seemed to be holding steady until I received my 2023 DEXA scan results and they were sinking. My doctor was concerned, as was I, but he suggested that I start taking medications.

But I had a different idea that I wanted to try first. So I checked in with several close girlfriends who've been taking AlgaeCal for years. I spent time with each one of them and I listened and I learned about their journeys and they had nothing but positive things to say about AlgaeCal. I was impressed and purchased my first supply of bone builder packs.

During the next two years, I realized that I was feeling stronger in many ways. I was full of energy. I felt my balance was better.I was more confident, safer, less anxious and more excited about my future. No side effects again.

So in 2025, when I made my appointment for my DEXA scan, I was almost hesitant to admit that I was so excited and hopeful for the results. I had to calm myself a little bit by telling myself that, "No, maybe it takes more than two years to see any increase and maybe there wouldn't be a change." But I decided that I'd be happy if the scores just hadn't dropped lower. But here are the amazing results.

My spine T-score increased 10.4%.

My hip T-score increased 4%.

My femoral neck T-score increased 1.5%.

My forearm T-score increased 5.5%.

The combined total of the four T-scores has increased my bone density by 21.4%.

I am so grateful. And I'm wishing any of you that are listening to this to have as much amazing health for the rest of your life.

Lynn Visk - Florida

Hello, my name is Lynn. I'm 83 years young and I live in Tallahassee, Florida.

I want to tell everyone about the tremendous success I have had after a year of being on AlgaeCal's Bone Builder Pack. I had a Dexa scan done a year ago just before I started it, and I had another one done exactly a year later, which reflects 11% improvement in my lumbar spine since my 2024 Dexa scan, and a 5.4 improvement in my hip compared to the same a year ago.

My mother had very severe bone loss, and so this is something that I've been concerned about and pretty much all my adult life. She lost nine inches of height. My grandfather also had osteoporosis, so it ran in the family. The only thing I knew to do, since I didn't want to take the medication that she'd had trouble with, was to try to focus on the exercise, calcium supplementation, calcium rich foods.

And as a vegetarian, I get lots of dairy products lacto vegetarian. So I was very pleased and curious when I heard about AlgaeCal from doctor Mark Hyman, who is a functional medicine doctor that I have followed for years. So I did look into it. The fact that it was a plant based product and with vegetarian capsules, that was icing on the cake for me.

I felt like the stars were in alignment and this was the product for me, so I took it faithfully for a year. I had some questions in the meantime, and I called the Bone Health Consultants with AlgaeCal, and they were always very helpful and spent just as much time with me as I needed, and provided me with information to give to my doctor as well.

So here we are a year later with this tremendous improvement after year after year after year. Since my first Dexa scan in 2008, diminishing bone mineral density, and here I jump up 11% in my lumbar spine and 5.4% in my hip. And I have noticed that I haven't had as many back aches. Actually, I don't remember the last time I had a backache.

I used to have backaches every time I did yard work or gardening and other unusual activities, maybe lifting heavy suitcases, things like that. So I hadn't really thought about it. I didn't have it, didn't think about it until I got to thinking about what other benefits might I have that I hadn't noticed.

And sure enough, I realized that this regular back issue apparently has completely disappeared. I have some arthritis in my knees in this pasture. They have not bothered me as much as they had previously. So anyway, I'm telling anybody I know, in particular my older lady friends, about it, and I would say to anyone who has concern about their bone health and their bone mineral density: Run, don't walk to AlgaeCal!

Look it up. Read the information, the research. Watch the videos. You deserve it. Your health is worth it. Your future health and well-being are worth it.

Vicki - Oregon

Hello, my name is Vicki. I live in Oregon and I have been on a bone density loss journey since 2010 when I was first told that my DEXA scores were low and that I needed to go on some recommended medication.

I decided not to go on that medication but instead to do some alternative calcium supplements

that turned out to be the kind of supplements that are made of oyster shell and cow bone that's very hard for the body to digest. So when I heard about AlgaeCal on Instagram, I decided to give it a try and I've had very good luck.

So I want to share my last DEXA score experience.

I went in and I said, "I'm so excited to get these scores!" And the technician said, "Oh, this is not the usual attitude that people come in with. Why may I ask, are you excited about your scores?" I said, "Because I think they're going to really improve."

And she just kind of said, "Oh great, we'll see, we'll see." Now you do know that you don't get your scores today, that they have to be read by the doctor and then they have to be sent to your doctor. I said, "Okay, okay." So I had the scan done and she was just looking at my numbers and she was just really quiet for a while.

And then she said, "May I ask what interventions you've been doing?" And I thought, "Well, this is good news." So I said, "Yeah, I've been doing some weight resistance exercises and I've been taking AlgaeCal, which is a source of calcium that is easier on the system because it's vegetarian and there's absolutely no side effects." And she said, "AlgaeCal, how do you spell that now?" And so she wrote it down on a little piece of paper. And so I said, "Yeah, algae, just like algae in the ocean."

And so we chatted for a minute and I said, "Oh gosh, I'm really excited to get my scores." And she said, "Well, you know, I suppose if I just kind of look over this way, I suppose you could just kind of look over my shoulder and maybe just kind of look at the screen a little bit."

So I did and I said, "Oh, I've got to like it those numbers." So anyway, I got the official scores a couple of days later.

And yes, I had two years prior to this, I had made an 8% statistically significant increase in my spine score. So I thought two years later, I wonder if I'll continue to make good progress like that. I did.

This time, after two more years, I had a spine T score increase by 7.3%. And this is the best score I've had in 14 years.

Well since 2010.

And my left hip increased by 8.4%. And this is the best score I've had in 12 years.

So I was thrilled. At the bottom of my DEXA scores in capital letters, it reads, "Changes greater than or equal to 5% are generally considered significant."

So I was thrilled. My doctor was thrilled. But for some reason, the left femoral neck score remained the same.

So I called AlgaeCal. I talked to the bone specialist, Susan, and she sent me some additional exercises.

And she asked, interestingly enough, if I had one leg longer than the other. And I said, "Actually, yes, I do."

And Susan said that this causes more resistance to the right hip than to the left as my body compensates. So that left femoral will need a little more resistance work targeted to it. And so that's what I've started doing. So I just wanted to share this story. For some of you who may be looking at scores that continue to decline as you age, and who are interested in doing some alternatives that are healthy and safe and absolutely effective, I encourage you to try AlgaeCal.

It has been a game changer for me. And I'm so grateful that I found it. Thank you.

JoAnne Goodnight - Charlottesville, Virginia

Hi, I'm Joanne, and I'm so excited to share my AlgaeCal story and the incredible results I've seen using the Bone Builder Pack. My story starts back in 2021. I was relaxing on the beach when my doctor called with my DEXA scan results. He said, "I'm reviewing a report and I'm actually very surprised. You have severe bone loss." Oh my gosh, I felt sad and honestly a bit deflated. I'd always thought of myself as a healthy, active 61 year old, but bone loss does run in my family so I knew this could be a lifelong challenge.

My doctor recommended the usual traditional options, but when he asked, "Do you have any concerns?" I hesitated. I wanted to understand all my choices and find a solution that addressed the root cause. I'm a biomedical researcher by training, so I dove into the scientific literature and I Googled things like natural calcium supplements for bone growth and poured over journal articles on how to naturally rebuild bone. And that's when I discovered AlgaeCal. Being a science geek, I was intrigued that it's a plant-based calcium from marine algae and it contains key minerals and vitamins D3 and K2 that all work together, kind of like a lock and key to rebuild bone. But what really convinced me was this. AlgaeCal is the only calcium clinically shown to increase bone density. Now that combined with their money back guarantee gave me the confidence I needed to try it. So in April 21, I started the Bone Builder Pack, which is AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. And I stayed dedicated to weight-bearing exercises like walking, lifting light weights and even doing heel drops while brushing my teeth.

After just one year, the DEXA scan results were phenomenal. Let me give you some specific numbers. My lumbar spine bone mineral density or BMD increased by 26.4%. That move was huge, improving my T-score from a negative 2.8 all the way up to a negative 0.9. My right femoral neck BMD increased by 4.5%. That T-score improved from negative 2.3 to negative 2.1. And my dual femur total hip BMD increased by 5.2% with my T-score improving from negative 1.9 to negative 1.5. I was literally doing a happy dance in my doctor's office and my endocrinologist was stunned. She said she'd never seen increases like this. My numbers had moved out of the severe bone loss range into the mild to moderate. It was such an affirming moment. I knew I'd made the right decision. Fast forward to my most recent DEXA scan in May of 2024 and the improvements have continued. My femoral neck and total hip bone density increased another 2 to 3% and my T-scores improved even further. Now that's a lot of numbers, but here's the simple takeaway. I've seen significant and sustained improvements in my bone mineral density over the past several years. And my doctor told me, "Look, whatever you're doing, keep it up, it's working."

That's exactly what I'd hoped for when I began my AlgaeCal journey. Now for me, these numbers aren't just numbers on a chart. These gains have boosted my confidence and changed my quality of life. I feel stronger and more capable in everything I do and love, gardening and traveling and exercising, and most importantly, keeping up with my beautiful six grandchildren as I near 65. I also wanna mention I've had no negative side effects whatsoever and it's been so easy to fit into my daily routine because I'm so passionate about my results I've shared my story over and over with family and friends, several of whom have now started their own journeys.

So if you're considering AlgaeCal, here's my advice. Go for it, stay with it and give it time. Bone building doesn't happen overnight, but it does happen. I mean, I'm living truth, proof and truth and truth that it's possible to reverse bone loss naturally. Thank you, AlgaeCal for helping me feel stronger, healthier and more in control of my future.

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.

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 - 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.

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.
