David Wise - Berkeley, California, USA
Since starting AlgaeCal, I have gone from severe bone loss to only mild bone loss.
Hello, my name is David Wise. I am currently 77 years old. Over 10 years ago, I had severe Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and was started on calcium channel blockers, which sure helped my GERD, but led to profound bone mineral density loss. I had an accidental slip on my bike and jammed my thumb into the stem of the handlebars and fractured my metacarpal, which was a puzzle to me. X-rays of my hands showed not just a fracture, but a shadow of where bones should be.
I researched and found AlgaeCal. Since starting AlgaeCal, I have gone from severe bone loss to only mild bone loss. My lumbar spine increased to a T-score of -3.7, femoral neck and hip to -2.2. And my major fracture percentage was 8.7 and then hip fracture 2.7. So my fracture risk was profoundly improved. That was in April of 2018. Then on March 16, 2021, I had a positive change in lumbar spine of 23.6% and in the femoral neck of 1.2%. And my major fracture risk had dropped to 7.8% and down to 2.5% in the hip, again on Bone Builder Pack. Skip ahead to just this past October of 2024, I continue my Bone Builder Pack and I have improved my bone loss further. My T-score is -1, up 15.8% in the lumbar spine. It is only -1.2 T-score in my femoral neck, up 12.6%. My major fracture risk is down to 6.5% and in the hip, the fracture risk is down to 1.9%.
In my case, I have found the Bone Builder Pack not only to be easily tolerated in my daily schedule, easily tolerated in my gut, it has been profoundly helpful. As a retired physician, I really like the research done on this product and I recommend it to all people who have bone loss.
