Lee Lauritsen - Maine (ME), USA
I found AlgaeCal in an internet search in 2021 when I was refusing to take a bone loss medication. I started the Bone Builder Pack at that time and I've had steady bone density increases ever since. Earlier in 2024, I also noticed that I had lost some weight and I'm already quite thin. I didn't like the look of my neck and under my chin and the back of my arms. It was like the weight loss had taken away whatever was filling out my skin. And I was really kind of embarrassed about how loose the skin was in those areas. At only 61, I felt like I looked many, many years older. I heard about the Collagen Complete through the AlgaeCal Facebook community. And when it became available in June of 2024, I began to consistently take it.
My goal at the time was to continue to support my growing bone density. I imagine that any of the other benefits listed would just be a bonus. After three months or so of using the collagen, I was stunned that my neck and under my chin had lost a lot of the sagginess. On the day I discovered it, I went from mirror to mirror looking at my neck from different angles and different light until I was convinced. It's not perfect, but it is so much better. And I know I'm not in my 20s anymore. Now it's been six months. We're heading into colder, drier months here in Maine. And for other benefits, I can see that my skin is much more hydrated. Than it used to be. I'm using less lotion that I've ever used before and the crepiness on my arms, which I check out every now and then has much improved. I've received compliments on my hair looking healthy and my nails are growing like crazy and usually this time of year, they're cracking, breaking, splitting. And I go into the winter season knowing that I can't keep them long. They're so much stronger. I can't wait for my next DEXA scan, which is in five months to see if the collagen complete has made a difference in my bone density as well. All of these things I've been mentioning contribute to a greater sense of well being for me. And every morning when I drink my coffee with collagen, I feel like I'm starting out the day doing something really good for myself. I work very hard to eat right, get enough sleep, exercise, hydrate, and I appreciate how these supplements work as hard as I do.
