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.
