Anne Kopf-Sill - California, USA
My bone story started eight or nine years ago. I was playing tennis and tripped and broke my wrist. I was kind of surprised that a fall like that broke my wrist, but it did. That triggered a bone density scan and indeed my bones were on the poor side. My T score for my spine then was minus 2.3. I was disappointed and surprised. Surprised because I jump roped and lifted weights and hiked and biked. Just did all kind of things. I ate a lot of kale and milk, but there you have it.
I started taking standard calcium and vitamin D back then. Then two years later I had another bone scan and my bones had gotten worse. The T score for my spine was minus 2.9 then. So I decided to get serious. I'm a scientist and engineer, so I had access to all the world's scientific literature. So I really scoured it to see if there were any exercises, supplements, pharmaceuticals that I could take or do to improve my bones. That's when I came across AlgaeCal. The studies they'd done were small, but they were properly randomized.
And the people that took the AlgaeCal, their bone density actually increased. I didn't want to do something that was just going to keep me steady because I felt like my bones were already poor. So I've been taking AlgaeCal plus Strontium for four years. So after two years of that, I had another bone scan and my bones had gotten much stronger. My T score for my spine was then minus 1.2. So I was really encouraged. So I kept doing the same both things together. And now I've recently had a bone density scan after four years of AlgaeCal strontium. And I'm so pleased to say my bones, my T score for my spine is now zero. So my bones are similar to the average of a 30 year old's bones. It just makes me so happy because I feel like it's not at least irresponsible to downhill ski and play competitive pickleball. Of course, I'm still careful, but I don't think it's ridiculous to do those things. So I'm so pleased and so happy with AlgaeCal is part of this program. I'm telling all my friends.
