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.
