I am just today reading a post you wrote a year ago about considering the Bone Coach. I have severe osteoporosis and am being told to go on Tymlos, and like you I am first seeking alternatives. Did you enlist the services of anyone offering bone strengthening programs? Wondered if you like it? I am about to do my own weight training program with weighted vest as I am feeling like what more could they offer than that. I keep reading about Algae-Cal but haven't tried it. Thank you for any thoughts you have about this journey.

I’ve read the posts here this morning about Algae Cal and their complement of Strontium Boost. I will tell you the I took these products for a good hand full of years. My DEXA did improve by 6%. Terrific right- NOT SO!! Though my readings were still in osteoporosis range in my spine the drs conclusion was - meds not indicated at this time. The next summer standing up from a couch in an inappropriate way, that at the time I wasn’t aware of by using forward flexion,I suffered a L1 fracture. I continued on these supplements for a few months after . Because of my new situation of a fractured spine I really started drilling down in my research and understanding. Strontium is heavier than Calcium and takes the place in your bones making your DEXA result look better. I have since stopped Strontium and am planning to stop Algae Cal soon by using other supplements to provide the things I want and need. Though the idea of the Calcium from algae sounds wonderful I have read from a very good course that actually Calcium Citrate is the better
choise. Good luck on your path as we all learn!!!!
