Hello @guinivere, I merged your discussion with another about Doug Lucas and his YouTube channel and books - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/doug-lucas-and-algaecal-plus/.

Members like @windyshores and @michaellavacot have pointed out some potential red flags with Doug Lucas' affiliation or possible motives. When researching alternative medicines or supplements, especially in regards to osteoporosis, one must consider the motivations, expertise and financial incentives some presenters may be affiliated with.

@guinivere - have you been prescribed any medications or tried any? If so, how have you done or how are you doing?
