I’ve been taking AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium for 3 years. My last Dexa showed improvement!

@gailabee the strontium will make your bone density look better on DEXA that it really is. Strontium replaces calcium in bone and is denser, to the scan looks denser than if you didn't take strontium. This does not mean you have no improvement. But the DEXA results should be adjusted by a radiologist who knows how to adjust for strontium.

Also, I have kept a chart on my DEXA results since 2006 and the scores jump around a bit so unfortunately we have to look at trends, and we only usually have the scans every two years, so trend watching is difficult!
