Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

Posted by maryeve @maryeve, Aug 21, 2023

You stand on it twice a day for 10 minutes. It gently vibrates and also helps with improving balance. The Marodyne is made in Germany and costs about $3,000. It has not been FDA approved but there are studies in progress.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

Here is an interview with a woman who used the Marodyne and her score significantly improved:

I just got one and started to use. 10 min 2X a day at 24 HZ. I am trying to work up to 30 HZ. Yes, customer service is exceptional. I am 68 and have oesteopenia and on AI meds. Hoping it helps with bone density - but it seems there are other benefits too.

Dear Thor902: How is it going with the Vibration Therapeutic VT007? I have listened to Dr. Doug’s conclusion video about WBV several times now and he leans toward Power Plate as he doesn’t trust the limited and he thinks skewed research for Marodyne and thinks most of us could go a little higher on the low intensity end although there just isn’t that much research out there that isn’t biased or flawed. Dr. Tang claims that the VTOO7 offers lower amplitude (0.7 - 1.2mm) and 30 HZ which I need. The price is right and the reviews online are great. I have read Dr. Jay’s website over and over..there’s a lot of good information there and his customer service and warranty (10 years) sound excellent. I would love to know what you think of the machine having owned it now for almost a month. Thank you so much! 🙏

Hi Trixiegirl, I, too, have this model and love the simplicity of its construction, use and fair pricing. The customer service is tops! I am not a fan of Marodyne, which is way too expensive for most. A long awaited VIBMORE study had not proved the efficacy claimed. Folks on you-tube promoting (Marodyne) as an adjunct for cancer patients without any serious trials, just mice, scare me. Personally, I'll take my chances on a less expensive yet quality plate at this time. Take care.

I've had 3 lumbar spine fractures.

My bone doc say the Power Plate and other high intensity platforms are too strong for people who are prone to fragility fractures, but that Low Intensity Vibration (LIV) might be helpful. I have posted on this topic before. I bought the VibrantHealthBC Ultimate Vibe machine, which is much less expensive than Marodyne and has options for different vibration levels. I found no negative reviews of this product or company. Sometimes they have sales. I have not had DEXA since I started using it, so who knows.

Thank you for sharing! How have you been using the VT007? What settings and how does it feel? I asked on the VT007 website about settings and I was told given my weight and height 120lbs 5’4” that the low amplitude setting provides about 1G at 30Hz. The website is replete with information about WBV and there are several pages explaining all the terminology and lots of illustrations and diagrams. I appreciate how much time they take to answer questions which are posted.

Does the VT007 make a lot of noise? Also how much does it shake the floor? These are points that have been mentioned because it is a lighter device. Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Trixie, the sound is a muted hum that is hardly noticeable. The unit has 4 suction cups 1 in each corner that hold it solidly to my tile floor. There really is minimal vibration. I use mine at the default of 15hz which is comfortable for me. I've tried using light arm weights and also the bent knee position holding onto the base of my bed 😊. It works for support and I'm hoping it will help my hip area. I'm honestly quite pleased with this company, no bells and whistles, and no outrageous promises. I use it as an adjunct with hopes it will do some good.

Dear Rola: Thank you very much for sharing more details. I really needed to hear from someone who owns and uses one. I’m glad to know it’s not too noisy and I think the vibration will be fine for our old home and wooden floors. I’ll put something under it to absorb excessive vibrations. I hope it helps you. I will keep you posted about my experience as well. I’m happy to have found a WBV that isn’t too expensive but still quality and offering a lower intensity vertical vibration.😊 Thanks again!🙏

Some questions:
If you saw improvement did you use supplements and exercise too?
Did anyone see improvement using Marodyne LiV alone?

Thank you

I’ve only had Marodyne for two months, but all my back pain is gone. I’ll share updates with my next DEXA.
