Thank you for this thorough post. My endocrinologist went as far as to say that she would no longer treat me if I were to use AlgaeCal, citing an FTC lawsuit (which mainly pertained to the marketing claims). You can do a simple search for case No. 12-12382-AA against "Garden of Life"

I am, however, interested in trying strontium citrate. I see the amount in AgaeCal is 680 mg. I am curious as to the dose you are currently taking, as this seems high?

The research on strontium ties 680 mg to positive changes for osteoporosis. That is where the 680mg amount originates.
Some research ties a half dose to good results for osteopenia.

@equalshot Is your endocrinologist ok with Strontium Citrate but just not Algaecal because of the lawsuit from 2012?
