Doug Lucas and Algaecal Plus???

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in 2022 by an Ayurvedic specialist in Iowa. My doctor reluctantly (due to my age) ordered a bone scan and the results showed osteoporosis. I was 52 at the time. We discussed options for treatment and decided I wound go the non pharmaceutical route. I took calcium supplements, fine tuned my diet (clean eating, more calcium rich foods, little sugar, zero alcohol, etc) and increased exercise. The next bone scan showed zero improvement and I was discouraged. I found AlgaeCal online and although expensive, the co, guarantees results or money back, so I ordered them. After six months of taking AlgaeCal Plus daily (with their strontium boost supplement most nights), my latest bone density test showed improvement in both hips and back. One hip improved by 17%!
My osteo. is reversing and I have moved down to osteopenia. I am hopeful, in 6 more months, I may reverse it completely. Putting this out there in hopes it helps someone. Good luck!

@maryellenb
So the supplement was all you did to improve? I maybe missed something?

@maryellenb Regarding taking high doses of strontium, you might be interested in this article that says, "When used in a high-dose supplemental form, strontium actually replaces calcium within your bones. Over time, this mineral substitution builds up and causes your DEXA scan results to appear artificially high. Strontium makes your bones appear dense, healthy and strong according to the DEXA x-ray machine — but in reality, your bones could be brittle, weak and malnourished.

The form of the mineral most frequently used in high-dose supplementation – strontium citrate – has never been approved by the FDA for treatment of osteoporosis, which means that there is no official FDA guidance on dosing, safety or long-term effects for strontium citrate in osteoporosis treatment."
