I have tried Algae Cal for 3 years and my bone density did not improve al all. In fact it got a little worse. I have been hearing more about K-2 and will be giving that a try.

@tmknight That's disappointing to hear and I'm so sorry it didn't give you results. I was going to consider taking it for a plant-based form of calcium.
Are you also exercising to increase muscle and stimulate bone growth, to further support your goals?
I am also taking Vitamin K-2 along with Vitamin D, to help direct any calcium to the bones and away from the arteries! I wish you all the best.

@tmknight Same with me. Looking for alternatives, especially since I read a new study that clams taking calcium can be a problem. I know Algae Cal claims a different type of calcium, but apparently all form of calcium supplements were associated with higher risk of heart issues in older women who had been on supplements . I have been doing weight bearing exercises and have always been very active with hiking and gardening. Frankly I was surprised that my Dexa showed osteoporosis. I don't think my daily dose of Synthroid helps either.
