What supplements help Osteopenia, Osteoporosis?

Posted by grace1215 @grace1215, Feb 4, 2020

Hi, I am a new member here and wanted to find out if anyone has used AlgaeCal Plus & Strontium Citrate for Osteopenia? I have had this condition for 10 years now plus five years with Osteoarthritis of the hip which I am hoping will help not only my hip but the DEXA scan came up with Osteopenia scores.

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

Dear you, this was abt 10 years ago and they could not guarantee that you won’t get ‘more’ osteopenia or get it at all. I’m sure it’s good enough what you do right now. Exercising eating well. Unless you have had a fall and damages a vertebrae. Don’t know your age but ‘mature’ women have osteopenia, which is just a word! It’s normal. We can’t compare ourselves with with young women. If you haven’t hurt yourself and have osteoporosis, do what you are doing. Exercise and take Vit D3 50,000IU fortnightly and don’t worry.

Thank you,
50,000 IU of D3 isn’t usually taken daily unless really deficient.
I read Short term use is ok to bring it up then reduce dose.

I noticed that the guarantee is that the Boost produces 3 times the gain that is achieved with AlgaeCal plus alone. Three times nothing would still be nothing. I am exaggerating to make a point about what the guarantee really covers.

I’m looking at AlgaeCal Plus ingredients and I don’t see what the plus is!
The ingredients are pretty much the same as other calcium products.
I’m thinking of just taking their Strontium with my calcium instead.
And continue with their Collagen powder .
It’s the Strontium that’s the magic ingredient. I know the Dexa scans aren’t accurate taking strontium with the increased bone density readings but maybe there’s some truth in some increase . I don’t know, but willing to find out. What’s your thoughts?

Sorry, I obviously didn’t know what fortnightly is. Every 2 weeks!

However studies, testing strontium, show statistically lower fractures. Is Dexa the last word or is it just part of the whole picture. I’m interested in less fractures. Strontium is a natural substance in the soil.
It is prescribed as a prescription for osteoporosis in some countries, in the ranelate form.

have you had an MRI to be sure your cushion (in your hip joints) is in tact? I had osteoarthritis in my hips but the cushion had worn away. got my life back when I had them replaced 12 years ago.
