AlgaeCal did not agree w/me--gave me loose stools. I have no idea what ingredient was the culprit (type of magnesium? algae? filler?) So my criteria was to find a product that had the same/more amount of bone-supporting minerals in the ingredients. However, I did not want the product to include Calcium, Magnesium, D-3, K2-Mk7 or C, as I already take the amounts/types that work for me separately & I have the freedom to adjust when needed after lab results. I also took Strontium Citrate separately (VitaCost), as recommended.
The product that I found is LDA Trace Mineral complex by SFI Health (Amazon, but I think I found it for less thru FullScript $18 for 30 capsules). It requires only 1-capsule a day.
I had a dr scare me into starting the Evenity drug, so I plan to continue taking Strontium Citrate when the course of injections are over. I continue to take the trace minerals product daily.
Sorry if this is TMI, but thought it would be helpful to understand my decision-making process.
Blessings on your decision-journey!
@singingbones. hi, it sounds like you are approaching this with care…if you take AlgaeCalPlus or another good combo like New Chapter (among others), don’t start with the full dose…ease into it and there’s less chance of loose stools…start with 1 for a few days and work gradually from there…as i say in other notes i post, you might want to check out ConsumerLabs…some people opt for strontium or collagens…in the end, dedicated exercise (focused on your OP) and a healthy diet do the most good. Wishing you all the best !
