I also had had a compression fracture before starting AlgaeCal and Strontium. Five months after beginning them I had a horrendous fall on the cement slab outside my chicken coop--hurrying too fast. The edge of the slab split the tissue of my left forearm leaving bone visible. Ribs and shin were also hit. I was certain I'd broken something but the ER pics showed NO FRACTURES! I am crediting the strontium. I don't care if it causes some increase in DEXA values. I am certain it worked for me. And my last DEXA after being on them for 15 months was much improved even taking into account the strontium skew. Science is important--I'm a nurse. But my personal experience outweighs the lack of studies.
