Have you looked into AlgaeCal as an osteoporosis treatment? Highly effective nutritional supplements with no long or short term side effects. There is a forum on FB The AlgaeCal Community, and lots of info at AlgaeCal.com. Users report very impressive results. Also see Dr. Lara Pizzorno's book, Your Bones. More information can only help you!

Send me a bottle and I'll give it a try.

AlgaeCal is not the best thing out there. ConsumerLab did not give them a passing grade because they still have too much lead in the medication and also does not contain as much magnesium as it says on the label. It is overpriced for what it is. Better to take boron, vitamin D3, vitamin K2 (mk4, mk7), and magnesium. If you need calcium, there are much better brands out there. Oyster shell is a good source of calcium. It is not expensive at all. ConsumerLab (if you don't know) is a consumer watchdog company that tests supplements to be sure they are what they say they are, they don't contain toxins, they are as strong as they say they are, and they open up in the body. Some pills just don't open up in the body and are therefore not absorbed. I had some turmeric that was like that once. At any rate, you can find ConsumerLab online - I have posted their information here many times. Membership is a little under $40 a year last time I checked. They have all the information on supplements and also hundreds if not thousands of peer-reviewed journal submissions discussing the merits and problems with various vitamins, minerals, etc. Well worth the money! AlgaeCal has been on their NOT APPROVED list for a couple years now. They took some of the lead out - but it still over the legal limit. Who wants lead in their calcium anyway?
