@grace1215 here is an article about DEXA scans and how taking strontium affects them.

I was told by the endocrinologist who I went to for osteoporosis that AlgaeCal is no better than taking calcium and vitamin D.

I am reading the book “Strong Women, Strong Bones” and I highly recommend it. It was recommended to my sister by her doctor.
You are lucky to still be able to get some control over this. Some of the recommended exercises cannot be done once you have osteoporosis because there is too much chance of a fracture.

Thank you!!!!

I have been using Algae Cal/Strontium for almost two years with no side effects. My next scan is in a month. My pain has lessened and I am hoping for the best. I also do resistance training and strength training. Hopefully all will be well. There are many ways to increase your muscle strength without forward bends or stressing the spine. Even walking with a hip weight can strengthen the muscles.
I do have several friends that went from Osteoporosis to osteopenia or better using only AlgaeCal and Strontium, so I am hopeful and will keep you posted.
