Reply above to @pianopain12 and @contentandwell I hope you get my reply KLH
@kilh Both AlgaeCal and Strontium tend to be controversial.
I have read that you can get all of the nutrients supplied by AlgaeCal just by buying them in any pharmacy and for less cost. That way too, you have control over what you are putting in your body - vitamin D, calcium, and protein are important and boron probably helps too. You can get boron naturally from prunes also. Bottom line is you really need to research this yourself to determine if it's right for you, and also check with your doctor.
Regarding Strontium, there is some indication that it makes your bones appear to be stronger in DEXA scans but it has just replaced the calcium in your bones and they are not as strong. I tried just now googling to find articles about it but there did not seem to be anything really definitive.
I take D3, boron, vitamin K2 (https://americanbonehealth.org/nutrition/vitamin-k2-plays-key-role-in-bone-health/)
and calcium if I have not gotten enough calcium in my diet that day. I track my nutrients.
Vitamin D needs to be taken with fatty foods,
More than a certain amount of calcium at one time cannot be used by your body so you need to take that when you are not getting a lot of other calcium. Calcium carbonate needs to be taken with food. Calcium citrate does not.

Thank you both for your reply. It helps to get input from other people and their experiences. It gives me more courage to try Tymlos again with 2 clicks. Maybe I will be able to work up to more clicks as time goes on. Keep in touch as to your progress it sure helps me. Stay healthy and well. KLH
