Anyone had experience with OsteoStrong, who is not a franchisee?

Hi Thisnthat,
I am wondering how long it took you to get your initial Marodyne? It says to figure about 6 weeks in the email I received . I haven’t ordered it yet as figuring out when to do that based on having some travel planned. Thanks!

Hi Ans,

Six weeks sounds about right, give or take a week. You pay in two parts: First half once the order is placed (to Germany where it is manufactured), and then the balance is due when the device arrives in Florida. There it is checked for any defects, along with all the other devices that have arrived in that shipment. That takes about a week. You will then be notified that your platform is being shipped via Fedex.

In my case, I was given an incorrect tracking number when they got me confused with another customer! Eventually it got straightened out, but it took about a week until my platform actually arrived from Florida.

My advice is probably wait until you have completed your travel
if there is any chance you might miss delivery. Shipping is quite expensive!

I would be careful with that. I am only going by my Drs .

After a year of Osteostrong, I had my bone density scan this month. First, let me say that I am 73 years old, 5’7” tall, and weigh 120 pounds. I have a small frame which heightens my risk for osteoporosis and my hormone replacement regimen stopped about 13 years ago.
I was diagnosed with osteopenia 2 years ago with T-scores of:
Spine -1.7
Rt hip -1.5
Lt hip -1.3
In the course of 2 years, my scores showed no change. I was hoping to see improvement after a year of Osteostrong, and expressed my disappointment to the radiologist. However, given that I am not taking any ‘bone building’ Rx, she pointed out that most likely, Osteostrong helped my maintain what I have. So, I plan to continue with it.

I do continue to take chewable calcium (1000 - 1500), and Vitamin D3 everyday, but I’ve had to reduce my walking routine from 20mi/week to 10-12mi/week due to osteoarthritis in my right hip. I am scheduled for hip replacement this summer.

Let’s keep on keeping on as best we can.

I’m 54 and I would be jumping for joy if my t-scores were as high as yours. My December 2022 DEXA lumbar spine t-score was -3.6. That was an improvement from my July 2021 DEXA scan results.

Are you taking vitamin K2 and or magnesium?

I as on a supplement regimen that had K2 blend with D3, and multivitamin/mineral capsules that had magnesium in it but my new primary care internist recommended that I cease taking the multivitamin/mineral capsule because she felt the dosages were too high.

Can you tell me what else you were doing to improve bone density along with OsteoStrong? Diet, exercise, etc?? Also, what are you doing now for your Osteoporosis? I appreciate your help. I am doing several things to avoid medication but not sure if they will help.

Hi Kathleen, Thank you for posting your experience. I really appreciate reading it. I am 63, my DEXA score in the lower spine is -4.5 ( I have just been found out! ) and I am trying to figure out what do, whether to join Ostrostrong or other alternative methodss, before taking the medicines that the Dr prescribed me (Alendronate). Would you possibly share the contact and name of the specialist you went to speak with in Massachusetts's? Thanksa millon, Francesca

I've been going to OsteoStrong since March 2022 and in Dec 2022 I had a bone density test 9 months after my previous test. I went to the same test place for better reliability. My worst osteoporosis is my AP Spine (L1-4) and it went from -3.2 to -2.7 an increase of 6.9%. My left hip went from -1.5 to -1.2 a decrease of 4%. My left Femoral Neck went from -2.1 to -1.8 an increase of 5.8%. I was ready to quit OsteoStrong because of the cost but will continue because it seems to be helping in two areas. No one seems to know why my left hip density decreased. During the past year I have also been taking calcium and A, D, and K. I'm 76 and was diagnosed with osteoporosis with my first dexa 10 years ago. A couple of years ago I took a medication (can't remember the name but it's one you take weekly) and two days later I could barely move my neck and walking was difficult for a week or so.

Have very poor dexa results, osteostrong in Launceston, appeared my one non drug recourse. Have been going for 2 months. Can find no studies on efficacy of spectrum equipment.
It’s expensive, it’s a two and a quarter hour drive there and then same back.

Does anyone have any experience with this?
