Hi, I used algaecal bone builder pack. After 2 years, my spine went from -3.2 to - 2.7. My hip went from osteoporosis to osteopinia.

@dulu if the bone builder pack contains strontium, you cannot trust those results, and perhaps you can ask the radiologist to adjust them. Strontium replaces calcium i the bones and is denser, so it throws off the DEXA scores.

@dulu I just ordered Algaecal bone builder pack this past weekend. I am praying for a positive outcome. I’ll check back.

Strontium is the primary mineral responsible for causing a falsely high or elevated bone density reading on a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan.Because strontium has an atomic weight nearly twice that of calcium, it absorbs much more X-ray radiation. When people take strontium supplements, the mineral replaces a small amount of calcium in the bone matrix. The DEXA machine interprets this increased X-ray absorption as a massive spike in calcium density, resulting in a falsely inflated T-score. Studies indicate that roughly 10% of the measured bone mineral density (BMD) increase can be an artifact of the strontium itself rather than a true physical gain in bone mass
