Has anyone been on AlgaeCal supplement?

Posted by klansford123 @klansford123, Sep 7, 2025

Hi, my Dr. recommended Algaecal supplement for my osteoarthritis because I don't want to go back on Fosamax. side effects include sarcoma of the jaw. Has anyone been on this supplement? results? It's pretty costly and my insurance won't cover it.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

@nycmusic Thanks for mentioning NewChapter, as I've never heard of it. I just checked out their website and will definitely be looking into their products more closely this weekend. I had been considering AlgaeCal and just haven't had the time to pursue other plant-based alternatives to support my bone health. I agree about the 3rd party testing -- to be 100% sure what we're putting into our bodies is safe. I was diagnosed with osteoporisis at age 65, in spring of 2025 - surprise, surprise! I'm grateful to find others on here, like you, who can lend advice, support and their personal stories. It can be a lonely road, otherwise . . .
