Has anyone used the Marodyne device to stimulate bone growth?

I'm where you're at, Ans, I just purchased the Marodyne after considering if for several months. I do worry a bit that I'm allowing myself to be scammed because I'm so afraid to take pharmaceuticals for osteoporosis in my 50s. Even if it aids a bit in keeping scores steady it's worth it to me, compared to all the costs of a broken bone/s. I've changed my diet and am working with a personal trainer so even if scores do stay the same with next scan I would have no exact idea why. I hope there are more studies forthcoming on the Marodyne-LiV and on new treatments for osteoporosis.

You really should go back to the discussion by tschurch on the Marodyne as she gives very good information on her experience .

Has anyone had success with a vibration machine? If so, which machine would you recommend?

It seems the verdict is out on vibration therapy, yet I'm willing to add it to my routine. All things considered everything has risks. My opinion, Marodyne is unaffordable for many of us, but a safe choice. LIV vs a more intense machine is a choice depending on what you've read and decide what's for you. Since NASA has chosen ARED, (Advanced Resistive Exercise Device) I ordered the VT007 vibration machine bc of what I read on their site, and decided it's worth a try. 🤷‍♀️ The owner is hands on, the device is not fancy, very basic, affordable & the engineering seems sound. I need to improve in the hip area (-2.8) & hope to at least stabilize. My next DEXA/TBS will be in Jan24. I'll post my results, just hoping for just a little more help with it. Here's the site.

@rola You motivated me to research the VT007 at the company's website and I read through all the reviews. About 20 were osteoporosis related. I decided to buy it so thank you for the reference. My fem. neck is -2.7 so I'll be practicing the L-Squat on it (check the page at vibrationtherapeutic < dot> com < slash> vibration-plate-therapy-benefits < dot> html (PS - The automated editor didn't permit me to write the link easily so I was forced to write it the way I did)

Wow, that is very shocking! There is another person on this site who used hers for 2 years and was very disappointed that her DEXA results did not show improvement either. However, my understanding is that the Marodyne does not build cortical bone but improves bone quality, the inner trabecular bone. I have been hesitant in buying one because of the expense and because I haven't seen any convincing studies or reviews on its effectiveness especially if you are already exercising by doing strength training. However there is a clinical trial that was taking place at the Australian Bone Clinic where they are using the Marodyne with their Liftmor program but the data is not in yet. Also although Marodyne claims they developed the machine with NASA there is no indication that NASA has ever used it for their astronauts to prevent or improve bone loss. So I'm cautious. Thank you for your review and input.
