Is there a supplement that really works?

Posted by debbik @debbik, Nov 14, 2024

I was diagnosed 6 years ago with osteoporosis. I thought I was doing everything possible to build bone density but my latest bone density showed it got worse by 6%. I am taking a supplement called ‘bone-up’ which is supposed to be natural and has StimuCal. I’m wondering if there are better supplements out there that really help? Has anyone seen positive bone density results? If so, I would love to know what you are taking and doing. By the way, I’m 65, and try to be fairly active. Thank you.

Which product of Now Foods are you taking to replace """""""Algae Cal? I see there is a store near me. Is it the one that is the Sea Vegetable?

Some people swear by algaecal but it was not enough for me. They have their own website and they have a nutritionist and other individuals to help.

Oh and I should have mentioned that the algaecal does include k 2, d, boron, vitamin c, magnesium and of course the calcium that's made from algae. I still use it even though I've been taking medicine for years because I do not react to that calcium as I do too all the other forms of calcium

You can use their nutritionist and other helpers and not continue to take it if you want.
