Trying to choose supplements carefully

Posted by jasperina @jasperina, Mar 5, 2024

I’m still working on getting a supplement regime going that makes sense. I’m wondering about algaecal - their website makes some pretty big claims. Anybody have verifiable results on algaecal?

Would anyone like to share what all you're taking, for what reason and did you see actual results?

No. I got the idea from 2 studies that used strontium citrate, an element, found in soil. The studies suggested, and has been my experience, that strontium with other micronutrients help bone density.
One study was from Canada the other from Duchesne University in the US.

I have read that strontium improves bone density but does not prevent fractures.

Two studies I read about strontium had less fractures. By the way, I think in New Zealand, but I’m not sure they’re using a different form of strontium ,as a prescription, for osteoporosis.

Hi, I’ve been getting my shots since November.

I have had no side effects. The endocrinologist says on the day I take the shot, and the following two days, to take 1000 mg tylenol and 500 extra of calcium.

Good luck. I hope you have no problems. As someone on this forum once said, often people only post when there are problems with a med or injection - no one posts when it doesn’t bother me, so just trying to do my part here 😊
