AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost

[KevMac]

Hi

I'm a 59 year old male that has just been diagnosed with ostoeporosis. Came as a bit of a shock as I've always been quite active.(rock climbing, mountaineering, mountain-biking etc)
However, I really don't like the sound of the normal medication so I was wondering if anyone out there had tried AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost to good effect.

I have taken Algaecal-stronium boost for over a year and I just had a bone density test.

Before I started Algaecla-Stronium boost my density reading was -2.6. This week I had a density test and it was -1.5.

Stop playing this advertising game. Barbara or whoever you are. This is my story.

I was lured into using Algaecal about two years ago. My bone density went from osteopenia to severe osteoporosis! I then found out that the calcium compound in Algaecal is calcium carbonate, the same junk found in Tums. I can't believe I fell for this crap. I emailed the Canadian company and realized that they don't have a clue about calcium. By the way, they claim and show a photo that they get the seaweed from a beach, or near the coast - how polluted this could be!

Alice, I would just like to correct you on some things regarding Algaecal. You can not acuse Barbara of advertising for algaecal, perhaps the product did not work for you, but I have found plenty of true success stories with algaecal. Have a look at their website, they do have actual testimonials and clinic evidence that the product works. You can download the entire study, and they even offer a guarantee that the product will work, so if you had tried algaecal like you say, then you must have been refunded as per the guarantee?

Also if you read the site, you will see that the algae that is the calcium is tested for toxins and pollutants etc... And it is not the same as calcium carbonate, in fact it was just certified organic by the USDA.

Do you know of any calcium carbonate that is certified organic?

I will continue to use algaecal plus because it works for me.

I read about K2 (my health shop had never heard of it when I asked them!!)in Nexus magazine and how it takes the calcium out of the arteries and puts it into bones where it belongs - however only K1 is in most calcium products which really doesn't do the same job at all... I am going to try AlgaeCal Plus and see how it goes. Suppposed to be good for the heart too - I was reading too that most most cancer patients have low calcium! Its not real cheap but I waste a lot of other money on rubbish, so why not.
