The Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis

Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis | Bone Remodeling Process | The Bottom Line | References

Pathophysiology, that’s a mouthful. But what does it mean? Simply, it’s the underlying cause(s) of a health condition — what went wrong, and why.

When it comes to your bones, the pathophysiology of osteoporosis involves many different causes. But they all affect the same thing: the natural balance of how your bones are built up and broken down.

In this article, you’ll discover some of the main culprits behind why this happens. You’ll get to peek inside your bones to see what’s at stake. You’ll also discover a natural way to replace lost bone… and then some!

But first, you need to know about bone remodeling.

What is Bone Remodeling?

Your skeleton isn’t simply a static framework to which your muscles are attached. Your bones are very much alive and active. In fact, 10% of your skeleton is removed and replaced each year(1) — so in 10 years, your entire skeleton will have created itself anew!

That’s called remodeling. Constant, balanced bone remodeling is essential for the maintenance of a healthy skeleton. Just like all cells in your body, your bone cells also get old and worn down, and need replacing. After all, your daily life puts great stress on your bones:

  • When you eat, every bite places pressure on your jawbones. 
  • When you work out, there are micro-damages to your bone. (It’s natural!)
  • When you go up or down the stairs, or just walk or jog, you create tiny cracks in your bones.

All this abuse on your bones requires a little TLC. So what determines the rate of bone remodeling? It’s the balance between two cell types, your osteoblasts and osteoclasts.

Osteoblasts: The cells that form new bone. 

Osteoclasts: The cells that break down (resorb) old, damaged bone. 

These cell types work together to remodel bone and maintain a healthy skeleton.

The Bone Remodeling Process

Remodeling begins when inflammation triggers the osteoclasts to wake up and get to work! Inflammation triggers osteoblasts to produce a protein called the RANK ligand (RANKL). When RANKL activates the RANK receptor on the precursor cells for osteoclasts, these osteoclast-hopefuls get the message that they are to develop into mature osteoclasts and remove worn out, damaged or infected bone.(2)

They start cleaning up areas where there are microfractures in the bone. They release enzymes, which dissolve those areas to remove the old minerals, and different enzymes to digest the organic components (like collagen).

The osteoclasts’ work is normally done in two weeks. And in the following two weeks, the osteoblasts prepare to go to work. Once they arrive on scene, they cover the excavated area with osteoid, a special protein that gets mineralized into new bone. 

Finally, after 13 weeks of this action, their job is complete! Just like remodeling a house, it takes a lot longer to rebuild than to break down bone. (Visions of Tom Hanks and Shelly Long in the movie The Money Pit come to mind. Warning: If you are in the middle of remodeling your home, you may find this movie too true to life to be funny.)

The osteoclasts and osteoblasts work together inside a temporary structure called the basic multicellular unit (BMU). Each BMU contains: 

  • A team of osteoclasts in the front 
  • A team of osteoblasts in the rear 
  • A central capillary/blood vessel 
  • A nerve supply 
  • Connective tissue 

In healthy human adults, 3–4 million BMUs are produced each year with roughly 1 million active at any one moment!

The average lifespan of the osteoclasts and osteoblasts working in tandem inside a healthy BMU is around three to six months. Meanwhile, the lifespan of the whole BMU structure is six to nine months. So, a continuous supply of new osteoclasts and osteoblasts is essential for the BMUs to keep making progress on the bone surface.

Peer Inside Your Bones

There are two basic components to bone, cortical (hard) bone and trabecular (spongy) bone. Think of it like M&M chocolates. The cortical bone is the hard outer shell, while the trabecular bone is the soft inside. 

Actually, trabecular bone is more like the inside of an Aero bar. It’s a meshwork of spongy tissue that makes up the inside of our vertebrae (the bones of the spine) and the ends of the long bones (like the hip). 

Trabecular bone’s structure is a honeycomb of interconnecting spaces containing bone marrow. This bone marrow is the source of the precursor bone cells that can grow up to become osteoblasts or osteoclasts.

During bone remodeling, the BMU travels through cortical bone, excavating and replacing a tunnel. Then when it reaches the spongy, trabecular bone, the BMU moves across the surface, excavating and replacing a trench.

Our bodies have no trouble producing osteoclasts. But our bone-building osteoblasts are a different story. Let’s look at how osteoporosis occurs and the most common culprits behind it.

What Causes Osteoporosis?

There are two main reasons, and many different culprits behind each:

#1 When the osteoclasts remove bone quicker than the osteoblasts can replace them. 

#2 When bone remodeling is inhibited or has ground to a halt.

The key to #1 is inflammation.

Virtually anything that promotes chronic inflammation promotes excessive bone removal.

That’s because inflammation triggers osteoclast production, and we certainly don’t have a deficiency of inflammation! Here are some of the top culprits:

There’s also a not-so-obvious part of the Standard American Diet (SAD), which promotes inflammation and that’s the omega 6:omega 3 ratio (8). You know that omega 3 fatty acids are good for you, as they’re powerful antiinflammatories. But you may not know that many omega 6 fatty acids are inflammatory. Some top sources of omega 6s are corn, soybeans, and some oils like canola and soybean. 

Unfortunately, much of the SAD is loaded with omega 6s, so the typical omega 6:omega 3 ratio can be upwards of  20:1. Meanwhile, research shows a healthy ratio should be anywhere around 1:1 to 4:1.

Now, cause #2 of osteoporosis (when bone remodeling is inhibited or has ground to a halt) is where things get tricky.

When osteoclast activity is prevented, old and damaged bone accumulates. And that gradually turns the bone fragile, increasing risk of fracture. On the other hand, when osteoblasts are deprived of the nutrients they need to lay down new bone, they won’t strengthen your bones either.

Bone remodeling is also blocked by antiresorptive drugs and monoclonal antibody drugs.

The antiresorptive drugs(9) poison osteoclasts, while monoclonal antibody drugs used to treat osteoporosis prevent them from even developing. Both types of drugs inhibit new bone formation because old or damaged bone must be removed before new bone can be laid down.

Now, it’s not just what we’re putting in our bones that affects their density. It’s what we aren’t putting in them!

Just as you can’t make a cake without eggs, flour, butter, and more, you can’t build bone without calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, boron, and a number of other trace minerals. And you need proper amounts of protein and collagen, too.

Bones are living tissue. And just like any other tissue in your body, they contain more than one ingredient.

The Bottom Line

The pathophysiology of osteoporosis stems from an imbalance between bone resorption by osteoclasts and bone formation by osteoblasts. Unfortunately, many factors in our modern lifestyles can disrupt this crucial balance. One of the top culprits is inflammation, which triggers osteoclasts to be chronically activated or blocks the osteoblasts’ ability to lay down new bone. 

Plus, if osteoblasts don’t receive the nutrition they need, that can also upset bone remodeling.

The solution is not to prevent all osteoclast activity, but to restore balanced bone remodeling. This is done by:

  1. Identify your inflammation triggers that promote excessive osteoclast activation. Then, control or eliminate them.
  2. Ensure your osteoblasts receive the proper nutrition they need to lay down new bone at a healthy rate.

    Osteoporosis sneaks up on you! At 40, healthy and fit, it wasn’t even a consideration. Here, at 70, the bone density comes back a -3.0! Start early, people! Thank goodness there is hope. I’ll be back to report on my AlgaeCal experience!

    Joy,

    You’re absolutely right – osteoporosis is commonly referred to as the silent disease because bones can slowly become porous and brittle without us even noticing! Please keep us updated on your progress and don’t hesitate to reach out as you continue on your AlgaeCal journey – we are eagerly awaiting your results and are always here as a resource for you!

    Wow! Wonderful information. The statement that old or damaged bone must be removed before newbone can be laid down, makes me wonder how bone meds or those types of products can be helpful. I thought they delayed the osteoclasts from getting rid of old bone. I could be wrong about that I will look into it. Thank you wonderful article so informative

    I will be 66 in 2 days; I had a DXA yesterday that classified me as a 65-year-old woman. I have no idea if this may have affected the way in which my numbers were calculated. I’ve had estrogen receptive breast cancer twice, and to have any hope of not dying soon, probably from brain cancer as my older sister did after her 2nd breast cancer diagnosis, I have to take medication that completely stops the small amount of estrogen that women continue to produce after menopause. I’ve been a vegetarian most of my life for moral reasons, but I’ve consumed close to a gallon of non-BGH 2% milk every day of my adult life and almost that much as a kid. I am aware of the dichotomy between being a vegetarian and drinking milk, both morally and ecologically. I use only olive oil, but I eat lentils fairly often, especially in the winter and I live in northern Vermont where that used to be at least 6-month, although global warming has reduced it to 4.5 to 5 months. I’ve always assumed that all the milk I’ve consumed has made me bullet-proof. I was wrong. My DXA scan showed that I’ve lost 4% of my bone density in the last 2 years! Unfortunately, my annual appointment with my oncologist was scheduled immediately following my DXA scan, so she hadn’t seen the results, and I have no clue what I’m supposed to do! I’m still in the midst of breast reconstruction surgery that began 7 months ago and due to every conceivable complication – to date, 2 very bad infections requiring in-hospital IV antibiotics, after which I developed necrotic tissue where both infections had been, and then in my “final” surgery 5 weeks ago, the procedure was somehow totally botched, hence the next “”final” surgery tomorrow – on my birthday! Yippee. As soon as I'm all healed up from my breast reconstruction (hopefully in about 6 weeks, barring further complications…) I then need to have surgery on both shoulders, as I have very bad arthritis and torn rotator cuffs, and a year ago my crumbling jagged-edged bones sliced through one proximal biceps tendon! Therefore, I haven't been allowed, or able, to lift anything heavier than a quart of milk for the past year, and won't be able to do so for at least another 6 months – and that's just from the breast surgery. I have no idea when I can at least start Physical Therapy after the shoulder surgeries, which will have to be done separately as I live alone and need at least one arm to be functional.
    So, while the article was extremely informative, in light of my apparent inability to do anything to increase my bone density, WHAT Am I Supposed to DO? (NOTE: I wrote this to enter the contest, but I've also sent it to my oncologist as I usually wouldn't see her for another year.)

    I’ve read in the past that people with O blood type are more likely to suffer from systemic inflammation. I’m O+ and was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine and a hip at 51 years old. I discovered I had a sensitivity to gluten and dairy in my mid-30’s, so veered away from the SAD diet many years ago. I also stopped eating any animal products a few years ago, as well as stopped drinking alcohol and soda. I focus on eating a whole food plant based diet, drink a lot of water, and exercise via walking and weights. If it’s true about the connection between blood type and inflammation, could it take longer to see an improvement with the AlgeaCal Bone Builder supplements despite my efforts at reducing inflammation?

  27. Kirby Johnson

    May 10, 2022 , 2:17 pm

    Julie,

    It’s undeniable there are many factors which can impact the rate at which you see positive improvement on DEXA scans. You’re doing so many things right, and it’s imperative to remain focused on what you can control. Whether or not blood type has an impact on inflammation, we guarantee measurable increases scan to scan for life while supplementing with our Bone Builder Pack, regardless of other circumstances. It’s certainly not a factor we’ve seen influence someone’s progress, but we understand that everyone is unique.

    Bone loss is a silent enemy that sneaks up before you even know it’s happening. I was diagnosed with osteoporosis several years back when I was quite younger, now 65. I started AlgaeCal and StrontiumBoost Supplementation about 4 years ago. I had a bone density test last year, and I was very pleased that I was no longer considered full osteoporosis. My bone loss had stopped and reversed. I then knew that the AlgaeCal and StrontiumBoost really worked. I tell people about AlgaeCal and StrontiumBoost and how it has helped me. Very happy!!

    Thanks for the informative article. My doctor was retiring and decided she wanted me to have a DEXA scan before she left practice. I just thought we were covering all the bases. Imagine my surprise when the results showed I have osteoporosis. For two months I tried one of prescription drugs that people normally take, and I had so much pain in my legs that it hurt to just walk normally, let alone exercise. I’m a very active person and decided that I just couldn’t live like that. I stopped taking the prescription meds and started researching alternatives. I’m so happy that I found AlgaeCal.

    I’m sure that inflammation is the main culprit for my osteopenia. I’ve had asthma since a toddler and have taken steroids for over 70 years, which is the other culprit. The article reinforced my refusal to take the medications doctors want us to take. This article explains how these so-called bone- building drugs are anything but that. Thanks for sharing info with us.

  87. Kirby Johnson

    May 11, 2022 , 2:38 pm

    zumkauf,

    Great question! There are a number of inflammatory marker tests available – you can speak with your doctor further to find the blood test most appropriate for you and steps you can take to naturally decrease your levels of inflammation. One such way is to supplement with omega 3 fatty acids, which are a tremendous way to support your bone health along with working to decrease levels of inflammation. You can always learn more about this on our blog HERE.

Sounds like there is a lot we can do to help ourselves both in the prevention and treatment of the disease. I waited till my osteopenia turned into osteoporosis before taking AlgaeCal Plus. I am very pleased with the results and looking forward to my dexa scan at the end of this year. Don’t wait like I did or wait for your Dr to tell you what to do. Be Proactive.

    As always, this article is quite informative. It really helps to “see” a picture of what’s happening normally with our bones. I think my big challenge now might be the ratio of Omega 3 and 6, as it is very confusing to me. I try to be as vegan/veggie as possible, so not inclined to take fish oil. I have used flax oil for years instead of butter on my steamed food, and wonder if that is enough or not. I also eat a lot of avocados.

    I started taking AlgaeCal 2 years ago after a chiropractor broke 6 vertebrae. Even though I told him I’m fragile (knew I had severe osteoporosis but refused the typical drugs knowing what that did to my mother.) A friend told me about AlgaeCal and I certainly had nothing to lose, and knowing it was from algae made me quite happy. Two years later, my DEXA scan shows a total of 17% bone density increase!! So I tell everyone about this product. I am very grateful.

    I have osteoporosis and have been working very hard on diet and exercise. After a pulmonary embolism I was prescribed daily aspirin and omeprazole. I recently found out that omeprazole blocks calcium absorption! I’m hoping this year with Algaecal and without the omeprazole I have a better report. Great information as there are many factors in osteoporosis.

    I was diagnosed with osteoporosis four years ago at age 63 after fracturing my pelvic bone in a bicycle crash – what a shock, especially since I am active and eat healthy foods! A friend recommended AlgaeCal – what a blessing!! My bone density is improving with each subsequent Dexa scan.

  145. Floy Hart Shuler

    May 10, 2022 , 11:54 am

    This article was so very informative. Using AlgaeCal after receiving a diagnoses of osteoporosis (a result of having to stay on a “chemo pill” following breast cancer) after 2 years I was down to one area of osteopenia. My doctor could not believe it. I am a true believer in this product.
    My husband is having trouble with his knees. Could AlgaeCal help with this inflammation?

    Floy,

    We’re so glad to know you’ve found a safe and natural approach to increase your bone density. While AlgaeCal is clinically supported to increase bone mineral density by providing all the bone-essential nutrients, your husband might find greater relief implementing some of the topics discussed in our blog article HERE. In addition to this, we’d recommend discussing his symptoms in detail with your doctor!

    Why didn’t we learn more about this in nursing school?!

  148. Jeanette Metzler

    May 10, 2022 , 12:00 pm

    What a clear concise explanation. I eat whole food plant based and know this has reduced inflammation. Yet never quite clear about how to get collagen without animal products. I’ve been on algae cal plus for about 9 months without taking the Strontium due to some reactions, but am easing this in.

So thankful for these educational articles and research that provide understanding and have helped me take an active role in rebuilding my bone density. I take every opportunity I get to share AlgaeCal info with friends.

    Some of this I “knew”, but didn’t really attend to until this read. Thank you. Understanding the two step process of new bone generation changes my commitment to better eating. I am connected to the damage I am doing to the osteoclasts and osteoblasts if I choose inflammatory foods. I don’t want to harm these cells!

    This article certainly expanded my knowledge of bone workings, which is much appreciated. I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, have been on AlgaeCal for 3 years now am working on getting my Scan checked, which is not easy, my Dr. took some persuading to put an order in and the Dexa clinic will not do them within 3 years of the first one. Am now waiting for an appointment with them.

    I am so glad I found AlgaeCal reading all the comments from women that have success, I encouraging. I just started AlgaeCal. I am 62 , run and was of and on doing yoga and weights. That has changed. I run, and now do weights and core work along with meltmethod a form of rolling bringing hydration back into the fascia. I have CPRSD, from a break in my left wrist. Not knowing, when I first got this 9 years ago. I lost body mass, I thought it was only muscle mass but it was not. Oct of this year I had surgery on my wrist to remove the botched surgery from 9 years ago my wrist broke during surgery. my surgeon was extremely worried about by bone health. I finally got a Dexa scan in April my numbers are not great -3.5 Lumbar Spine, Right Femoral Neck and total hip -2.7 Left 2.9. Research on the meds that were available to treat osteoporosis was terrifying! Lots of Prayers, I was guided to AlgaeCal. My PA agreed try this. I am going to see if we can get a scan again in a year. Praise be to God.

    Osteoporosis happens before you know it…you think you are doing everything right and then something like this happens. I am so glad I found AlgaeCal and I am counting on it rebuilding my bones as for so many others. I feel it is the only safe way from all that I’ve read . I have refused to take any of the drugs that Dr.’s recommended as I know they are just causing a domino affect in many that I have talked to. Thank you AlgaeCal for all the information and help too along this journey.

    I have read this article before, it is the reason I began using Algae Cal 6 months ago. When I finish a whole year of using your supplements my doctor has agreed to schedule another Dexa scan ( although I can tell she is skeptical). It is difficult to make a lot of changes all at once and todays reading reminded me to make some dietary changes that I had forgotten about. Thank you!

    I walk daily and have always tried to be thoughtful about what I eat. And yet I went for my bone density test and was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I have been told that I cannot repair the damage that has been done but I hope to stop it from getting any worse. Reading about how the osteoclasts and osteoblasts work together was quite interesting. I have been taking Algae Cal and Stronium Boost for about a year now and I go for my next bone density in February 2023. I am hoping that things have remained status quo.

    I learned that a healthy ratio of omega 6:omega 3 ratio should be anywhere around 1:1 to 4:1. good to know!

    I got lost in the technical information, but I appreciated the “bottom line.” I was hoping for more specifics about the 2 key items and what to do to improve on them.

    May 10, 2022 , 6:16 pm

    Very educational and easy to understand. I had never thought before of bone processing to understand the breakdown and buildup of the skeletal system. The article didn’t mention but I’ll assume there is no diagnostic test yet created to give people detailed info of their osteoclast and osteoblast status.

  245. Megan AlgaeCal

    May 12, 2022 , 2:57 pm

    Hi Cathy, thanks for your insightful comment!

    Testing for Bone Turnover Markers gives an indication of the balance between osteoclast and osteoblast and activity 🙂

    Hope this helps,

    The info on bone remodeling was very interesting. I also liked the info the the cortical and trabecular parts of the bone

  253. Lori

    May 10, 2022 , 6:48 pm

    I didn’t know the differences between Omega 6 and Omega 3. This was very informative. I now know what the healthy ratio should be.

  273. Leslee

    May 10, 2022 , 7:32 pm

    I think you have convinced me to stop taking my Prolia shots which have done nothing to increase my bone in over 2 yrs. I will concentrate on your product and good nutrition and proper exercise. Hopefully, that will help me reverse or slow down my bone destruction.

  274. Beth

    May 10, 2022 , 5:27 pm

    Yes, Leslee, I think you’ve certainly made the right decision! Just be cautious how you go about the change. Have you received guidance about ceasing from Admin at AlgaeCal. I do not know myself whether it needs to be handled in any specific manner, but many drugs need weaning if possible…….All the best to you, and so glad with your healthy decision! 💖

    I have never heard the term “bone remodeling” before. Your article explained what it is and how it works, which I understood, to a degree. I would need to, slowly, re-read the article to understand it completely.

  283. Kate Montgomery

    May 10, 2022 , 1:01 pm

    I didn’t know that some activities cause microfractures in my bones. I also didn’t know before reading the article that the omega ratio was so important. The writing style is easy to understand because step by step bone remodeling processes were explained clearly. Thanks – will forward to a relative that needs to know this information.

    I broke my arm at the tender age of 55, and learned I had osteopenia. This degraded into full-blown osteoporosis by age 62. I had started AlgaeCal right around that time. My last Dexa scan, at age 64, showed that I had reversed the osteoporosis to osteopenia, and I’m betting it continues to improve.

    I have been scrupulous in upping my strength training, eating very well, and never missing my daily double dose of AlgaeCal. I’m a fan for life.

  287. Wendy

    May 10, 2022 , 1:15 pm

    I understand more now about the bone building & “tear-down” process. It is complex.

  289. Patricia DF

    May 10, 2022 , 1:18 pm

    I have heard the statement that inflammation is the beginning of all disease processes, but I didn’t know that included osteoporosis. I eat very well, but I’m going to focus even more on nutrition and getting that Omega 3/Omega 6 balance healthier. I’m really trying to avoid going on harsh drugs. But I’ve only been on your products for five months so I don’t know yet if I’m improving. Can’t wait to find out.

  290. Mary

  291. Ellen Richter

    My Mom had really bad osteoporosis which took about 5″ off her height & gave her a stooped posture. She broke her wrist & her femur at various times & was on medication (which didn’t seem to help much). This article was very interesting & gives me some guidance going forward. Thank you!

  297. Dawn

    May 10, 2022 , 1:54 pm

    I found out I had Osteoporosis & Osteopenia after Radiation & Chemotherapy in 2019 at 49ys old. Started taking AlgaeCal and after only 6mo I gained 6% bone density back. So happy I’m getting back on track.

  298. Mary A Steinbrenner

    May 10, 2022 , 1:56 pm

    This article lays out the reason I do not want to begin Bisphophanate Infusions. The idea of preventing bone remodeling sounds like poisening my sytem and preventing healthy bone formation.

    May 10, 2022 , 2:01 pm

  305. Sheila Habib

    May 10, 2022 , 2:29 pm

    Thank you for a brief, but in depth explanation of bone remodeling/rebuilding. I had zero idea that inflammation and Omegas played a part. I recently quit my bone meds, and have a DEXA scan scheduled soon. I have a full box of AlgaeCal and Omega oil sitting here, ready to get started on what I hope will be my bone remodeling journey. I will be back to post my results in 6 – 7 months.

    May 10, 2022 , 3:07 pm

    In my opinion, a majority of our vibe issues are caused by our western diet content. The old saying”You are what you eat” couldn’t be more true! Making sure that you consume healthy foods including lots of vegetables and least greens and good-for-you proteins like beans and legumes is vital to it bone health and rejuvenation.

  316. Terry Mullens

    May 10, 2022 , 3:20 pm

    I knew bone was broken down and built up all the time but I didn’t know how. Your articles are very helpful! My Dr wants me to take a bone medication but I know it stops the bone regeneration process. Yikes! I’d rather build up my bones the natural way.

    You can’t build bone health without-
    calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, boron, and a number of other trace minerals. And you need proper amounts of protein and collagen, too.

  342. Toffee

    so what happens after inhibiting osteoclast with bone meds for 5 years? How does AlgaeCal salvage that?

  343. Kirby Johnson

    May 13, 2022 , 11:22 am

    Toffee,

    Even after experiencing significant bone loss, AlgaeCal is clinically supported to naturally increase bone mineral density. Providing your body with all the bone-essential nutrients in AlgaeCal works to rebalance your body’s natural bone-remodeling process. You can learn more about this on our blog HERE. And if you have any interest in reading about our 3 human clinical studies, you’re always welcome to explore the results HERE.

  350. Kirby Johnson

    May 13, 2022 , 8:09 am

    Paula,

    Doctors will often prescribe medications in an effort to help you manage distressing symptoms. In such situations, bone health can sometimes unintentionally take a back seat to the immediate pressing issue the drug is treating. A conversation worth having with your doctor, is to highlight your concern about your bone health before agreeing to any prescribed medication. When you’re both on the same page, you can work together towards a solution that doesn’t harm your bone <3

    Based on the multitude of exposures that we have in our daily lives to bone depleting contaminants, it almost seems impossible to control the development of these conditions. This article reinforces the concept that we need to continually seek out mechanisms to reduce environmental exposures that cause these problems and live in ways that are more in tune with the natural environment.

  366. Chelsea Dugas

    May 12, 2022 , 1:33 pm

    Hi, Dee! Did you know that blood calcium levels are often not directly related to how much calcium you consume? Furthermore, a reading of blood calcium does not indicate how much calcium is in your bones, or whether you’re losing calcium at an abnormal rate. Your bones contain almost all of your body’s calcium whereas only a very small amount (about 1%) is in your blood, and your parathyroid glands tightly regulate this when functioning normally. If you haven’t already, we’d recommend speaking with your doctor about what might be causing your high blood calcium levels. We also have an article explaining possible causes HERE. Hope this helps!

    May 11, 2022 , 7:34 am

    I always thought my nutrition was on tract for healthy bones plus I exercised using weights and walking. At 50 I asked my doctor to get me a Dexascan and he insisted that my bones were healthy. It took me 3 years to get him to order the scan only to find out that I had osteoporosis throughout my upper skeletal structure. My doctor immediately fired me as a patient and left me stranded. The doctor that came after him put me on conventional drugs plus eventually on bone medication. Well, I developed brittle bone and fractured my left thigh at the hip. Surgery. I found Algae Cal and am now rebuilding my bones, all except at my lower back which is getting worse. Any suggestions?

  386. Chelsea Dugas

    May 12, 2022 , 1:08 pm

We definitely want to work with you to better understand your results – please contact our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184, 7 days a week, or email us at [email protected] to set up a time to go over your information with a member of our DEXA team.

  392. 2matthews

    May 11, 2022 , 8:32 am

    How can this information/research be made more evident to the current medical model? If so, I’d not need to advocate for my choice to use natural support for rebuilding bone.

  393. Chelsea Dugas

    May 12, 2022 , 1:05 pm

    This is a great question, Melanie. The truth is that many doctors are less familiar with natural products and may not be aware of the options available. It’s typically not covered in their education and it can be extremely difficult to keep up with the flood of new studies being reported in published journals. That said, many doctors who have seen their patients’ improvements first-hand have now started to recommend AlgaeCal! Slowly but surely, people are getting informed, and the results people are seeing in their DEXA scans are irrefutable. It can be frustrating now, but if it may help, HERE is a handy information sheet on AlgaeCal you can provide at your next visit to your doctor in case you wish to discuss taking it with them. Hope this helps!

    After reading all the data presented which I must say puts me on “operation overload”in understanding causes and effect on my bones I have come to the conclusion that my taking AlgaeCal puts me on the right path to better bones. In the 2 1/2 years I’ve been taking it my DEXA Scan supports the science that AlgaeCal works.

    The stats on the drugs the medical community pushes have never been good. (I’ve been reading about these drugs in medical journals since about 2002.) Seems crazy that they haven’t developed something that will actually help. But in the meantime, Yay! for AlgaeCal!

    I would love to start taking these. I had a total hysterectomy at 35 and have had osteoporosis for many years now. My PCP wants me to take the drugs offered for this but I won’t take them. I do need to do something.

  405. Betty Nigoff

    May 11, 2022 , 12:17 pm

    So, inflammation causes bone loss? But prednisone, which is often prescribed for some inflammation, also causes bone to lose substance. So what can be substituted for prednisone that won’t hurt bones?

  406. Chelsea Dugas

    May 12, 2022 , 12:27 pm

    That is a great question, Betty! In this case, we’d recommend speaking with your doctor to see if there are alternatives for you. That said, AlgaeCal will help lessen the bone-harming effects of this medication. We wouldn’t expect any interactions between the two, but always recommend confirming medication/supplement schedules with a pharmacist or doctor. If you’d like to learn more about how this medication affects bone health, we have a blog article HERE.

    Sorry to hear you’re experiencing this, Mimi. AlgaeCal has been studied specifically for improving bone mineral density and not body pain. That said, many customers report pain relief with AlgaeCal, though this is an individualized response and may not be the case for everyone. You may benefit from our product called Triple Power Fish Oil – this potent combination of omega-3s, turmeric, and astaxanthin is a powerful natural pain reliever.

    May 12, 2022 , 7:26 am

    Susan,

    We’re so sorry to hear of your diagnosis <3 There are a number of inflammatory marker tests available – you can speak with your doctor further to find the blood test most appropriate for you and steps you can take to naturally decrease your levels of inflammation. One such way is to supplement with omega 3 fatty acids, which are a tremendous way to support your bone health along with working to decrease levels of inflammation. You can always learn more about this on our blog HERE.

    This article was interesting. I had a misconception of how we rebuild bone. I found it interesting that our skeleton can replace itself within 10 yrs.

Thank you for explaining the Pathophysiology of Osteoporosis.

    Walk 5+ miles a day at 15 min/mile pace and starting light weight training. Praying all of this works to take me from Osteopenia to normal bone in the next few years!

    It all sounds so simple and straightforward but it’s tough to know what inflammation is going on in the body and what is causing it (plastics, pollutants, diet, hormones, stress..), the list is endless and this is the toughest challenge to understand.

    May 14, 2022 , 12:40 pm

    Just wonder why the medical professionals that read my DEXA and try to coax me into taking Fosamax, etc, don’t educated themselves about Osteoclasts and Osteroblasts. My bones have been slightly, but steadily improving over the many years I’ve been taking AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost. But no one is interested (and I even print out AlgaeCal info for them to read) in educating themselves about this.

    Pictures were worth a thousand words. To see is to fully understand. Having my medical doctor prescribing that I begin taking bone meds and my periodontist and dentist both warning against I’ve been searching for answers. When you understand the use of this drug in relation to how it hardens the cortical bone with risk of femoral breaks and starves the jaw bone first as to its blood supply, the health of the trabecular bone shouldn’t be left out of the equation.

    That certainly explains the difference between Osteoblasts’ and Osteoclasts .

    The inflammatory aspect of osteoporosis was interesting. I am interested in knowing what role genetics plays in this disease.

  592. Kirby Johnson

    May 19, 2022 , 11:29 am

    J Kramer,

    Genetics is undoubtedly a major factor when it comes to predicting bone health as we age – but there’s nothing we can do about that! Doctors and many sources online can speak more on this, but it’s important for us at AlgaeCal to speak about practical steps you can take to preserve and rebuild your bones. You can read more about the causes (you can actually do something about!) on our blog HERE. Please be sure to let us know if you have any other questions <3

    Wow…there is a lot of information here to understand. This is a great article. I think I will need to go back and read it again. If only the doctors would help us more to identify what is causing our inflammation. I hope that I am on the right path to building back my bones.

  598. Virginia Waterstreet

    May 14, 2022 , 9:01 pm

    I found this article to be so interesting and enlightening. I didn’t realize that inflammation has so much to do with osteoporosis. I also didn’t realize that just like muscle, bone needs to be broken down in order to rebuild. I’m wondering where hormonal imbalance fits into the picture, though. Is it #1 or #2 reason?

  599. Kirby Johnson

    May 19, 2022 , 11:25 am

    Virginia,

    Hormonal imbalance is a major factor when it comes to bone health and primarily influences the natural bone remodeling process (#2). AlgaeCal wrote a number of articles detailing the impact this plays; you might be interested in reading more HERE and HERE. Please don’t hesitate to let us know if any other questions come up!

    ‘Identify your inflammation triggers’, that the key point here and not something I’ve been focusing on until recently. In addition to low bone density I’ve come to realize there are so many other negative consequences stemming from inflammation that are effecting my wellness & longevity plan. I’m onto it.

  601. Kirby Johnson

    May 19, 2022 , 11:52 am

    Jenina,

    It’s a big one – and easier said than done! While there are many factors to consider when it comes to inflammation, a helpful practice can be ensuring that you get enough omega 3 fatty acids. If you have any interest, you can read about why omega 3 fatty acids are crucial for healthy bones HERE. We also wrote a detailed article discussing adequate intake needs HERE.

    and Osteoclasts are cells that break down old damaged bone.
    These cells work together to Remodel bone.

    Patricia,

    Thank you so much for reaching out with your questions. Because you mentioned that you suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, you might be interested in reading our detailed article discussing some natural remedies which may provide relief HERE. While every individual is unique, we guarantee measurable bone mineral density increases within 6 months while supplementing with our Bone Builder Pack. We generally advise supplementing with both of these supplements until you return to a healthy bone density, which will vary in length based on the severity of the bone loss you’ve experienced.

    After returning to a normal bone density, we generally recommend discontinuing Strontium Boost while continuing to take AlgaeCal Plus in order to maintain bone health. Our bones will always need adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals for proper maintenance; the essential nutrients found in AlgaeCal Plus are a wonderful long-term maintenance plan. You can always discuss this topic further with one of our knowledgeable Bone Health Consultants by calling us at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) 7 days a week 💚

    Incredibly useful article. Many people seem to think that just taking a multi-vitamin pill is an answer to a poor diet. Proper nutrition including a balance of protein, carbs and green vegetables is critical as are minerals in order to ensure absorption of vitamins. The amount of nutrition training given to doctors in the UK has been very small and this has been highlighted by the British Medical journal in May 2020.

    This article explains what happens in osteoporosis so clearly i.e. the action of osteoclasts and then the difficulties with osteoblasts not being able to work as they should due to various factors including inflammation. And in our modern day lives it is so difficult to avoid the things that cause inflammation. It means that those of us with osteoporosis have to work twice as hard at diet, exercise, obtaining fresh water and air etc. I feel that all young women should be educated in the above so that they have a chance of avoiding osteoporosis and not having to be treated for it!

  668. Terry LeChien

    May 15, 2022 , 6:42 am

    I’m going to send this info to my Oncologist. I recently had my DEXA test, which came back better numbers then last year, however the Bone Specialist said that because I was on strontium, it falsely showed improvement. She said they had NO data showing this had any benefits. She suggested I stop taking it, which I haven’t.

  669. Kirby Johnson

    May 19, 2022 , 2:10 pm

    Terry,

    Congratulations on your increases! While there is evidence strontium can overestimate bone density increases, it only accounts for approximately 8-11% of any reported increase and strontium will never report a false positive on DEXA reports. When we review DEXA scans with our customers we always take this into consideration in order to be transparent as possible. We have a very informative article discussing accurate calculations HERE.

    Strontium is the only mineral in our bones that both lowers the rate of bone resorption and promotes the rate at which new bone is built by increasing osteoblast production. Strontium has even been shown to reduce fracture risk independent of bone density! We’re happy to share with you the latest research on our blog HERE.

    We hope this information gives you peace of mind, Terry. If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know because we’re always happy to help! Feel free to reach out to any our Bone Health Consultants, available 7 days a week at 1-877-785-6580 (USA & Canada toll-free) <3

    Thank you for the clear explanation of how the osteoblasts build and form new bone after the osteoclasts have removed old decayed bone that needs to be removed. It is a dance and a fine tuned balance. Harder to figure out for myself how to prevent all the inflammation that overpowers the rebuilding of new bone needed to have really healthy bones.

    If you have a condition which doesn’t allow you to supplement with liquid omegas, we’d recommend finding the product that’s right for you. Generally, this means collaborating with your doctor, as they’re more familiar with your health history. Our guide on how to choose the best supplement should be a great starting place!

    An excellent article using simple to understand explanations of the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. The osteoclast/osteoblast relationship is what had me chose Algae Cal over prescription drug treatment. For me, the information in the article on the desired omega 3/omega 6 ratio was new and informative.

    This is an interesting article with alot of important information about the underlying causes of osteoporosis, and the bone remodeling process.

    Very informative article. Had not realized that inflammation was such a large factor. Have had low bone density since I was in high school. So, have often wondered if there was some malfunction in my system, perhaps with my kidneys or adrenals that would exacerbate the problem. Do know that taking AlgaeCal for two years did result in an increase in my bone density.

  754. Kirby Johnson

    May 20, 2022 , 11:21 am

    Gillian,

    Inflammatory triggers tend to vary between individuals and it’s best to collaborate with a certified professional to properly identify any which may be impacting you. They’ll likely use a combination of elimination/re-introduction tactics, and it’s always recommended to undergo this process under the direction and supervision of a qualified physician. Sorry we couldn’t be more helpful! You can always find healthy recipes to continue further your bone-health efforts on our blog HERE.

    I have been taking AlgaeCal Plus for over a year now. I wasn’t diagnosed with osteoporosis at first but had two fractures, my wrist on Jan, 2020 and tibial plateau Oct 2020. So I started researching and found you guys. Your produce made so much sense so I ordered. Then while recovering and weight bearing with crutches, they took me down and I fractured my hip and had to have surgery, Mar 2021. At this point I was red flagged and the osteoporosis team was alerted. They tested my vitamin D and calcium and of course they were good because I was taking your product for awhile then. They also sent me for a bone density and recommended some drugs or shots but I declined as I was doing the AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost. Plus I read the side effects of what they recommended. It has been a hard couple of years but back up and walking now and getting stronger every day. This was great information, I love the support you give.

    You can lose bone and regain bone, but if inflammation is present, it stops rebuilding bone. That is when osteoporosis will be your problem.
    I did learn a lot about what foods to eat and the ones to avoid. This was a very good article

  805. Anne Walker

    May 16, 2022 , 7:03 pm

    This was a very informative article and I am glad I read it. I have a few questions about inflammatory triggers. Does ibuprofen help decrease inflammatory process?

  806. Chelsea Dugas

    May 18, 2022 , 11:41 am

    Good question, Anne. According to several studies, Ibuprofen, along with other NSAID drugs actually slow the resolution of inflammation. Aspirin, however, is the only one that does not interfere with or prevent the resolution of inflammation, in fact, it supports it. If you’re interested, HERE is an article on our top five natural remedies for inflammation. Hope this helps!

    I suffered from a terrible reaction to a Reclast infusion in November 2009. I am wondering how long the drug interferes with my osteoblast and osteoclast balance?

  818. Chelsea Dugas

    May 18, 2022 , 12:09 pm

    So sorry to hear you experienced this, Shelley. Your question is a difficult one. Every individual is different, so it’s hard to say exactly how long the side effects last. On average, studies have shown that when a bisphosphonate was taken for 1-5 years, bone remodelling was affected typically for 1-3 years. When the bisphosphonate was taken for 10 years, the effects on bone remodelling were seen for 3-5 years. If you only had that one infusion in 2009, then not a large amount will have become embedded in your bones, and that’s a good thing! Hope this helps!

    I think a five pronged approach is the best way to deal with Osteoporosis.
    Food SleepBrain GymExercise Relationships In 2016 I started playing table tennis twice a week after hearing a programme by Angela Rippon  about how Table Tennis is, after walking, the best protection for the brain (ongoing) although now on the computer using Nintendo.  In December 2017 I started working with a Functional Medical Practitioner and started Intermittent Fasting and taking supplements (ongoing).In May 2018 I worked the Energy BluePrint a programme that involves resetting the Circadian Rhythm to improve the quality of my sleep (ongoing).In March 2020 started working with my current Functional Medical Practitioner and Nutritionist. She told me about AlgeaCal which I started in  March 2021 ( ongoing). In March  2020 started working with a US chiropractor Dr. Yoni Whitton to strengthen my skeleton using a vibration plate (ongoing).I regularly participate in Brain Gym in the programme Protect Study set up by Kings College for the prevention of Alzheimer’s.

    Lots of information in this article. I thought I had a good understanding of osteoclasts and osteoblasts. This article allowed me to learn that old and damaged bone must be removed before new bone can be laid down and that inflammation triggers osteoclast production.

    I learned it a very big ‘why’ I don’t want to take a monoclonal antibody, such as certain bone medications.
    Part of its mode of action is to prevent or slow down the osteoclasts… why do I want to hang on to old bone especially if it keeps the osteoblasts from working.

    Good question, Karen! When it comes to bone health, managing inflammation is very important. Active EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids are a powerhouse duo when it comes to fighting inflammation, and only fish oil contains the active form. For more detailed information on this, be sure to read THIS fascinating article.

    Elizabeth,

    Great questions! You can read more about boron and its impact on bone health HERE. Research has shown that boron’s beneficial effects appear at intakes of 3 mg of boron per day. It’s always best to discuss supplementation and daily doses further with your doctor to find the right approach for your health goals and history.

    Turmeric can be a useful tool when it comes to managing inflammation. In fact, we provide a detailed analysis on a variety of anti-inflammatory foods on our blog which you might enjoy reading HERE (#5).

    I now have a bigger understanding of what happens to our bones. Inflammation is one cause why osteoclasts sometimes causes over activation so we lose bone and the osteoblasts can’t make more bone fast enough when this happens. Our diet has a lot to do with bone health, also our environment play a part too.

    Now I understand more about osteoclasts and osteoblasts in the bone processing even when we get old and our daily diet and activities affect very much on our bones!

    MaryJane,

    That’s a wonderful question! Prioritizing your health through whole foods is a tremendous way to naturally support your bone health – not to mention your overall health! We’d suggest utilizing the information found on our blog HERE to collaborate with a nutritionist to develop a personalized nutrition plan which will prioritize your bone-health goals. Hope this helps!

    AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost have been God-sends for me! After first being disgnosed with osteoporosis 20+ years ago, I blindly followed doctor’s admonitions to take calcium for the rest of my life! Little did I know what the mainstream calcium consisted of! After the passing of my husband, I decided it was time for me! (Plus, I’d lost 3 1/2″ in height!) … and at the age of 71 I began taking ACP and SB … after taking about 15 months, my dexa scan revealed the BMD of my Lumbar Spine INCREASED 20.9% !! And my Left Hip INCREASED by 17.2% !! I still have quite a way to go in my journey. But all I can say is Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! and God bless you for what you’re doing!

    May 22, 2022 , 2:05 am

    This article is very interesting and reinforces the information I already read in 2017/2018.
    I started to take care of my body better since 2004, 2005, 2006 and on.
    Another point interesting is the inflammation that I felt a lot around my body.
    The reading references are very important as well, and I will try to read them all
    to understand my case better and the new Rheumatologist I will see shortly.
    The TCL are the key words to my body. This is the reason until now I did not take bisphosphate medicines.
    My worry is: my osteoporosis problem is growing every time I did the dexa, but the solutions
    did not work very well to me since 2017 up to 2021. I have a tinny light at the end of the dark tunnel of my osteoporosis when I took the 6 months tablets of algaecal and strontium citrate together with Marine Collagen with almost all amino acids. It did this natural treatment from October 2021 up to April 2022.
    But I am still very afraid and insecure of long-term treatment even
    if it is natural, because of my past medical and family history.

    What a great description on Remodeling of bone. I didn’t know how that was happening. I work with a denturist and have always been curious about bone resorption that happens when teeth get extracted. It’s amazing how much bone is lost. Do you know, if people were taking calcium “like yours” would bone resorption still happen? Just wondering.

  975. Kirby Johnson

    June 14, 2022 , 9:36 am

    Rose,

    Generally, bone resorption isn’t seen when supplementing with AlgaeCal. Our natural and clinically supported calcium supplement is a wonderful long-term option for supporting your bone health because results from a recent 7-year study showed extraordinary safety via a panel of 45 blood chemistries and zero reported side effects. If you have any further interest, you can read about this in greater detail on our blog HERE. However, this hasn’t been analyzed in relationship to a major surgery or extraction. It’s likely we would need to conduct further research in order to provide a more definitive answer to your concern. Hope this helps!

    No doubt genetics and family history have a significant impact on bone health. We currently don’t have any information regarding this particular gene sequence, but we’ll keep our eye out for any scientific literature that comes out!

  1017. Kirby Johnson

    May 27, 2022 , 3:07 pm

    Rebecca,

    Thank you for letting us walk with you on your bone-health journey and for reaching out with your questions <3 For those who've experienced significant bone loss who are successfully supplementing with Strontium Boost, we generally don't advise discontinuing its use until you've returned to a normal bone mineral density. This is because strontium is the only mineral in our bones that both lowers the rate of bone resorption and promotes the rate at which new bone is built - you can read more about this on our BLOG.

    We would expect a slower rate of bone density increases if you should choose to supplement with AlgaeCal Plus alone (according to our clinical studies, taking AlgaeCal Plus alone reported an average 1.3% annual increase in bone mineral density while adding Strontium Boost tripled that rate). If you’d like to discuss this topic in greater detail, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Bone Health Consultants by calling us at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free) or sending us an email at support@algaecal 🙂

    Thank you for this information. Of course knowledge is power and I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis and knew nothing about the breakdown and rebuilding of bone, and that inflammation contributes to osteoporosis.
    With this newly acquired knowledge I can make informed decisions about a more natural treatment than the drugs that Medicare pays for
    treating osteoporosis.

    I appreciate the in-depth science associated with Algae-Cal. Shared the info with my GYN yesterday. She’s still pushing bone meds, even though it has the same side effects as Bisphosphenate. She listened to the drug rep instead of reading for herself. I’m not falling for it. Sticking with Algae-Cal!

    I never saw this coming. My folks made sure we had plenty of milk and cheese when we were growing up. Both my brother and I were physically fit and athletic. A couple years ago my NP suggested a scan – I was so surprised when she said I’d started losing bone. After this past scan there was a little more reduction in bone in my right hip; that’s when I started looking at bone replacement therapy. I was terrified by information on bone meds, but was happy to find this alternative. I’m hoping AlgaeCal will be the answer. My NP promised I would get my next DexaScan next year after one year on AlgaeCal to see if there were good results. To tell the truth the expense of this is waying us down; but if it stops bone loss I’ll be happy.

    Good question, Penny. AlgaeCal is not contraindicated with bone medications and provides the vitamins and minerals that are needed for healthy bones. Many of our clients have still reaped the many benefits of AlgaeCal while taking bone medications. If you would like to review this with your doctor, we suggest bringing THIS information sheet to your next appointment.

    We’re sorry to hear you haven’t been seeing the results you were hoping for, Mary. However, over the age of 40, we lose 1% of bone mass on average each year, therefore it seems that AlgaeCal has been keeping your levels stable!

    Learning more and more about inflammation and how hard it is on our bodies. Never dreamed how it effects our bones also.
    Learned something new that our bones rebuild themselves, if I remember correctly every 10 years. Thought I had the exact same bones all my life. Very informative article. An inflammation not mentioned in this article but I have been studying on another site is how not getting a good night’s sleep of 8 or 7 hours is an inflammation cause. It’s a wonder I have any bones left.

Thank you AlgaeCal for your research and eye-opening revelations.

    It is important to know what destroys bone and what builds bone. Osteoblasts and osteoclasts work together to eventually create new bone. It is important to know the difference between Omega 6 and Omega 3. Omega 6 promotes inflammation and Omega 3 reduces inflammation. We must know what foods to eat to promote strong bones and what foods will inhibit bone growth. AlgaeCal and Triple Power Omega 3 Fish Oil work well together to keep bones strong and inflammation weakened.

    I had read about the osteoblasts and osteoclasts and their function in Lara’s books. I’m always amazed at how complex our bodies are created to function. I am trying to build bone and prevent cancer recurrence at the same time. This isn’t easy because the cancer drugs can affect bone density loss. With pharmaceuticals I always feel like you have to “pick your poison”. I’m glad I have AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost to help me try to help my bones, and educate myself by reading all the articles, books, links, etc. that are so helpful. I’m hoping my bones improve in spite of the medication they currently have me on. I said no to the bone-pharmaceuticals. Thank you for all the educational info here, on the FaceBook page, and in the newsletters and books.

    This was so informative and osteoporosis was something I did not understood. Even after being diagnosed with it, I really did not have a good knowledge base or a picture of what it actually looks like. I need to re-read it a few more times to absorb all the information but its written in clear understanble terms. I choose Algae Cal orginally because it made sense to me that it was advertised as an all natural product that would help my absorption of calcium.

    I am wondering if the “remodeling” is happening if I have multiple myeloma

  1228. Chelsea Dugas

    June 15, 2022 , 7:41 am

    That’s a great question, Stefania. Lara Pizzorno, our resident bone health expert in our AlgaeCal Facebook Community, had this to say about multiple myeloma and the bone-remodelling process: “Multiple myeloma is a hematological malignancy that causes severe osteolytic bone loss and suppression of osteoblastic new bone formation. The research I was able to find reports that “stimulation of osteoblast activity inhibits multiple myeloma growth.” click HERE to read more on that research.
    And that is what strontium does — it boosts bone renewal through several mechanisms that increase osteoblast activity.
    The PubMed link above is to a paper looking at the use of bone anabolic treatments in breast cancer that has metastasized to the skeleton — you might ask your doctor to take a look at it.
    And HERE is a link to an #AskLara in which I summarize the key mechanisms via which strontium helps boost bone renewal.”
    Hope this helps to shed some light on your questions!

    There is so much information in this article it is absolutely overwhelming! But, it does give me a picture of the bone remodeling process, which amazingly takes 13 weeks to complete! I liked the analogy of remodeling a home, describing it as more time consuming to rebuild what you have torn down.

  1233. Jeannie Spillane

    May 26, 2022 , 12:22 pm

    This is good information that inflammation is a big cause of excessive osteoclast activation. I think
    every doctor should add tests for CRP (C reactive protein) with bloodwork. And insurance should cover the test! Then you can get an idea how bad your inflammation is.

I would love some one to help me do all the right things. I shouldn’t eat nuts and change my toothpaste I do have an Ionic foot bath to help remove the metals. ill get on that more often I am doing a lot of things wrong I always for get to take the stronium boost in the evening I even set an alarm but it failed me. I am going o put a big sign up next to remind me. I love my fish and salads. I will not try better i am going to do better.

    Very concise and scientific view on how to address bone health throughout life. It is definitely key to ensure both aspects are covered: on the one hand, the specific triggers that might be draining bones overtime in each person, addressing the cause of that loss. On the other, to ensure adequate nutrition throughout life, and boosting building blocks/nutrients specific to boost bone metabolism.

    Is age and menopause a factor for women even if you eat a proper diet and exercise?

  1280. Chelsea Dugas

    June 7, 2022 , 1:37 pm

    Such a good question, Donna. Yes, age and menopause are still a big factor, as our hormones impact our bone health as well. HERE is another article which goes into greater detail on this if you’re interested. 🙂

    This about pathophysiology of osteoporosis gives great information about the building and remodeling of our bones and explains that they are living body structure. Those osteoclasts and osteoblasts need to be nurtured! I learned that inflammation in the body leads to osteoclast production, which means the bones are torn down. There are a number of triggers for inflammation in our bodies, among them eating a diet high in Omega 6 oils. Plenty of Omega 6 is found in the SAD. Our osteoblasts, bone builders, require a proper diet high in important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, boron, and vitamins D3 and K2.

    For a man, 40s, t-scores over -5, living in the tropics lots of sun, eating lots of greens and plant-based alkaline diet, seems odd to have such high levels of osteoporosis. Can reversal exist if levels of -5 or -6, someone in their 60s? Also, Is it best to get K2 from Natto?

  1328. Chelsea Dugas

    June 15, 2022 , 8:24 am

    Hi, Joe! There are so many factors involved when it comes to bone loss, so it’s not always easy to pinpoint which of them are the big culprits. We have seen thousands of men and women, over the years, with varying degrees of bone loss, see incredible increases with AlgaeCal! If you’re interested, you can view some of their inspiring and diverse stories HERE.
    Natto is definitely the highest natural source of K2 you can find if you can find it! Otherwise, AlgaeCal Plus delivers a daily dose of the MK-7 variety. For more information on vitamin K2, the types, benefits, as well as top sources, you can click HERE. Hope this answers your questions!

    Our bodies are truly complex and while they work behind the scenes, it is when other factors
    disrupt the natural course of things we are aware of issues. Basically it seems that we are “what we eat” and that is always a good place to start to look at what is interrupting or halting a natural process. A healthy diet is probably also essential for many other chronic illnesses and issues. The algeacal website moderated by Lara Pizzorno has also given insight in other factors such as malabsorption, endocrine issues, medications and pollutants and environmental hazards. It is truly a journey . One that is worth the exploration to correct instead of taking a Pharma drug that is fraught with its own hazards.

  1341. Sherri Therrien

    June 2, 2022 , 11:48 pm

    I am 62 and have had great teeth my entire life. I recently had a dentist appointment and he said I had a cavity on the back of my last molar. He said it had a tiny diameter but it was deep almost opening to a nerve. He recommended a root canal at an endodontist. The endodontist started the root canal and said “Honestly, I could give you a root canal and we could make a post and give you a crown but that would be wasting your money because you’re eventually going to lose the tooth. It’s like broken glass inside the tooth.” He went on to explain that the tooth had resorption, which basically means my body was leaching calcium from my teeth. Osteoporosis is one of the causes. I then had a bone density test at my physician’s which confirmed I had it. My physician prescribed Boniva once a month and daily calcium supplements. I immediately called my sister (10 years younger and perimenopausal) and told her to get a bone density baseline and start taking calcium supplements.

  1342. Dee Anne Stanley

    June 3, 2022 , 2:03 am

    I take a acid blocker because of my stomach having so much acid. I have had several ulcers through the years. Could this be why my osteoporosis developed?

  1343. Chelsea Dugas

    June 15, 2022 , 11:16 am

    This could very well contribute as well as any underlying gut issues, Dee Anne. Certain prescription medications can also contribute to bone loss and we have an interesting article listing many of them HERE. That said, we do have customers who take various medications for acid reflux/GERD/etc. and who see wonderful results in increasing their bone density while on AlgaeCal! The key is to ensure that you keep these kinds of medications separated from AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost by at least 4 hours. For more information and personalized support, be sure to contact our Bone Health Consultants 7 days a week at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada). Hope this helps!

    I have been taking AlgaeCal for 2+ years. My osteopenia improved to normal and my osteoporosis went to osteopenia. I walk every day at least 10,000 steps and use weights a few times a week. I learned alcohol and cigarettes were so bad for bones when my husband who died at 54 was told he had the bones of an 80 year old. None of us can go back in time and change our past but we can go forward each day learning how to improve our lifestyles to improve our health.

    Seems so clear and pretty simple. But I’m finding it’s not quite that simple. Have been taking algaecal for 2 years and parts of my skeleton had slight improvement (spine) but other parts (my arms) got significantly worse (like -4.5 in one arm!!!). It seems like your risk of fractures is determined by more than just bone density too. Because even though my density is bad, I’ve never had a fracture that I know of and I continue to be active. Am increasing strengthening exercises for arms too in hopes of improvement. Fingers crossed. I do things like downward facing dog and push ups on the bathroom counter which you think would be dangerous for someone with my arm density readings, but my intuition tells me its ok and necessary. I also just got a vibration plate.

    This is a great article for someone like me who enjoys knowing the details! I had no idea the process of bone remodeling took so long. It’s very helpful that you included information about the triggers for “bad” inflammation as I sometimes need motivation to keep eating correctly. I used to eat a lot of chips, but now snack on salad greens (right out of the container they come in, with no dressing) and carrot sticks while watching TV in the evenings. I do still eat chips I found at Sprouts which are made with Cassava flour and cooked in avocado oil. I don’t eat nearly as many as I used to, but still wonder if they are bad for my omega 3 to 6 ratio.

    I wasn’t aware that our entire skeleton is replaced by new bone every ten years. And that all movements, even small ones,
    put pressure on bones to start the “remodeling” process.

    I have learned more about bone health and ways to avoid osteoporosis from your site (and taking AlgaeCal products) than what any doctor told me, including my endocrinologist and rheumatologist. I was convinced several years ago by these doctors that I needed bone meds and looking back at my numbers, I was in osteopenia at the time. I did several years of bone meds but then found your website and my eyes were opened to what these pharmaceuticals actually do. Thank you AlgaeCal!

    Judith,

    We can absolutely sympathize with your situation – despite the severity and cause of your bone loss, it’s important to stay focused on the future and what you can do in the here and now to increase your bone density <3 We’ve helped thousands of individuals increase their bone mineral density naturally at any age; and we believe anyone, regardless of the severity of the bone loss they've experienced, circumstances, or medications, can do the same.

    AlgaeCal is the only calcium supplement clinically supported to increase bone mineral density; we’re so confident AlgaeCal works that we guarantee scan-to-scan bone density increases for life while supplementing with our Bone Builder Pack! Please don’t hesitate to connect with one of our Bone Health Consultants if you have any questions! You can call us 7 days a week at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free).

    It would take me such a long time to remember all the information about osteoblasts and osteoclasts as it’s quite complicated but the human body is really amazing and while there’s life there’s hope of improving bone health. It’s as if the osteoblasts and osteoclasts are super human as they have an intelligence all of their own and they work so hard.

  1436. Cindy

    June 8, 2022 , 2:50 pm

    Did everything right for the past many years. 1st bone density scan 5 years ago and the form letter from the doctor’s office that came back told me I was “stable” and needed to exercise, eat green veggies, limit alcohol, take in dairy. All the usuals that I was already doing, so I didn’t give a a thought and didn’t evaluate or analyze what the actual “numbers” meant. Fast forward 5 years and I now have a bone density scan that says “osteoporosis”. Doctors are recommending prescription Fosamax, but I am wary. If someone had just told me back then to start taking something as simple as a supplement to maintain or even with Algaecal increase the bone density that was actually on a downward trajectory, I would have done it in a heartbeat.

    Make sure you read and question any bone density reports you get, and question a form letter response. My guess is that anyone on this website already knows that – but tell your friends to question too. I am saddened I didn’t know 5 years ago to start with Algaecal then.

    Thanks so much for this informative article. Could you tell me what the difference is between osteoporosis and osteoarthritis? And whether Algaecal could help with osteoarthritis?

    Thank you.

  1455. Kirby Johnson

    June 15, 2022 , 8:50 am

    Navjit,

    Thank you so much for reaching out with your question. Generally speaking, osteoporosis is a disease that causes bone to become brittle and susceptible to fracture while osteoarthritis occurs when cartilage that cushions bone wears down over time. If you have any interest in further reading on osteoarthritis, you might enjoy our blog article HERE.

    AlgaeCal is a complete bone-health supplement that’s clinically supported to increase bone density and was not formulated in regard to osteoarthritis. While some of our customers report relief from arthritic symptoms while supplementing with our products, AlgaeCal has not been studied to, nor do we advertise it to provide this benefit. Hope this helps clarify the proper application of AlgaeCal 🙂

    I have been taking AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost for 2 months now. I also have upped my walking to daily 3-4 miles. I would love to start jogging but at this time my doctor has advised against it. I am hoping that my next Dexascan will allow me to do just that and I am imagining my bones strengthening everyday with AlgaeCal and Strontium Boost.

    Can weight loss surgery contribute to bone loss

  1560. Kirby Johnson

    June 15, 2022 , 8:57 am

    Julie,

    Great question! Bariatric surgery does prove to have a negative impact on bone metabolism and ultimately bone mass. This surgery limits your ability to absorb fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamins D and K — both of which are crucial for healthy bones. If you have any interest in further reading on this topic, you’re always welcome to explore our blog articles HERE and HERE. Hope this helps answer your question!

    This was an interesting article..what I learned is we need to keep our inflammation under control or eliminate. And our bones are so important..and how it works with the osteoclasts removing old bone and the osteoblasts laying down new bone is amazing. I have osteoporosis and I am taking the AlgaeCal plus & need to start my strontium. I love this group..I have learned so much. Thank you. ❤️

    Since learning I was osteopenic range three years ago, I did a deep dive into op, learning what I could do to strengthen my bones. In short, I strive to get minimum 1,200 mg calcium daily. It takes some training but if you want good bones, it’s a gift you give to yourself. Sidenote, 2 weeks ago while gardening, my feet slipped out from under me & I landed on my back with gashes on my back & forearms. In a true test of my bone health, I smiled thinking “thank God for my algae cal”. Nothing broken & I was out pulling weeds two days following. 🙂 I’m 71

    Why is Hyperparathyroidism never mentioned? It destroys bone and causes osteoporosis too. If you are young and have osteoporosis, get your PTH, Vit D and Calcium levels checked in the same blood draw. Their relationship if high or high normal can indicate your parathyroid gland(s) are bad. Surgery is the only cure. Do yourself a favor and look into this possible cause of brittle bones.

  1584. Yoori AlgaeCal

    October 16, 2023 , 4:38 pm

    You are right that hyperparathyroidism can lead to osteoporosis, Barb, and this is because it releases too much calcium into your bloodstream. It’s always best to consult with a healthcare professional with any questions or concerns regarding hyperparathyroidism. If you’re interested, we have brief information on this condition on our blog article HERE (scroll down to “Hyperparathyroidism”). I hope this helps!
