Monica,
I am excited to receive the recipes, I did down load the smoothie ones ?
I have osteoporosis, and have started with the two supplements suggested!
Thank for for all the wonderful information.
I am 66 and desire to remain healthy for a long time!
Joyfully

I am an active, thin, healthy 68 Yr old so I was distressed to be diagnosed with osteoporosis last week. But, I’m feeling very excited to begin using AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium and to use some of these great recipes. Thanks!!

Looking Forward to trying these recipes and trying to improve our old bones. My husband is 90 and I am 84–but never give up on life and trying to improve it. May even be able to improve it for our family

Is algaecal better than citracal for gastric bypass patients with osteoporosis? I’ve been told by my dietician that citracal is the best for me and better absorbed.
I malabsorb nutrients
Cheers

Glad you reached out, Dolores.

AlgaeCal is the only calcium supplement clinically supported to increase bone density! In addition to calcium, it contains nutrients like vitamins D3 and K2 to ensure the calcium you absorb is going directly into your bones. Bone Health Expert Lara Pizzorno goes into further detail and shares other suggestions for you in this post.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to give us a call at 1-800-820-0184. 🙂

I am 75 yrs. old and have been now diagnosed with Osteopina. I am vegan since a few yrs. and vegetarian nearly all of my life. I am healthy with very good lab. results and am on natural supplements since about 10 yrs. i walk daily and eat all plant based foods. now I will be starting on Algaecal.plus. I cook Meditterenean and only Italian foods, hope you have good vegan options because I do not eat nor like fish or eggs or cheeses except for one hard Italian cheese. Thank you.

Hi Maria,

Thank you so much for sharing! For our recipes that aren’t vegan, you can usually swap out one or two ingredients to suit your needs. ?

I have ordered the AlgaeCal and Strontium boost. Wondered what other vitamin supplements you suggest to take to go with them to be extra healthy to improve my bone density? Thank you!

Hi Rosalie, thanks for reaching out!

Lara Pizzorno has previously shared about this in the AlgaeCal Community (welcome, by the way!) – here’s her response copied below:

“That depends on YOU — what your typical diet is providing for you and your genetic inheritance, which can increase your needs for various nutrients. In general, it’s a good idea to take a multiple vitamin and mineral supplement, which will give you small amounts of a wide range of nutrients. In addition, many people need extra vitamin D. After you’ve been taking AlgaeCal Plus for several months, you can determine if you need a bit more vitamin D by having your blood levels of 25(OH)D run –this is the form in which vitamin D circulates in the bloodstream and the form checked to determine your vitamin D adequacy. This lab should be covered by your medical insurance. Here’s a link to a video I taped with more info on vitamin D testing.

If you are not eating wild-caught cold-water fish (e.g., sardines, salmon, halibut) quite frequently, it’s extremely likely that you are not getting sufficient omega-3s, and you should consider having your omega-6:omega-3 ratio checked and taking Triple Power. Here’s a link for information on checking omega-3 levels.

Quite a few people also benefit from supplemental B vitamins, which, if taken, should be taken as a full B complex supplement that provides the B vitamins in their active forms.”

Hope this helps, Rosalie! Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions 🙂

I am taking Calcium citrate, magnesium and D3. Should I stop taking these when I start with Algaecal?
Blaire AlgaeCal
February 24, 2020 , 1:00 pm

Good question, Terry! AlgaeCal Plus contains a clinical dosage of 720 mg calcium and 350 mg of magnesium to increase your bone density, so you will not need additional calcium or magnesium supplementation. Vitamin D3 supplementation requirements vary greatly from person to person, so to make sure you’re getting the right amount, check out this link.

Hope that helps! Feel free to call our Bone Health Consultants at 1-800-820-0184 if you have any questions ?
