Please note: This competition is now closed. A big thank you to everyone who participated. And congratulations to our winners –– Patricia, Carin, and Betty!

October 20th is World Osteoporosis Day. Traditionally, it’s a day where we’re reminded of the scary statistics and bleak consequences of osteoporosis.

But who needs any more depressing news right now?! And besides, poor bone health is not a foregone conclusion. With that in mind, we thought a bit of fun was in order, along with some positivity…

So, we hosted a scavenger hunt –– one that provides a positive message about increasing bone density along with actionable tips you can implement today!

How the World Osteoporosis Day Scavenger Hunt Works

The World Osteoporosis Day Scavenger Hunt competition is now over. But you can still complete the scavenger hunt!

Our hope is that you’ll have some fun “hunting” around the AlgaeCal website. And that you’ll take the time to read the pages involved in the scavenger hunt. And even better… share the information you read with your loved ones.

Because the core message of World Osteoporosis Day is to raise awareness about bone health and what you can do to have strong, healthy bones for life. And that’s a message we try to promote every day of the year.

Here’s how it works:

A little further down this post, you’ll find three sets of questions.

Now, the questions are bone-health related, and all of the answers are “hidden” somewhere on the AlgaeCal website!

Your task is to “hunt down” the answers. But don’t worry, we’ll give you a helping hand. For each question, there’s a hint that provides a clickable link to the page you’ll find the answer on. 


Scavenger Hunt #1 – The AlgaeCal Website

Search around the AlgaeCal website for the answers to the following questions. We think you’ll discover some helpful bone-health tips along the way!

  2. Name one of the 3 “Ps” to look out for when you’re choosing an omega 3 supplement. You’ll find the answer on our guide to choosing an omega 3 supplement
