<script charset="ISO-8859-1" src="https://fast.wistia.com/static/concat/iframe-api-v1.js"></script><p>Hello, my name is Michele Starr, and I am 52 years old and I have very low bone density.</p>
<p>I have a -3.5 in my spine and a -2.9 in my hip. So last year I went to the doctor and I asked for something to assist me with increasing my bone density and she, of course, recommended medications. I decided that I wanted to do an alternative route and I looked up on the internet and I found AlgaeCal. So I bought the bone builder product and started in October of 2018. I had a wonderful summer. I work out. I walk about 10k a day. I jog lightly, maybe 5-7k a day, and I also teach a spin class on Wednesdays, and I do a hot pilates class to have some weight-bearing exercises in my exercise regime.</p>
<p>Anyways, in September, I was full of energy and feeling great. Then I went back and got my bone density scan again, and my results have improved. I’m now -2.9 in my spine, I’ve increased bone density by 10%. I’m now -0.3 in my hip, and I’ve increased 6% in my hip at this point. I was ecstatic. I don’t even know what to say, other than thank you AlgaeCal for recommending an alternative for all those people who have so much fear and anxiety around low bone density, and there’s other things you can do to complement building bone density. Just go on the AlgaeCal website. They have recipes, they have recommendations. There’s a lady named Laura who is an advocate, and she has written a book called “Your Bones”. They have tons of recommendations in there that you can follow, and there was a couple things that I actually did do. Suggestions by her, I took bioidentical hormones through a naturopathic doctor, and I also started B vitamins and fish oils. And obviously, everything’s working for me, so I’m ecstatic.</p>
<p>Thank you, AlgaeCal, for everything.</p>
