My doctor had ordered it and I’d always been a runner, lifted weights, very healthy person I thought. So I was quite excited for the results to come back. So when they came back and I had a lumbar spine number of -3.0 and a right femur of -2.6, I was absolutely devastated. Went into the doctor, and she had immediately wanted to put me on the typical drugs that they do for low bone density numbers, and I was skeptical, did research, and so eventually I refused to go on those drugs, at which point she told me, “There’s nothing more I can do for you. “You are on your own.” So I felt very frustrated and just went on typical calcium pills for a year. Didn’t know what else to do. And then a year later I found AlgaeCal and thought I will give that a try. So I started AlgaeCal, and 15 months after starting that I had my next bone scan, which was actually two and a half years from my first one. But just 15 months after going on AlgaeCal, my lumbar spine had gone from -3.0 to a -2.6 and my right femur had gone from -2.6 to -2.2. I was then seeing a bone specialist at that time, and she immediately had said, “I’m not gonna push the typical drugs on you any more, “and just keep doing what you’re doing. “It’s working, and we’ll recheck you in a year.” So I was completely delighted and I kept doing my, you know, walking and running and weight lifting and trying to eat healthy. And had another bone scan 15 months after that, which was just a few weeks ago. And my numbers now had gone from 18 months ago to a -2.6 in my lumbar spine to -2.2, and in my right femur from -2.6, or -2.2 to 2.1. So all in all, I have had a huge increase in my bone mass. From the first time I started taking AlgaeCal two and a half years ago, I’ve gone from a -3.0 to a -2.2 in my spine and a -2.6 to a -2.1 in my right femur. So I am completely encouraged and am now going to start adding the fish oil, and I encourage anyone to try it. It truly works, there is no side effects, it’s easy to take, and gave me such great peace of mind. The radiologist even noted on my report that the increase was statistically significant and the doctors are no longer pushing any prescription drugs and just encouraging me to keep doing what I’m doing.</p> <p>So thank you to AlgaeCal and I hope you have the same good results.</p> <div class="disclaimer success-stories-disclaimer text-success"> <p>Increased bone density results are consistent with 3 published studies.
