<p>I am 67 years young. I have been an advocate for <strong>natural healing</strong> for many years. I once managed a health food store and heard many stories from my customers of remarkable healing using natural approaches. I myself have healed myself and my family members, over the years, using natural supplements and foods.</p>
<p class="p1">But, I realized recently that I had developed a sort of blind spot regarding calcium. I knew that most calcium supplements are made from oyster shells and are not fully utilized within the body and can contribute to calcium “deposits”. So, I tended to avoid taking them. <span style="text-decoration: underline;">I figured I could get the calcium I needed in the foods I ate</span>. However, I failed to consider that I was eating less calcium-rich dairy foods since I seemed to feel better when I avoided them.</p>
<p class="p1">About a year ago, I noticed that my lower back, left side, was becoming <strong>increasingly painful</strong> and sore when I bent over even a little. The pain grew worse and worse over time. Eventually, I could feel it spread to my hip joint as well. I tried using topical oils and lots of cod liver oil and vitamin D. But, it seemed like there was something missing from those that my body really needed to heal.</p>
<p class="p1">During a visit to the doctor for another internal problem, I had an X-ray. I overheard the doctor telling a nurse that the X-ray showed everything normal except for some obvious deterioration of the spine.</p>
<p class="p1">After hearing this, I decided to take action and find some supplements that would specifically help my bones and discs in my spine strengthen. I could actually “feel” the bulging disc when I pressed my fingers where the pain was in my lower back. I knew that further deterioration was likely if I kept ignoring the problem.</p>
<p class="p1">I went online and found several kinds of calcium supplements. Then I found <a href="https://www.algaecal.com/product/algaecal-plus/">AlgaeCal </a>and really liked that it was derived from algae rather than oyster shells, which I knew could be assimilated by my body more easily. I also liked that it was <a href="https://www.algaecal.com/research/">shown to be effective</a> in building bone density. I went ahead and ordered a bottle to try.</p>
<p class="p1">I started taking two capsules each morning and afternoon. I noticed that the pain was lessening on the third day. It was still there. But, it was not as intense. After the first week, my back definitely felt better. I started doing some simple stretches, hoping to lessen the bulging disc I could feel on my left side. I slowly improved and was able to stretch farther and bend more without pain. And to my surprise, the bulging disc began to subside.</p>
<p class="p1">I ordered three more bottles of AlgaeCal. Then, as an experiment, I went for a while without taking any and noticed that the pain started to return. So, I started taking the four capsules a day again, and to my surprise, the pain went away again.</p>
<p class="p1">I now have been taking AlgaeCal for about two months, every day and each day <strong>I have felt improvement</strong>. The bulging disc is almost imperceptible now. It has definitely been healing. I can bend and twist without any pain. In fact, I feel strong and flexible like I did when I was young.</p>
<p class="p1">As a result of this miraculous recovery, I am able to do yoga stretches on a regular basis. I know AlgaeCal was instrumental in bringing me to my current state of health and I am committed to taking it every day. Thank you so much for making a great product.</p>
