<p>Hello, my name is Joan Reich and just two years ago I was the one looking at the AlgaeCal site, listening to the testimonials, reviewing the clinical studies and hoping to find some answer to reducing the amount of bone loss I was seeing on my bone scan results.</p>
<p>My bone loss history probably goes back 20 years to when I was first diagnosed with Grave’s disease, which is a thyroid disorder. It had been treated but the condition leaves one predisposed to bone loss. I also have a family history predisposing me to bone loss. It was because of this that my doctor recommended that I do regular, every two year follow ups with bone scans, that I increase calcium intake in my diet and increase the amount of calcium plus D supplementation to high-dose levels. In addition to this, I’ve always had a commitment to exercise activities like hiking, biking, walking, aerobic fitness classes and resistance training. Despite all these measures, my every two-year DEXA scans indicated that what I was doing just wasn’t enough to stop ongoing bone loss. Each subsequent one seemed to further decline and in 2018, my results were rather alarming. My lumbar’s T-score was down to a -2.7 and my hip score was a -1.5. After viewing the AlgaeCal site and hearing the positive results others were having with the products, I decided to give them a try. And so, for the past two years I’ve been taking the recommended dosing, the AlgaeCal Plus and the Strontium Boost. When I had my recent DEXA scan about a month ago and the results came back, I was just completely overjoyed with the results. The numbers exceeded my expectations. My lumbar T-score had improved by 14% and my hip score had a 3.6% improvement. With these results, I will certainly continue with the AlgaeCal products and can hardly wait to see what my next bone scan results reveal.</p>
<p>Thank you to AlgaeCal for this informative site and for having the wonderful products available to make a positive difference in people’s lives and in their health.</p>
