My mother in law took Algaecal for several years. It did not work and she died a painful death from osteoporosis. She was bent double for years. She did not notice the small print which says the product is not approved by the FDA in USA and cannot be bought over the counter in the UK. There is a reason for that. It is an expensive con. Please do not waste your money on this product. Follow your doctor's advice instead. This company preys on older people with promises that cannot be kept and which comes at huge cost to people, both physically and financially. They should be ashamed.
I've been taking Algae Cal for a few months as directed and also Strontium Boost. My recent bone density test came back worse than 2 years ago. It did not work for me. I can't justify spending hundreds more on these capsules. I'm seeing a Rheumatologist very soon.
AlgaeCal offers a plant based calcium supplement, verified to outperform those based on calcium carbonate and calcium citrate when it comes to DNA synthesis. Peer reviewed studies have confirmed that AlgaeCal formulations can greatly contribute to bone density increase, even in people who would otherwise likely suffer a steady decrease.
The cost is not cheap but I love the product so I will keep using it. One of the best calciums I have tried, and I like that it is natural from plants. I have had no side effects maybe because the product is better quality and supposedly made of algae.
Always ships very promptly which I am happy about. They even had a consultation with me which was very nice and they didn't rush me.
When I read about AlgaeCal Plus, their advertisements said you would see 10% improvement in one year. I had been diagnosed with osteopenia. After one year I went in and took my bone density test and not only had I not improved, I had gone into osteoporosis. I was 75 when I started in excellent health. I would not recommend this product to anyone. C. J. San Diego, CA
One of my parents has osteopenia and this company promises that one's DEXA scan numbers would improve after 6+ months on their product, or they will refund your money. After a year taking of taking the product as directed, the numbers improved only by 0.10 - 0.40% which the doctor stated was essentially unchanged (per the report, "statistically insignificant"). We sent the report to the company but they refused to refund our money.
I've been using AlgaeCal for 9 months now and the results have been great. Seeing better results on my DexaScan and my bone mass / health is much better now. Goodbye osteoporosis!
Answer: Great question, Gary! Strontium is a mineral that is naturally occurring in soil, foods we eat, and our bones. It's clinically supported to triple the rate of bone-building when combined with AlgaeCal, as shown in our clinical studies! Strontium has also been shown to reduce fracture risk in research. For more information, don't hesitate to send us an email at support@algaecal.com or give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 (USA & Canada toll-free). Hope this helps! -Jenna@ AlgaeCal
Answer: Hi Bonnie, glad you reached out! Our published and peer-reviewed studies measured increases in bone density specifically. However, many customers have let us know that the vitamins & minerals in AlgaeCal benefited their arthritis as well! We highly recommend a good quality fish oil for arthritic pain. For example, our Triple Power Fish Oil provides anti-inflammatory and antioxidant ingredients (fish oil, turmeric, and astaxanthin) shown to help manage the pain and stiffness associated with arthritic conditions! You can learn more at the AlgaeCal website. Hope this helps and let us know if you have any other questions! - Jenna@ AlgaeCal
Answer: Hi Lien, Thank you for reaching out to us! Absolutely, AlgaeCal is clinically proven to increase bone density safely and naturally - without the use of prescription medications. In fact, using the supplements on their own is the most effective way to build strong bones. Having said that, please be sure to speak with your doctor before discontinuing any medications. Let us know if you have questions! - Jenna@ AlgaeCal

Of course, we want you to feel confident in your decision, so please don't hesitate to contact us with questions or concerns. You can also visit our website to see many success stories and the research behind AlgaeCal -- we have not 1 but 3 human clinical studies proving that AlgaeCal increases bone density safely and naturally.

Answer: Hi Kodee, Yes, we recommend our Bone Builder Pack (AlgaeCal Plus & Strontium Boost) for anyone who has been diagnosed with osteoporosis or osteopenia. Feel free to contact us directly if you have questions! - Jenna@ AlgaeCal
Hello, thanks for reaching out!
Did you know that a small increase (actually, even a stabilized bone density scan) is wonderful news after the age of 40? At this age, we naturally begin to lose 1% of our bone density each year, sometimes more due to factors like menopause, prescription medications, genetics, etc. So, rest assured, a 0.4% increase is quite significant compared to a 1% loss! Now that your parent's bone loss is stabilized, the nutrients in AlgaeCal can really help to build up and strengthen their bones. We would love to discuss this with you further, and if this is something you are open to please do give us a call at 1-800-820-0184 and one of our Bone Health Consultants would be more than happy to help.
