The Best Supplements for Osteoporosis in 2024

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Lucas discusses his top three supplements for osteoporosis. He starts by talking about AlgaeCal Plus, which is a whole food source of calcium derived from algae. He explains that algae-based calcium is better than other forms of calcium because it contains additional micronutrients. The second supplement he discusses is AlgaeCal D3 Complete, which contains all the fat-soluble vitamins, including vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin E, and vitamin K. The third supplement is strontium citrate, which has been shown to improve bone mineral density. Dr. Lucas emphasizes that while supplements can be helpful, they should be combined with lifestyle changes for optimal bone health.

I’d like to see a review of Nature’s Way Alive Bone Support which also uses an algae based calcium plus additional minerals similar to AlgaeCal. I know you have a relationship with AlgaeCal so it’s not likely but it would be great for us to have an impartial review of Alive.

Yes, thank you for this video recommendation. We will look into this further.

Osteoporosis center doctor took me off my calcium, said I was getting enough in my diet...got to my primary care doctor today, he didn't even notice I'd been taken off them, they really don't care

They give you the information Its up to you what you do. Another doctor said not to take it. discuss with pcp. Your health is up to you. Do your research and make good decisions.

I discovered AlgaeCal a couple of weeks ago, ordered the 6-month supply, and just started taking it (the bone-builder pack with AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium). I've had about 4 dexascans starting in my 50s, and the most recent one was mixed: 97% PBD in my spine, but 67% in my left femoral neck. My doctor immediately suggested the dreaded drugs (which I think is weird considering the spine reading!), but I said no, let me take some time to think. Then I discovered AlgaeCal. So this video came at the PERFECT time. Also, I discovered your KZbin channel a few weeks ago because of a recent bout of hip pain. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your approach to analyzing findings of current medical research. Your relentless approach to uncovering flaws and biases is awe-inspiring. All I can say is thank you, thank you, thank you for putting out this information so people like me can benefit from it. ❤❤❤

I have a question/concern about where the algae is sourced and is it tested for PFAS and heavy metals? Algae can easily be contaminated from the water it grows in and has been a problem for brands of chlorella and spirulina. The research I have found for bone health with K2 is that it is MK4 that improves bone health. I take a combination of the 2 with higher amounts of MK4. It is a small soft gel.

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Hi! Every batch of AlgaeCal powder is tested by a third-party laboratory for microbial activity, heavy metals, mineral content and more. The final product is made in an FDA-inspected GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) plant where the highest standards are kept. AlgaeCal is FDA registered and has Health Canada approvals. It has been on the market for 20 years and has 3 clinical studies and a toxicology study showing extraordinary safety!

You made me cry. I was so hopeful that I found something that would help me and my MIL. Then I looked at the price! Who can afford this, especially when someone is on a fixed income? The 10% doesnt help either! Very disappointed.

[@toniasalways]

I understand these things are costly. It's out of my budget, too. It could be the answer to my prayers but until money falls from the sky I won't be able to do it.

[@tbe1441]

Don't worry, you can use food or cheaper sources: Dairy, sunshine, liver, heart, natto, eggs, egg shell, fish, lemon zest, bone broth, marrow, other organs, borax (tiny amounts), magnesium bath or topical spray, etc. These foods are extremely nutrient dense, inexpensive and some are free. Or ask your local health food store for affordable choices (such as a multi mineral). Our ancestors had strong bones without supplements, so consider their traditional diet.

[@janrajek8634]

You still have to do the workouts and things recommended but How can you say no to the guarantee they offer! You may get your bone density/ strength back and it doesn’t cost you anything if it doesn’t work. Specialized foods cost you money too

[@tbe1441]

@@janrajek8634 While I agree that sometimes investing extra money in our health is worthwhile, the foods I and things listed are very cheap (or free), and as good or better than expensive supplements. Most of the suggested nutrients are in liver.

[@dotjeff4543]

I like your balanced discussion on strontium. I am just over the osteoporosis mark in my femoral neck (still in osteopenia in the spine) so I’m not ready to jump into strontium as I don’t feel it is natural to have so much in the bone replacing calcium. As you said, not enough studies to show that it actually helps with fracture risk. I’m also concerned that it might contribute to brittle bone .

[@Dr_DougLucas]

Thank you for sharing this!

[@yolainelauture-berquin]

I would like your opinion on Primal Bone Health which has almost all the bones supplemental you mentioned plus others.

[@LindaC.-wo8qg]

Are there any studies addressing “rebound” risks should a person decide to stop taking Strontium after a period of time since it impacts the balance between osteoblasts and osteoclasts? Could that then increase fracture risk?

I read that strontium thickens the outer bone, which is why Dexa changes. The problem is that thicker bones do not mean stronger bones. This thickening alters the tensile strength of bone.
