BONE DENSITY

A report in the medical journal Osteoporosis International summarized 32 studies conducted between 1977 and 2008 on calcium intake and bone density. The 32 multi-year studies involved 3,169 postmenopausal women, 79 skeletal measures and 7 different types of calcium. AdvaCAL users reported impressive results. With AdvaCAL, average bone density increased +1.5% per year, +3.3% per year compared to a placebo.*  Click here to compare multi-year research results.

Calcium carbonate from algae (so-called “algae calcium”) has one, unpublished 6-month study available. Participants  took algae calcium, strontium, two different levels of  bone nutrients and followed a bone-healthy diet and exercise plan.   Only one of the two groups showed  “improved”  bone density.  The “improved” group took higher levels of bone nutrients, suggesting that those nutrients may have been more beneficial than the algae calcium.  In contrast,  participants taking AdvaCAL calcium alone after 4-6 months had impressive increases in bone density in three different studies.without strontium, bone nutrients, exercise or  diet changes.* Click here to compare 6 month research results.
