What Do My Osteoporosis And Bone Density Tests Indicate?
My husband has been diagnosed with osteoporosis and bone density tests show high risk for fracture in the head of the femur. We are researching options of treatments and the side effects of the different drugs out there are frightening. We are considering AlgaeCal as a more natural option and the studies they list look promising for bone growth. Are you familiar with AlgaeCal and if so what do you think?

Hello,
This medication has calcium and other elements. It looks like a good choice, but I suggest you to consult with rheumatologist time by time because he may need other medications. It's very important to have a healthy lifestyle and a diet with seafood.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Blerina Pasho, General & Family Physician
