Garden of Life Calcium Supplement - Vitamin Code Grow Bone Made with Whole Foods, Strontium, Magnesium, K2 MK7, Vitamin D3 & C Plus Probiotics for Gut Health, 30 Day Supply

My wife has been taking these Grow Bone supplements for 6 years since she was diagnosed with osteoporosis after a bone density exam in 2019. Since then, she has had updated Dexa bone density scans every two years with the most recent being today. In each instance her bone density showed marked improvement from the preceding test. Like many other reviewers, my wife’s bone density results since starting the Grow Bone System are nothing short of amazing! Despite now being in her 60’s, her bone density results are better than they were 8 years ago! She now has better bone density results than her age group (Z Score) but also has gone from osteoporosis to normal bone density in most areas and just slight osteopenia in the others. Back in 2019, her doctor wanted her to take Prolia injections. Prolia is very expensive and can have significant side effects. My wife is so glad she decided to try the Grow Bone System instead! In addition to taking these supplements, my wife is very diligent with daily weight bearing exercises such as walking and pickleball as well as the use of free weights.

At the age of 63, I showed a bone density increase of 4% on my DEXA bone study this year after 2 years and 3 months taking the Garden of Life Grow Bone System and incorporating power walking 2 miles per day and yoga into my daily routine. As the technician who gave me the good news after my DEXA scan said, "You are the poster child for osteoporosis...your age, blond hair, blue eyes, small frame and fair skin. This is a miracle. Whatever you are doing, just keep doing it!" I told her about the Grow Bone System, and she was familiar with the good results that women have been getting with strontium. She gave me copies of the before DEXA scan picture from 2 years and 3 months ago years ago and the new DEXA scan which shows the 4% bone density increase and that I no longer have osteoporosis and am in the osteopenia to normal range. I plan to work even harder on the exercise and will keep taking the Garden of Life Grow Bone System with the goal of getting an entirely normal DEXA scan in the coming years ahead! I highly recommend this excellent product!!! ___________________________________________________________ UPDATE, DECEMBER 2017: My new DEXA bone density (age 65) shows +10.331% bone density increase in my spine, +5.55% bone density increase in my left hip and +5.296% bone density increase in my right hip since my last DEXA bone scan 2 years ago! I do yoga, and I walk 3-4 miles every day in addition to taking Garden of Life Grow Bone. Lots of activity + Garden of Life Grow Bone System = A winning combination! _______________________________________________________________________________________ UPDATE, DECEMBER 2019: Good Bye osteoporosis and most of the osteopenia! All spine and hip areas are now in overall normal range. My left hip bone density has improved from overall osteopenia to overall normal, but still has a tiny bit of osteopenia in the neck area on the line with low normal! My spine and other hip areas are well into the normal bone density range with my total overall scores now showing NORMAL BONE DENSITY!!! Garden of Life Grow Bone + my 5 miles of walking and yoga is truly a winning combination!

I've been using bone grow for almost two years, just after I found out I had osteoperosis. Last week I had my first dexa scan since I began the product and my report shows my bone density has "substantially increased". I still have a ways to go, but I will continue using the product and hopefully avoid ever having to get injections.

I've been using this product for several months now. I noticed stomach issues taking full doses so I've cut back. I will continue to take these until I find a replacement. I haven't had another bone density check to see if they are working yet but I think it's still to early to see much change if there is any. They are easy to swallow but I can swallow pills with no problem anyway.

Love this product. It works so well that I reversed my Osteoporosis. It's less expensive than AlgaeCal and works just as well.

I usually don't leave feedback but this product deserves one. My mom is 76 years old and has (had!) Osteoporosis. Her Doctor has had her on Fosamax and many other medications for the past 10 years. Nothing has worked. She was getting worse and worse and her bones looked like swiss cheese on the scans. She broke her hip last year and was desperate to try something else other than what her doctor was wanting her to try. We did some research on Google and decided that a whole food raw calcium might actually work better than the $800 a month shots her Dr. was recommending! My mom has religiously taken The Garden Of Life Grow Bone Calcium + strontium for the past 8 months and went in for a bone density scan (which was not covered because she did not take the drugs her Dr. was recommending Medicare will not do them for any other purpose) which she paid for herself. She got the results and they are totally AMAZING!!! No more Osteoporosis!!! In fact almost all areas are in the normal range - at the low end of normal but still totally amazing results! WOW! I am a believer and I am now taking this amazing product since I have Osteopenia.

Amazing product. I've use it for years, and moved from having osteopenia to having normal bone density. Found best price is on Amazon.

Does strontium really increase bone density - strontium is denser than bone so the uptake fools the dexa machine. here are facts - beware of strontium based products - Why the Bone Density Data is MisleadingHigher Atomic Weight: Strontium has an atomic weight of roughly 87, while calcium has an atomic weight of 40.X-Ray Blockade (Attenuation): Because strontium atoms replace some calcium atoms in your bone matrix, they block DEXA scan X-rays much more intensely.Overestimated Readings: Studies show that for every 1% of strontium integrated into your bone, your DEXA scan bone density reading is overestimated by about 10%. Up to half or more of the "gains" seen on a scan may just be the heavy mineral fooling the machine.Real Effects vs. False AssumptionsReal (Some Fracture Reduction): Prescription forms like strontium ranelate did show genuine reductions in certain spinal fractures in clinical trials, though it carries real cardiovascular risks like blood clots.False (True Bone Quality): Over-the-counter supplements like strontium citrate are not FDA-approved to treat osteoporosis, and replacing natural calcium with high levels of strontium does not mean your bones are structurally stronger or matching the high numbers on your scan report.Long-Term Skew: Strontium stays in your skeleton for a very long time, meaning it can cause false high bone density readings on your DEXA scans for years—even after you stop taking it.
