  • 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.

    The videos on this channel will be focused around helping women navigate healthspan and longevity through the lens of osteoporosis, perimenopause, and menopause. When it comes to osteoporosis and menopause providers and educators often get tunnel vision and your symptoms might get better, but if you don't keep longevity in mind, symptom improvement may come at the expense of heart and brain health.

    I turned 60 and had my first dexascan. I have osteoporosis in my left hip and spine and osteopenia in my rt hip. My Md wants me to start Alendronate . I am very sceptical because it has so many side effects. I will rather try natural supplements first. Thank you for your very informative videos.

    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
      @Dr_DougLucas  29 днів тому +2

      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!

    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 UA-cam 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. ❤❤❤

      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).

    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 .

Can you please advise where I could possibly purchase calcium only of 1200mg? Thank you in advance.

    Unfortunately I am very sensitive to magnesium, especially magnesium oxide. I have had to separate my calcium from my magnesium so I can better control the amount of magnesium I take. I’ve spent the last three years experimenting with various types and dosages of magnesium only to find that none of them agree with my system. So I try to get my magnesium from my food and sometimes supplement with magnesium glycinate. Very frustrating!

    Highly informative video. I went to the AlgaeCal site and read the ingredients of AlgaeCal Plus. AlgaeCal Plus contains magnesium oxide. Is magnesium oxide absorbable? I thought the amino acid chelates of magnesium were more absorbable. Can you talk to the company and ask them to switch to a more bioavailable form of magnesium? I think I prefer to get the regular AlgaeCal, add D3 complete, and separately add boron and another form magnesium.

    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. Also, the small amount of strontium 3-5 mg that is included in organic calcium products is okay, it's the separate products ranging up to 500 mg is not good.
