I broke my ankle and a friend swears by it. I’m giving five stars because she swears by it. I never actually took any

Good for the bones

Doctor recommended it. Works great. Also good for teeth and jaw. Most bone medicine not good if having g dental work done.

I recently purchased these, have no trouble taking them as far as pill size, hope I will have the same excellent results as others, but do have one word of warning to avoid a silly mistake I made. There are two bottles in this system, you take the pills in one at b'fast and lunch, and the other at night before bed (because they have different absorption, or something like that). No problem, until I went on a business trip and put some of each into a baggy. I hadn't noticed until then that they look exactly alike - EXACTLY! - so once I poured about 20 of each into a baggy, I had no idea which was which. Therefore I didn't know which to take when, if I was mixing them together, etc. Maybe it was silly I hadn't noticed they looked exactly alike but taking them at different times of the day means I hadn't really looked at them side by side. I'm leaving for another trip and this time poured them into different baggies - lesson learned. I can't decide if I should discard the other ones or not - I hate to, because they're not cheap, but I have no idea which pills are which. I even looked at them under a magnifying glass, hoping there was a small marker to differentiate them, but no luck. : )

I have been taking the Garden of Life: Grow Bone System (Calcium and Strontium citrate) for almost two years. After I received my diagnosis of osteoporosis I started lifting a 5 lb. weight on each limb for 7 minutes twice a day as well as started to take the Grow Bone System. My most recent bone density scan showed that my osteoporosis was rolled back to osteopenia and I knew I had made a good decision.I’m writing because the other day I gave myself two bone density tests when I tripped on the cement sidewalk. The first time I fell directly on my left hip. Not only did I not feel any pain, I didn’t even get a bruise! Then the very next day, while leaving a store, I stepped off a step but did not realize that it was 3 to 4 inches down to the ground. I landed extremely hard on my right heel and felt the impact on each of my vertebrae! Although I did not actually fall down on the ground this second time, my spine (as well as my left hip) felt as solid as the cement I landed on!Without the Grow Bone System, I would not have been able to go on with my life. Instead, I would have been rushed to a hospital for a hip replacement. Now I know with the Grow Bone System and my weights, I’ll be able to keep my bones strong and healthy for the rest of my life. I have no words to express my gratitude as my life as I know it would have ended this week.People you need to refuse those bone-altering drugs that doctors push on their patients. Avoid those horrible drugs point blank take the Grow Bone System, lift weights (2x day) and live an active life.THANK YOU GARDEN OF LIFE FOR YOUR FANTASTIC PRODUCT.Kind regards,Caryl Bertolino

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!

So great peoduct awesome for what it does. However, I have chronic migraines. And they suddenly got a LOT worse. I looked into a it and a lot of the ingredients into these can trigger migraines especially in folks sensitive to them, etc. So, if you do have migraines just keep an eye out be aware when you start taking them, take smaller doses, keep note of if they get worse, etc.I cannot take them at all. A 3 week migraine (or daily for however long i try to take it) isn't worth it...
