Grow Bone System

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.

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

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

I liked the product but it got hard for me to find. I found a new product I like better.

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 heard that Grow Bone had given positive results for friends who have osteoporosis. I was excited about trying the product and convinced my doctor to let me try it since my bone scans have shown some osteoporosis. I did take the Grow Bone as prescribed but after a couple of days, I had an upset stomach. I stopped taking the product because I was going on vacation and didn't want to have an upset stomach. After vacation, I started again and had the same symptoms. I like taking natural so didn't want to quit taking this product that is supposed to give results. After talking with a friend, I learned that she too experienced the same problems and is taking 1 capsule of raw bone with breakfast, 1 with lunch, and the 2 Vitamin Code capsules in the evening. That is what I am doing now and maybe in time I can increase the dosage and not have ill effects with the stomach. TWO YEARS LATER.. I just had a dexa scan and the doctor now tells me that my osteopenia has improved and to continue with the Grow Bone as I have been doing. I also have a Fit bit and am working on getting at least 10,000 steps a day. I am excited because before taking the Grow Bone, my osteopenia was getting worse and I had some osteoporosis. The pills no longer affect my stomach and I am able to take more than I did at first. It is paying off!

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.
