I have only been taking these for a month now. A friend of mine was having a problem with having hard stools. Her doctor recommended this brand because it is plant based instead of stone.

Easy to swallow and digest. Has added D, K and magnesium for maximum absorbency. Excellent way to give your body a calcium boost.

I originally purchased these for my young (at the time) daughter who couldn’t have any dairy and I wanted to make sure she was getting adequate calcium (beyond greens) during the important bone building years. She eventually stopped taking them and I had a couple of bottles due to autoship. So I replaced my calcium citrate with these. I have been taking calcium citrate consistently for 4-5 years and before that calcium carbonate. I am now almost 54 so have been pretty consistent with calcium since I was around 40.
By the time the two bottles were emptied I was seeing a change in my fingernails so I purchased more for me. I think I have now been taking them for around 6 months. My fingernails have been soft, curling, peeling and weak my entire life. 3 years ago I stopped taking a multivitamin with synthetic folic acid and added methylfolate as prescribed by my physician. That changed my fingernails a lot. I thought they couldn’t get better. They stopped curling and were strong enough I could tap them on a table and make noise. Sounds weird but they were so soft before that didn’t happen.
Now my fingernails are so strong that I have to cut them before filing because I would have to use two whole files if I tried to do it all with a file. The only change this year is this calcium so I believe the bioavailability and combination of other vitamins and minerals were what my body needed to grow strong nails for the first time.

As stated in a previous review, about 1/3 of the tablets received in my last order were broken. I have taken these tablets for several years and have never seen this before. It makes one wonder if the shoddy condition of the tablets is indicative of sloppy production standards as well.

I was paying for algaeCal plus and strontium but it was really expensive. This product is easier to swallow and already has the strontium included in each pill. No need to take so many pills. The pills are also flat making them easy to take and are tasteless.

Those words were music to my ears. Back in 2018 I was diagnosed with osteoporosis and put on generic fosamax. I was a good soldier and took the medicine but after 2-3 weeks was so sick to my stomach on this medication that I stopped. I consulted with my GP and he wanted me to try Prolia. I said I wanted to see if I could get results using other methods and we agreed to a two year trial period. I did the following: First, found this supplement and took it 2x daily (recommended 3X daily but because I eat lunch in a busy office, I just knew I would not have it together to take it then.) Second, every AM started with large glass of water with lemon squeezed into it – google Dr. Pier Boutin, orthopedic surgeon. Third, started a regular and consistent exercise regime including jogging, walking with a weighted vest and doing push ups. I just got my results back from 2020 bone density report GREAT NEWS: “There has been stability or improvement in bone mineral density at the spine and hips since previous study and patient does not meet criteria for pharmacologic therapy.” I am over 65 and have taken medication that has a correlation to bone density loss for almost 20 years, so to get these results without precription bone meds is miraculous. I really hope this information helps another person.

I’m not a review person but New Chapter Bone Strength deserves the accolades. This product was recommended to me by my Naturopathic Doctor..I can’t thank her enough. I’ve been taking it for a year. My recent Dexa Scan showed a reversal from Osteoporosis to Osteopenia. I was blown away because my regular MD led me to believe that reversal was not in the big picture…she laughed when she said it.
Guess I have the last laugh!!!! I highly recommend this product and will take it faithfully. Looking to reverse the Osteopenia for the next Scan. Off to consult my Naturopathic Doctor…to thank her!!!

I am a fan of New Chapter, but I wish they could have lower price without compromising the quality. Anyway, I think the Bone Strength is a good product for me since I have been taking them for years. However, I usually have to wait until the promotion in order to save a bit of money, especially at time like this.

One Pill gives you calcium and D3. So much better than taking two big pills at a time. A little pricey but worth it. Dr. Says bone scan looked good. Keep doing whatever your doing.
F. C. –
The calcium supplement really helps with bone strength. My pain is gone where the bones have become osteoporotic. The bills are smaller than other brands I’ve tried and easy to swallow.
Brewman –
I give this 5 stars because I HOPE it is that good. How can I possibly know shy of bone density test comparisons or something?
The packaging…size and ease of taking these pills…the apparent natural sourcing etc seems top rated…
I am trying to ward off the deliterious effects of ADT hormone therapy on bones. I hope it is as good as they promote themselves to be.

I have taken this supplement for years and it has given me strong bones, even at my age of 68. However, and this is a big one, it was packaged in a gigantic waste of colored cardboard- a “presentation”, I presume. It makes me wonder about the efficacy of the actual product. Stop wasting the planet’s resources, and keep your eye on the quality of your product, please!!!

I really like this product and have used if FOR YEARS. I recently purchased 2 bottles for my 2 kids. One of the bottles was broken so that little shards of glass were inside so we tossed it. We couldn’t figure out how that could happen as the bottle was packaged really well. I find this product to be reliable and trustworthy. I have recommended to many people as well.

I have always been concerned about calcium supplements made from elemental calcium. They are very controversial for women. I love this one because it is a whole food supplement made from plants. I gave it 4 stars because it is in a glass container/bottle and is delivered in what looks like a very expensive gift box. I would prefer a non-breakable container and NO expensive looking box.
Great supplement, though!!

9 of the 60 pills in the bottle were tiny chunks or pieces instead of whole pills. I’m glad I bothered to count. Amazon is very good about replacing defective items but you should count what’s in your bottle to make sure you get what you paid for. Otherwise I like this brand very much because they are a good combination of high quality plant based ingredients with almost no fillers or additives and are quite slim and easy to swallow This particular brand was recommended by our gastroenterologist.

I want to title this ‘yay!’ Mostly, because I seem to have a sensitivity to strontium and I’ve tried this from other quality competitors, but I tend to have a reaction. I was glad I didn’t have a reaction to this one but I so far can only do 1 in the morning. I have osteopenia and I can feel a difference just with the one slim tab. I’m going to try to get a dexa scan again soon and then another a year from now. Personally, I don’t really want to go into a lab to get tested right now during covid, but I might. otherwise, I’ll wait and test in January and then try again a year after to see if there’s a full improvement. I suspect if I stick with this, it will be improved from the last DEXA over a year back. I know nothing else has really changed and I am certain I will see the difference. Thank you New Chapter. I will say that when I worked at the health food stores, I believe this company had the first algae-based calcium and so it makes sense to me that theirs is more perfected and that’s why I am less likely to react.

I don’t dislike the product, but I do dislike the unreasonable price hikes. I have a subscription that started out under $34.00, this year. My last shipment was over $40.00. I’ll have to check the price on the next shipment. I plan on cancelling this product if it exceeds $34.00.

These are very thin and easy to swallow. I started taking them to combat pregnancy leg cramps, and in the two weeks or so I’ve been taking them I only got one minor cramp. My tooth sensitivity also has improved.
Amazon Customer –
These Bone Strength tablets will give you ease in your bones within 2 days after starting to take them. They are excellent. I was in pain every day until I discovered Bone Strength. This supplement is exactly what you need if you have any bone pain. I take them every day for over a year and stand firmly by the fact that they will improve your life.

I have no problem taking New Chapter Calcuim& magnesium supplement. Easy to swallow, no stomach issues & I think I’m getting a better night sleep. Bought on Amazon buy 1 get 50 % of 2nd one
Loretta B –
I have been taking these regularly now for almost a year. My bone scan last year determined I’m am very border line osteo and this product has such raving reviews I hope and belive its helping keep my bone from becoming to soft and brittle. Defiantly don’t need to shrink anymore than I already have. ( I was 5’3″ once upon a time now at almost 40 im barely 5’1″).
burkehart –
I have researched ingredients for bone building and these fit the bill. My regular Dr. called me after my last scan to tell me my bones were thinning and I need to take 1500 mg of calcium per day.! Well, my cardiologist had told me not to take calcium bc it can clog one’s arteries! And the prescription drugs that were given for osteoporosis are now having serious side effects! WOW!!! So, I am giving these a try and hope they work… I have had no problems with them and I have been taking them for a month. They are a tablet so I hope they are dissolving and absorbing!

My neighbors found my package in the middle of the road. My house is well off the road, so I would never have seen it, and I was not home. They put it on Facebook and my daughter saw it. I want to know who was responsible for getting it delivered. I am lucky the school bus or the logging trucks didn’t run over it. It better get delivered to the porch next time.
Ryan Stevanovic –
I must say this has changed my life.
I used to be a big workout addict. I never stretched before or after my workout which in return caused my trap muscles to tighten which caused my shoulder and neck bones to pull together which in return made me constantly crack my neck for relief. After many years of cracking my neck and pulling the neck away from my shoulder for relief my neck bones started to crack and grind just from me simply moving my head left right back and forth.
My neck literally felt like it was falling apart and as if my head will just fall off
I didnt know what the problem was. Nor did the chiropractor now that I think about it. I didnt know I was lacking calcium until I bought this. I finished a bottle and about midway through the bottle I noticed a difference and after I finished the bottle my neck no more cracks or grinds as I move it. Nor can I crack it with the force of my hands as I used to. I now ordered 2 180 pill bottles lol.

As a Senior needing additional calcium, Bone Strength helps keep my bones strong. Even my doctor asked me what supplement I was using. Yay!
Marion G. Truesdale –
I have always taken additional calcium with my meals. At the time is was either calcium carbonate or calcium citrate or both. When I was 65, I took a terrible off a ladder and pretty much destroyed my right side and have had 5 surgeries so far. A couple of years after the fall, I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis. I started doing a lot of research on and about calcium and one of the things I found out was that it is not all about just the calcium but also about vitamins D3, K1, K2, Magnesium and others. Then I did more research on the kinds of calcium that were available on the market and I was surprised when I found New Chapter Bone Strength as it had it all in one and that was a blessing as I don’t like taking pills to begin with as I have to remember to take them in a certain order. I also like the fact that it is made from a source like red algae and not limestone. So, New Chapter and I started on a quest together and I am very glad to report that my osteoporosis is GONE after just two years on this regimen. It isn’t over as New Chapter Bone Strength calcium and I have formed a permanent bond as this 70-year old continues on with the confidence that I will never have to take fosamax and never did even though doctors were throwing the stuff at me. Thank you, New Chapter, for coming to my rescue at a pretty desperate time after my fall. Now my wife and oldest daughter are taking it as well.
