Since my last test on 6 September 2008 , I have been taking two tablets of my 600-mg calcium with Vitamin D instead but I have also been taking two to three cups of 3-in1 coffee daily.

(4) On the evening of 4 April 2009, at about 5.000 pm I visited Lian He Wan Bao Beauty & Healthcare Fair 2009 at Suntec.

I had a bone density test at Biocalth booth. Results = T-score = -1.3 and Stiffness = 89 meaning Low Bone Mass requiring me to take Biocalth 2 tablets 2 times daily.

Later in the same evening, I had another bone health check at Anlene (Milik) booth. My T-score this time was – 0.8 and Osteoporosis Risk was low.

(5) I had my Bone Density Test using an Achilles InSight Bone Densitometer at 6.41 pm on 11 July 2009 at the booth of "Wyeth Consumer Healthcare" at "Health & U" Mega Health Exhibition @ Suntec Convention Hall, jointly organized by The Straits Times Mind Your Body and Lianhe Zaobao LOHAS (11 & 12 July 2009).

At about 5.30 pm in the same evening (11 July 2009) my bone test results at Biocalth booth was the same, i.e. T-score was -1.2
