"The recommended dose for treatment of osteoporosis is 2 g of strontium ranelate daily,"
That reads 2 g of strontium ranelate and not 2 grams of strontium. Big difference. The molecular weight of strontium ranelate is 513 while that of strontium is 87.62. The 2 g of strontium ranelate is equivalent to 340 mg Strontium.

@normahorn There are 2 Sr per molecule of strontium renelate. That would be equivalent to 680mg of Strontium.
