Totally agree. Stay away from Strontium. Your post puts it clearly, so thank you! I think many of us are obssessed with the T-Score. It's just a number and the cut-offs for osteopenia and osteoporosis were conjured up in the '90s by imperfect humans. Read Lani Simpson's book, "Lani's No-Nonsense Bone Health Guide" for info on this. What matters is your fracture risk, not your T-score. My T-score is -2.5 BUT my FRAX score (fracture risk) is excellent. Google and you'll find a way to calculate that. I have a very good trabecular bone score (TBS, which is, unfortunately, not done by many labs and docs, but luckily I have access to that.) I attribute my high score to rigorous diet and exercise. Turns out, with my TBS (trabecular bone score) my risk of fracture is extremely low. Yet with the -2.5 T-Score all the docs want me on bisphosphonates which don't agree with me. We all need more of the whole picture, not just a T-score.

Would you mind sharing what your diet, supplements, and exercise regimens are? I feel like I've altered my entire way of eating along with an increased amount of supplements and I'm always curious if I'm doing the right thing as far as diet goes.
