Strontium citrate (Algaecal) and fractures

Agree! Another basic question, at least it seems to me, is whether the European issue was a strontium or a strontium compound problem, ranelate versus citrate. The human-based research is largely with sodium ranelate, but it’s questionable to assign its benefits to strontium citrate, without also mentioning the risks, unless there is more study specifically with the citrate compound. Can’t have it both ways, at least in my opinion.

The European product withdrawn was Strontium Ranelate - I can't find the report right now.

There are still unanswered questions in the studies -
To date they have been conducted on mice or rats with induced osteoporosis, with durations of only a few weeks to months. Is there a difference between induced and natural osteoporosis?What would be the long-term effects in humans?

As @windyshores mentioned, nobody has yet answered the questions as to whether strontium-reinforced bones are less prone to fracture.
