@kathleen1324,
I am still off Strontium. Since I have too much calcium in my urine, I have been afraid to take it. I thought that since it is so similar to calcium, it could increase my chances of a kidney stone. I know in my own experience that it improved my DEXA scores. There was a study cited on this forum that showed that Strontium helps some. Are you able to cite the research you are referring to or tell us how to find it? Thanks so much for posting about this.

Firstly, strontium has never been tied to kidney stones, but maybe there is a first.
I know that vit k is frequently used to route calcium to the bones rather than the blood. But since I don't know your medical history then I just can't say anything about calcium in your urine. You need a series of tests from an osteoporosis endocrinologist to be sure.
I just was making the point that any time you don't give your body the nutients which it needs to grow bone be it calcium or any other supplement that your bones will lose density. It is not unique to strontium.
I assume that you are referring to the TBS with DEXA research when you ask for research
which I referred to"?
Here is a link to a posting on TBS with DEXA that rates strontium users in the top 3 for density and bone quality.

Here is another posting on a compilation of strontium research and how it works to prevent fractures and improve density and bone quality.
