Strontium citrate (Algaecal) and fractures

There is an Inspire poster that is fairly well known, PhoneyBoney. She was also fracturing on bisphosphonates etc.; I believe that she took various drugs.
She self reports that after taking strontium citrate that she stopped fracturing.
The links which I sent you has a 2020 compilation of strontium research; in that compilation the scientists say that one reason strontium has such a high success of preventing fractures is because it seems to make something called "sacrificial bonds" which allow the bone to sustain more injury.

I don't know if this sacrificial bond is what stopped PhoneBoney's bisphosphonate fracturing, but it is possible.

I am interested in knowing how hard Strontium is on kidneys. I try to get all my calcium from milk, yogurt, cheese, leafy greens etc.

Thanks for the additional info. I fractured 13 months ago and have not fractured since so I hope I am on the right path now. I stopped Fosamax 11 months ago, was off all meds for 3 months, then did 4 months of Tymlos followed by two months off and now on teriparatide.
Knowing what I know now, I would never have taken Fosamax for as long as I did.
That is very interesting info regarding the "sacrificial bonds". Looking forward to diving into the info after work today.
I was on the Inspire forum shortly after my fracture was diagnosed but dropped it when I was told (in very bold and insistent terms) that Tymlos would give me cancer.
