Congratulations on moving to osteopenia from osteoporosis! I am considering taking strontium citrate. Do you mind if I ask what your bone density score was before and after? And did you experience any side effects from it? Also what was the brand you took?

I don’t remember the values right now. The interesting thing was I was taking prednisone for many years and I’m still taking it despite being on prednisone. I was still able to improve my bone density. I didn’t notice any side effects of anything that I took. I actually drew from two studies. The other study was in Canada. I did not take fish oil because it lowers my blood sugar and I have low blood sugar. I stopped taking strontium when I was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation because I was put on heart meds and I was afraid to mix them however, strontium is everywhere in the soil to greater or lesser degrees, so it is a natural substance. It has been postulated that, because we use artificial fertilizers commercially in this country, our diet doesn’t have natural strontium in it, and perhaps that has contributed to so much osteoporosis. Pure Encapsulations was actually the brand used for this study. I only used 340ng and it was enough.
