Strontium citrate (Algaecal) and fractures

Posted by pami @pami, Apr 15, 2024

I am looking to see if there are any studies done that show a reduced chance of fracture from using Strontium citrate (Algaecal) as opposed to calcium. Everything I have read only mentions increase of density using it. Does anyone have doctor input or a study showing an decrease in bone fractures?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I thought I read somewhere on this forum that taking strontium makes your Dexa scores invalid because strontium absorbs the x-rays from the Dexa more than calcium. So, your t-scores appear to have improved, when your bone density hasn't actually improved. It would be interesting to see if the people having the improved t-scores after taking Algae-cal showed improvement when a REMS Echolight scan was used instead (which doesn't depend on x-rays.). I'm not for or agains Algae-Cal BTW. But I remember someone saying that Dexa scores had to be adjusted if you took strontium.

That’s a very good question. I would also like to know this.

I incorporated the mcronutrients from these 2 studies except for melatonin, dha.
I was too weak to exercise but my bone density improved. Lots of dietary calcium.

That melatonin study is fascinating It sort of jives with what David Sinclair says in Life Span about those brown cells. I take melatonin now and then but will do it more regularly Thanks Here is the study I find more interesting https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12035697/

This study appears to have been funded and run totally by the developer, Ag-Novo. Are there any independent studies reporting the same results?

I know, it's weird. Also I contacted one guy I saw at the company, said "where can I get this," and nothing back.
