I assume that you mean strontium citrate dosing. The only information which I can give you is what the research says. As per the research, 680 mg daily of strontium has a positive impact on osteoporosis. As per the research, 480 mg daily of strontium seemed to work on osteopenia.

What any of us decide to take for our osteoporosis is a complicated decision made up frequently of as much how we feel as what the research says. We need to feel safe and comfortable in our decisions in our own thoughts and taking into consideration our doctor's input because they frequently have a good handle on our medical history and what is causing our osteoporosis. So be sure and talk with a good endocrinologist and have all the appropriate tests. My endocrinologist told me that I did not need him any more and to change nothing.
One thing to bear in mind is that you may start and stop strontium citrate easily; that is not the case with some osteoporosis drugs.

@kathleen1314 I took strontium and it seemed to change me from osteoporosis to osteopenia. Then I developed atrial fibrillation and was afraid to keep taking it because strontium displaces calcium in the bone. Calcium is involved in heart health. Once my Afib was ablated I resumed strontium. Then I got palpitations- and a kidney stone . So stopped.
There is more natural strontium in organic foods so I am
going that route. Commercial fertilizers, it seems, lack this natural mineral. I am 83 on long term steroids.

@kathleen1314 so which strontium do you recommend and by which company?
