A posting about strontium and its reduction on fractures.

Strontium via ranelate significantly reduces vertebral fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporosis, showing about a 49% lower risk in the first year and around 41% over three years, with similar efficacy for non-vertebral fractures (around 16-19% reduction over three years), especially a 36% reduction in hip fractures in high-risk patients. It works by increasing bone mineral density and promoting bone formation while decreasing resorption, with benefits maintained over time.
