Thanks so much for sharing your experience with Strontium Citrate! That's very encouraging. I just started taking AlgaeCal and AlgaeCal Booster (their Strontium Citrate). Unfortunately, as a breast cancer survivor, my oncologist strongly advised me not to take HRT. I wonder if my AlgaeCal supplements, along with protein supplements, and weight-bearing exercise, will give me an impact similar to yours (?). I am 72 and fortunately have not experienced any fractures. While my DEXA scan results are bad (and have not been helped by years of being on Fosamax), my REMS scan results show that my hips and spine are quite strong, especially for my age. My fragility score for the hips shows a 3% chance of a fracture in the next five years. For my spine, my fragility score shows a 6-10% chance (not as good as my hips). Dr Andy Bush (who did the REMS scan) recommended HRT (as did my gynecologist), but as I mentioned above, my oncologist vetoed it.

There are lots of posters on Inspire that have never used any form of HRT or BHRT and just use strontium citrate. Their results are as good as or even better than mine. I just tell that I use BHRT because I come from an academic and programming background, and consider that all information needs to be presented in order to have the whole picture.

Here is a posting of strontium users and their stories. Might sort first to last because many of the stories are at the beginning with some discussions of other matters at the end.
