@kayabbott, thank you for sharing additional links. The first link for Why Strontium is Not Advised for Bone Health is an interesting read.
Have you had a chance to look through that one? In particular, there was a passage that said " Strontium… results in an overestimation (up to 50%) of the increase in bone density using DXA methods." It referenced 'The Osteoporosis Manual' by Reiner and Christopher Bartl as its source.
As with many supplements and studies, more information is needed to garner any scientific conclusions. There are potential risk factors with strontium products as well that are being studied which include possible kidney and heart complications.
Patients and Connect members should consult with their providers before adding any supplements or medications to their regimen. This is especially important if a person is considering a supplement in place of a recommended medication from their medical provider.
