Well, it is a bit more nuanced than that.
Strontium citrate, like all supplements, the FDA regulates strontium citrate as a dietary supplement, which means it does not undergo the same pre-market safety and efficacy testing as prescription drugs.
To contrast with Canada: In Canada, strontium citrate is regulated as a Natural Health Product (NHP), while in the United States, the FDA monitors it as a dietary supplement.
In Canada, supplements are regulated more strictly than in the U.S., but they are not regulated exactly like prescription drugs. While the U.S. FDA treats supplements as a sub-category of food, Health Canada treats them as Natural Health Products (NHPs), a special category of non-prescription drugs.
This is pertinent for several reasons, one being that many of us get our strontium citrate from AOR , regulated in Canada.
No, Bone Lady is the owner. She is also a frequent poster on Inspire.
She has a fabulous blog which also posts interviews with scientists and doctors. She posted an interview with Dr. Hans the developer of TBS which is now used in many articles and in AI information.
