Osteoporosis treatment or strontium citrate?

In reply to the comment that there are no studies showing strontium to be safe or effective. Here are two studies with comparisions from the excellent blog by BoneLady. It is probably best to be very careful when using absolutes in terms of no, never, none.

@kathleen1314, I completely agree that one has to keep an open mind with a healthy dose of skepticism and thorough evaluation. Thanks for correctly my statement. The blog post to which you refer was written in Feb 2017 and reviewed this Jan 2017 study (Mayo Clinic also participated in this study):
- Melatonin-micronutrients Osteopenia Treatment Study (MOTS): a translational study assessing melatonin, strontium (citrate), vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 (MK7) on bone density, bone marker turnover and health related quality of life in postmenopausal osteopenic women following a one-year double-blind RCT and on osteoblast-osteoclast co-cultures https://www.aging-us.com/article/101158/text
It's important to keep asking questions and pushing researchers to continue to find answers for a condition that affects 200 million people worldwide. Bone health is so important to our overall well-being.
