Kathleen, RATS!!! I was just getting ready to order AOR Ortho Bone Ultra and Strontium Support II when I did some research to see if there were any contraindications or adverse side-effects w/ my other medications. My heart dropped when I read about the Strontium citrate. Please take a look and give me your opinion: https://americanbonehealth.org/medications-bone-health/why-strontium-is-not-advised-for-bone-health/ Thanks so much, Sunny PS: As I'm sure you must know, there is a form of Strontium that is still available in England. It was the original form. But is not available in the US. But the Strontium Citrate here, has had it's share of problems such as increased heart attacks and blood clots. Oy vei. Sunny

Please pay attention to #1 of the Three Good Reasons NOT to Take Strontium. I think I mentioned that I had read this some time ago. Thx, Sunny

Sunny here are list after list of research done on different forms of strontium https://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/strontium-studies-and-research-articles/ https://www.inspire.com/groups/national-osteoporosis-foundation/discussion/strontium-does-it-prevent-fractures-research-articles-personal-stories/

Firstly, Strontium citrate has Never been associated with heart attacks or blood clots...That is strontium Ranelate, a man made drug.
Strontium citrate is found in seafood, water and in any plant grown in dirt containing strontium. Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral and is main active ingredient in Sensodyne toothpaste etc, etc, etc

Here are the three reasons that your article says not to take any strontium: 1. It will cause your DXA to read about 10% higher 2. Strontium is a supplement that is not regulated by the FDA.... 3. Strontium Ranelate not strontium citrate was tied by a survey in Europe to heart attacks, strokes and skin reactions

Here are my answers to these 3 reasons given not to take Strontium Citrate
1. I don't care if my Dxa reads 10 % higher all I care is that my Dxa goes up consistently
2. I get my strontium citrate from AOR and Canada does regulate their supplements...so I don't need FDA to do so
3. This study was for strontium ranelate. Strontium tied to a man made product ranelate. The use of strontium ranelate has never been approved in the U.S. or Canada and is now significantly restricted in Europe, while strontium citrate is freely available in both Europe and Canada.

Bottom line, everyone has to decide what chances they wish to take as they fight this disease. One can do nothing and hope for the best and run the risk of a life of fractures. One can choose Big Pharma meds and accept the side effects that go with them.

I chose to do years of research and then chose to try to follow the most conservative and as close to nature way of combating osteoporosis which I could find.
My numbers and no fractures speak for themselves:
2004 Femoral Neck -2.8
2019 Femoral Neck -.6

You will know what is best for you.
