I am new today reading your very informative responses. I am age 78 with osteoporosis porous needing help. I have fractured jaw and cannot use any of the usual meds. I stumbled on Strontium citrate as a possible help. So am learning and liking what you guys are telling me
I guess I mistook Strontium Citrate with Strontium caltrate when I read referrals to Lioness. I am so happy to have found this wonderful Mayo Clinic Connect!

Hello @flmargie, Welcome to Connect, an online community where patients and caregivers share their experiences, find support and exchange information with others. I'm sorry to hear about your fractured jaw. I'm sure that must be painful, as well as uncomfortable and difficult to manage. Strontium Citrate and other supplements should be discussed with your doctor to make sure it's safe for you to take. Here's some troubling information I found on Strontium Citrate that would cause me concern.

Has your doctor suggested any alternatives to the usual meds that you are not able to use?
