I looked up Alive Bone Support. It contains strontium. Strontium is heavier than calcium so it makes your bones "look" denser on a DEXA Scan. That does not make stronger.

That's true and a lot of the formulas have that but this is a tiny amount and neither my endocrinologist or orthopedic guy think it's an issue. As with anything with bone health I hope they're right.

I also hope that science comes up with some better drugs for osteoporosis than they currently have on the market. I even wonder if they're doing bone scans young enough because I suspect a lot of girls are losing bone density early in part because of extreme dieting and erratic food habits. I wish there were PSAs geared to teens about osteoporosis. The other thing that bothers me about osteoporosis is that 67% of American women tested have osteoporosis. That means the remaining 33% are men and I have yet to have any of my male friends' doctors suggest a DEXA scan. I'm not certain why that's so because it's not as if we don't see older men who've lost height as they aged or developed back curvature and other issues or bone fragility.
