@rtelega the COMB protocol includes the therapeutic strontium dose of 680mg. It is important that people know that strontium throws off future DEXA scans at that dose, because strontium replaces calcium in the bone and is denser. Also, strontium does have possible cardiovascular side effects.
When I looked up the COMB study I also saw that strontium is less effective for awhile after a bisphosphonate.
If osteoporosis is severe, this protocol may not work quickly enough or intensely enough so a bone builder may be needed. Ask your doc!
(Tymlos and Forteo do not cause the atypical fractures and dental issues that bisphosphonates and Prolia do, and are more effective if taken first according to studies. I would check if the COMB protocol affects the effectiveness of those meds.)
What is COMB protocol?
Can you tell me where I can find the COMB PROTOCOL . Thank you .
