Osteoporosis treatment or strontium citrate?

I also posted this comment on another question:
I take New Chapter Bone Strength, another calcium supplement sourced from algae (red marine algae). Each serving contains 5.5mg of strontium, as it's naturally included in the algae. I'd like to know how much strontium is in AlgaeCal Plus, for comparison, but couldn't find the amount on the label or website. Does anyone know? AlgaeCal recommends taking their Strontium Boost (680mg strontium), but I'm concerned about the safety and how it might affect my DEXA scans.

New Chapter daily dose is 3 slim tablets. In addition to the trace amount of strontium, each serving contains Calcium, D3, K1, K2, Magnesium and Vanadium. It's sold on Amazon if you want to find the amounts of each. I've been taking this for 6 years and my osteoporosis levels have remained stable.

@ripley I didn't see strontium in AlgaeCal Plus, only in Strontium Boost. Your 5.5 mg is a lot less than the 680mg that is therapeutic. Not sure if 5.5mg affects DEXA but maybe a radiologist would know.

I have a concern about combination supplements since I separate calcium and magnesium by at least two hours because I was told they compete.
