Strontium can have side effects and so you should make sure you don’t have any arterial sclerosis, and there is a slight uptick in blood clots so check with your doctor first. Also let me say that one DEXA scan may not be truthful either way. I had that problem! Also, you should know that not all DEXA tests are quality measurements. They need to be done on the same machine on the same calibrated equipment. There is also something called- TBS and it’s a contemporary test that’s done with software analysis that is highly predictive and accurate.
Also, please use information which has been “peer reviewed“ has been clinically, tested on a good number of people so there is scientific data to measure with any result. In other words use scholarly data as a basis for any kind of important decision-making when it comes to your body. Please see my post my subsequent post I post the scholarly research that includes the strontium. It seems to begood for some people and not good for others..
I can’t find my comment, but I had posted a skeptical reply to the Strontium. But someone posted a scholarly article that included it so it does seem that it’s not the medicine for people who have arterial sclerosis or heart disease and it works better on people that have a measurable extreme amount of osteoporosis, but you can read this for yourself It has many more clinical analysis on other things you may be trying. I don’t think you need to understand the whole thing you can skip around to the subjects that interest you: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6465575/
work with your doctors. Hopefully you are with an experienced endocrinologist. If not, get more opinions. good luck!
I’ve been on Alendronate 70mg 1x week pill with zero side effects.
