WELCOME TO STRONTIUM FOR BONES BLOG
Have you experienced or read about negative, and even dangerous, side effects from Fosamax (alendronate), Boniva (ibandronate), Actonel (risedronate), and other bisphosphonates prescribed for osteoporosis? If you have, then rest assured there is a safe, effective treatment for this condition. Strontium, primarily in the form of strontium citrate, is taken orally once a day. Studies have shown the bones it rebuilds may be stronger than those rebuilt by the bisphosphonates.

Development Plan for Strontium Malonate in U.S.
On August 16, 2010, Osteologix, Inc., filed its quarterly Q-10, a required financial statement. Part of the report is quoted here: "We believe that our available existing resources will provide liquidity to fund our planned operations, excluding any clinical trials, into the second quarter of 2011. Because the business of developing pharmaceutical products is time-consuming and expensive, and NB S101 (strontium malonate), our most advanced investigational drug, still must complete pivotal human clinical trials before it can be marketed, we will require additional financial resources to carry out our business strategy. The development plan for NB S101 will require a larger phase 2 and/or phase 3 clinical trial that we estimate will take at least two years to complete. After or possibly concurrent with our next clinical trial, either one or two similar or potentially larger phase 3 trials will be required. We are seeking a third party development partner with substantially more resources than us for further clinical development in the United States, and we do not expect to proceed with further U.S. clinical development until we enter into a development agreement with such a partner Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements."

How Strontium Builds Bones
Strontium is a mineral that tends to accumulate in bone. Studies have shown that oral doses of strontium are a safe and effective way to prevent and reverse osteoporosis. Doses of 680 mg per day appear to be optimal. See my "For More Information About Strontium" links section.
Osteoporosis is caused by changes in bone production. In healthy young bones there is a constant cycle of new bone growth and bone removal. With age, more bone is removed and less new bone is produced. The bones become less dense and thus more fragile.
Scientists believe that strontium works in two ways. It may stimulate the replication of pre-osteoblasts, leading to an increase in osteoblasts (cells that build bone). Strontium also directly inhibits the activity of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone). The result is stronger bones.
When taking strontium, be sure to take 1200 mg calcium, 1000 IU vitamin D3, and 500 mg magnesium daily. It is best to take strontium late at night on an empty stomach. Calcium and strontium may compete with each other for absorption if taken together.
