Within a few days of not taking it, I could tell a difference in how my back felt. So I restarted slowly and worked up. I've sure appreciated your blog. You're very scholastic in presentation. As a journalist, I really appreciate someone who produces their sources.Mayanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-68929236919034381502018-10-18T10:37:03.354-04:002018-10-18T10:37:03.354-04:00Dear Maya,
I also had noticed the change in direc...Dear Maya,<br /><br />I also had noticed the change in directions from two capsules to one capsule daily and had assumed the company was just being cautious. <br /><br />As you know, 680 mg strontium is the clinical dosage recommended for treating osteoporosis with strontium ranelate (SR). A supplement company cannot claim its products treat any medical condition. So, recommending half the dosage for strontium citrate (SC) is a subtle way of acknowledging that the product is a supplement for promoting healthy bones, not for treating osteoporosis. <br /><br />The last sentence on the label under “Caution,” states: “Those who have or are at high risk for blood clots, heart diseases and/or circulatory, or have kidney disease must not use this product.” <br /><br />The list of cautions was developed from studies of SR, not SC, but the Canadian health authorities made AOR and other companies selling SC in Canada add warnings to their SC products, anyway. <br /><br />AOR’s comment to you that the dosage recommendation was lowered because “some customers who take blood related medications can experience clotting symptoms at higher doses" means that customers taking blood anticoagulants (blood thinners) because they are at high risk of developing blood clots, could experience clotting if taking SC at higher doses. <br /><br />I am still taking two capsules of AOR Strontium Support II. I have had no negative side effects in almost 11 years of taking SC. <br /><br />You have to do what’s right for you. I wish you well whatever you decide.BoneLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034636499792659801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-79112781003363439022018-10-17T21:30:42.736-04:002018-10-17T21:30:42.736-04:00When I received my new bottle of AOR Strontium Sup...When I received my new bottle of AOR Strontium Support II, I noticed first the label change and then the decrease in serving size to one pill. I wrote them and this is their reply: <br /><br />"The dosage has changed from what I believe was 682 mg to 341 mg. The serving size says 1 on the new bottles, but you can take 2 to get up to the original 682 mg. This was done as some customers who take blood related medications can experience clotting symptoms at higher doses."<br /><br />I'm seriously thinking of dropping strontium from my supplements. I thought this was the answer, but I'm reading more and more negative reports about strontium citrate. How is anyone to know what is best for them?<br /><br />I know you can't answer this either, but it is certainly frustrating.<br /><br />MayaDragonflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06758412465482597229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-59354225325407661602018-08-04T12:34:32.287-04:002018-08-04T12:34:32.287-04:00To Anonymous of 8/2/18:

The capsule is made of hypromellose, glycerin and purified water. I like that Advanced Orthomolecular Research was the first company in the world to deliver strontium citrate (SC). That fact is stated on the company's website. I like that this SC is manufactured in Canada using GMP manufacturing, quality assurance, and independent testing. I trust the company. I'm sure there are other good SC products, but this is the one I take.BoneLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034636499792659801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-45088309558589518902018-08-02T13:04:02.622-04:002018-08-02T13:04:02.622-04:00What brand of strontium citrate do you recommend?What brand of strontium citrate do you recommend?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
