As you read in the a...To: Anonymous of 02/02/2015,<br /><br />As you read in the article, blood clots, which can lead to strokes and heart attacks, have not been associated with strontium citrate (SC). Of course, as a supplement, SC has not undergone the rigorous clinical trials required of prescription medications. <br /><br />At an osteoporosis support group, www.inspire.com,I met a member, Char42, who has a genetic blood clotting disorder and has had clots, including a pulmonary embolism. She had one of the clots while taking a bisphosphonate. She has been taking SC for 4 years with no problems. She took 680 mg for the first two years and then reduced the dosage to 340 mg. Her bone mineral density scores were some of the worst I have seen when she started taking SC. Her scores have steadily improved.<br /><br />I have never had a clot or stroke. However, my father had a deep vein thrombosis and required surgery after the clot was eliminated with Coumadin. My mother died of a massive myocardial infarction. I take a statin drug because I could not lower my cholesterol and triglycerides with diet alone. Despite my family history, I have been taking SC (680 mg strontium) successfully for 7 years. I take Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker, which is also available from Amazon, but I buy it from www.iherb.com.<br /><br />If you decide to take SC, be sure to also get adequate amounts of calcium, magnesium,& vitamin D. Vitamin K2 may help bones and prevent calcium from building up in arteries and other soft tissues. Try to get all or most of your calcium from food.<br /><br />I wish you the very best.BoneLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10034636499792659801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5970824698716563441.post-4846101967481278142015-02-02T10:12:47.657-05:002015-02-02T10:12:47.657-05:00I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Do ...I have just been diagnosed with osteoporosis. Do not like the idea of Bisphosphonates.<br /><br />Strontium Citrate looks like it is the only Strontium that I can get my hands on - I had a stroke 30years ago [aged 38] and the doctors will not prescribe Strontium [ranelate -live in UK].<br /><br />Here we can get Strontium Citrate from Amazon, at 750mg a day from Life Extension. I am just hoping that this will be OK for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
