Strontium Citrate Products



Although I have occasionally bought my strontium at www.amazon.com, I usually buy it at www.iherb.com, which ranks its brands by popularity within categories. For example, if you search “strontium,” the eight products listed below will appear. I buy one of the number-2-ranked products, AOR, Strontium Support II, 120 veggie-caps. Buying the larger bottle is cheaper than buying the number-5-ranked 60-capsule bottle of the same product. Buying two or more bottles gives you quantity discounts at iHerb.

If you buy AOR products directly from the manufacturer at www.aor.us, you can use the code, aor25off, for 25% off your entire order. This code will work until the end of 2018 and can be used multiple times.

Nature's Life and AOR claim to follow Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). The GMP designation is very important in assuring quality. Check with each manufacturer’s website for full details.

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.
