WELCOME TO STRONTIUM FOR BONES BLOG

Have you experienced negative, and even dangerous, side effects from Fosamax (alendronate), Boniva (ibandronate), Actonel (risedronate), Reclast (zoledronic acid), Prolia (denosumab), Forteo (teriparatide), Tymlos (abaloparatide), or other drugs 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.

Strontium Citrate Protocols

If you decide to take strontium citrate, you need to ensure you are also getting adequate calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, other vitamins and minerals, and protein. You can get these nutrients from a combination of diet and supplements. Choosing a supplement plan, or protocol, that is right for you can be as simple as choosing one of the three protocols described in this post or by modifying one of them with your own choice of supplements. 

Protocols for Osteoporosis:

 COMB                                                                                 BoneLady 
Strontium citrate                   680 mg                                                  680 mg
Vitamin K2 (MK7)               100 mcg                                                none
Vitamin D3                         2000 IU                                                 1000 IU
Docosahexanoic acid (DHA)250 mg                                                 none
Magnesium                             25 mg                                                  250 mg*
Calcium                       Dietary sources                                    500 mg*  

*BoneLady takes a supplement tablet that contains 250 mg Mg and 500 mg Ca. In addition, she gets about 700 mg Ca from food for a total of about 1200 mg Ca per day.  

Protocol for Osteopenia:

MOTS 
Strontium citrate     450 mg
Vitamin K2 (MK7)     60 mcg
Vitamin D3            2000 IU*
Melatonin                    5 mg
DHA                             none
Magnesium                  none    
Calcium                          * 

*In addition to study medication, participants in the MOTS study were allowed to take less than 1000 IU of vitamin D3 and less than 1000 mg of calcium daily.

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.
