REMS Reports from BoneForte and Dr. Andy Bush

BoneForte was founded in 2022 by Dr. Andy Bush, who partnered with Dr. Susan Jones and others.

Dr. Bush is a Board-Certified Orthopedic Surgeon, practicing for almost 30 years. He trained at the University of Medicine and Dentistry - NJMS, University Hospital in Newark, NJ.  He has been providing orthopedic surgery care in Sanford, North Carolina for the past 17 years as an independent private practitioner. Recently, he shifted the scope of his orthopedic practice from fracture fixation to fracture prevention. He is a member of the International Society of Clinical Densitometry and he has trained to be proficient in DXA interpretation; however, what sets his Bone Health practice apart from other practices is his embracing of REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry) technology for densitometry and fracture risk determination. Currently, his practice is the largest clinical REMS practice in North America.


Boneforte's website includes six sample REMS reports from actual patients.

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.
