Product Description

Size: 120 ea

The role of stable strontium in human bonestrontium is found naturally in the human skeleton. the level of strontium in bone tissue is approximately 3.5% of the calcium content of bone. strontium taken orally through the diet and from supplements is preferentially incorporated into the teeth and bones. research suggests that the oral absorption of strontium is dependent on age and decreases with increasing age. scientists have suggested two methods of absorption of strontium from the gastrointestinal tract: passive diffusion and carrier-mediated absorption. in adults, strontium is absorbed to a lesser extent than calcium, possibly due to the larger molecular size of strontium in comparison to the calcium molecule. both calcium and strontium compete with one another for absorption in the intestines. high dietary intake of calcium has been shown to reduce concurrent absorption of strontium. it has been proposed that when both elements are present together, twice the amount of calcium is absorbed from the intestines in comparison with strontium.animal studies suggest that extremely high dietary intakes of strontium, in the absence of adequate calcium intake, can actually disturb bone mineralization. at such concentration levels strontium replaces calcium ions in bone. the unbalanced incorporation of strontium into bone tissue in the place of calcium may cause a disturbance of the bone lattice, resulting in decreased bone mineral density.it is precisely for this reason that calcium intake must be adequate when supplementing with strontium.further studies in animals reveal that strontium given as apart of the normal diet (when calcium intake is adequate) may have profound effects on bone formation and density. oral administration of strontium doses to rats was shown to enhance the rate of bone formation and trabecular bone density.

This review is from: Doctors Best Strontium Bone Maker (Health and Beauty)

I had been diagnosed w/osteoporosis in a hip and osteopinia in my spine. (53 yrs. old) After five months of dealing w/side effects from the script my doc wanted me to continue taking, I went to my local natural products store.

On their recommendation I started taking Strongium Bone Maker (2 caps@night) coupled with New Chapter's Bone Strength Take Care (2 tablets@morning). I figured I'd give myself two years on this combo because that is how long it takes to show any difference in a bone scan. At the end of two years my spine showed an INCREASE of 8% in bone density (no more osteopenia!). My hip did not show improvement BUT there was no additional loss either! I did not exercise during that time. I have upped the morning dose to three tablets (the correct dose) and look forward to seeing Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker (340mg Elemental), 120-CountNew Chapter Bone Strength Take Care Val Pack, 144-count Boximprovment in two more years. I have had absolutely NO side effects from taking either of these items.

I've taken this product for one year and improved my bone density up to 7% (both spine and hips). No longer osteopenic. And no side effects. Why anyone would take those bisphosphonates with all the side effects (and expense) is beyond me. I'm very happy with Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker.

A year ago I had my bone density done and I lost 1/4 in my height. Im 55. I was told that I was on the warning side of osteoporosis . I took the Strontium religiously and this year when I got my height checked....... I had not lost any more height. Im going to keep taking it in hopes that I can re gain the little bit of height I already lost.
