What Is It?
Strontium is one of many trace minerals essential for
bone health. It is a divalent cation and is transported
through the body using many of the same transport
molecules and receptors as calcium. Recent research
has highlighted strontium's potential to support bone
strength and health.*
Uses For Strontium
Bone Support: Strontium supports healthy osteoblast
differentiation and helps to keep osteoclast activity in
balance. Additionally, strontium supplementation supports
healthy collagen formation by osteoblasts, enhancing
bone tensile strength. In a multi-national, prospective
two-year placebo-controlled trial with 353 women,
strontium supplementation maintained healthy vertebrae
integrity as well as healthy bone mineralization. A
three-year placebo-controlled, double blind study with
1,649 postmenopausal women, indicated that a strontium
salt supported healthy vertebrae composition and was
well tolerated. In a preliminary analysis of a three-year
placebo-controlled, double blind study of 5,091
postmenopausal women, strontium supplementation
promoted healthy hip bones.*
What Is The Source?
Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral derived from
earthen ore and purified through a proprietary synthetic
reaction process with citric acid. The citric acid is derived
from corn dextrose fermentation. Vitamin C (ascorbyl
palmitate) is derived from corn dextrose fermentation and
palm oil. Hypo-allergenic plant fiber is derived from pine
cellulose.
