Reviews Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker 340mg Elemental

I have been using this Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker since I started medications for Acid Reflux, this class of medicine can cause Osteoporosis. The Strontium helps build bone. To me a necessity. When I began I had osteopenia in both my hips and spine. My hips were quite close to being at the osteoporosis level. After taking the Strontium for 6 months, I was scheduled for a bone density test.

The density increased in both areas about 6%. Now, 1 years later, I took another bone density test. My spine is now perfectly normal, and the hips just have slight osteopenia. My doctor had been trying to get me on a prescription drug which I was resisting. This visit he agreed that I didn't need it. What a relief and what a great product!

• Has an affinity for bone and is taken up at the bone matrix crystal surface
• Positively affects bone metabolism to promote bone formation
• Decreases bone resorption
• Leads to normalized bone density
• The influence of Strontium on the bone metabolism has been researched since the 1950's

The level of strontium in bone tissue is approximately 3.5% of the calcium content of bone. 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. 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.

After 2 years of taking Strontium my bone density test has improved slightly. Something is better then nothing. Calcium in the morning, Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker 340mg Elemental at night. Don't take them together! Highly recommended.
