- Excellent for use with Silica-20™ and other bone health supplements*
- Strontium citrate form for superior absorption
Supplemental strontium has been shown in scientific studies to support new bone formation, bone mass, and bone strength. In fact, nearly all the strontium in the human body is found in bone and connective tissues.*
While calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus are the primary trace minerals needed for bone health, they are not the whole story. Strontium is a necessary mineral for bone health, too.*
Strontium may support bone formation and healthy bone mineral density. Used in combination with Silica-20, Strontium aids in healthy bone formation and bone density.*
Since strontium and calcium compete for absorption, it is important to take this product two hours before or after a calcium-containing product.
Frequently Asked Questions
How safe is Strontium?
Strontium is very safe and non-toxic. This product contains strontium citrate, not strontium 90, the toxic radioactive form that may come to mind. Strontium citrate has been a safely used substance for over 100 years, and there have been studies using 2 grams of strontium with no significant side effects. While there are several forms of strontium in use today, strontium citrate is the most easily absorbed and used by the body.
However, strontium supplementation may be contraindicated for individuals with impaired renal function. Please consult your healthcare practitioner if this is a concern.
Can I take Strontium and a calcium-containing supplement at the same time?
For the best results, take Strontium at least two hours apart from when you take your calcium supplement. Both minerals compete for the same absorption pathways in the body, so it’s best to take them separately and with some time in between them.
