And taking AlgaeCal Plus and Strontium Boost can actually help with the health of your teeth. Read on below and see what Strontium Boost is about.

Four landmark studies have been conducted in the last 5 years, uncovering amazing increases in bone mineral density with Strontium supplementation

What is Strontium?

Strontium is a common element which is naturally found in your bones. Studies show supplementation with Strontium in its various forms is well tolerated and completely safe. Strontium lies directly below calcium on the periodic table of elements and that makes calcium, strontium and magnesium all in the same chemical family. They are all naturally occurring metals found in the soil, in foods, and in your body.

As an alkaline earth element, strontium is similar to calcium in its absorption in the gut, incorporation in bone, and elimination from the body through the kidneys. Strontium is naturally present in trace amounts with around 100 micrograms in every gram of bone, so when you supplement with strontium you are simply making more of this element available for incorporation into your bone.

New Strontium Clinical Evidence on Bones

A 2004 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that Strontium ranelate may be at least as good a treatment for osteoporosis as currently available oral drug therapies including Fosamax (alendronate), Actonel, (risedronate), Evista (raloxifene ), and the injectable hormone Forteo (teriparatide).

Post-menopausal women normally lose about 1% of their bone per year, but the Strontium ranelate studies are showing 3 year bone growth of 8.1 %! These exciting results were published in large phase three study that followed two other very positive multinational strontium clinicals. In this most recent study, 1,649 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis who had had at least one vertebral fracture were randomized to receive either strontium ranelate or placebo for three years. Both groups also took calcium and vitamin D with the strontium to achieve these results.

Strontium’s Double Benefit for Your Bones

Scientists have discovered Strontium has a unique method of action which provides a dual activity in your bones. Your bone cells are continuously growing and being re-absorbed at the same time; bone growth drugs or rock-based calcium effect only one side of the equation. Strontium inhibits bone re-sorption while simultaneously stimulating bone growth, an exciting double benefit. No other natural substance or drug is known to provide this dual effect.

Unlike Fosamax and Actonel, which work strictly by decreasing bone re-sorption, strontium increases bone mass.

A Few Comments Regarding the Use of Strontium Supplements

Please follow guidelines below to maximize Strontium’s benefits:

• Strontium supplements need to be taken along with adequate calcium consumption. Animal studies suggest strontium is not effective and may even be counterproductive if your calcium intake is not normal.
• For best results, do not take strontium together with calcium because these two chemically similar minerals compete at the sites of absorption. In the above noted studies, strontium was administered first thing in the morning, half an hour to an hour before breakfast, or three hours after the last meal of the day; they took their calcium supplements separately, with a meal.
• It should not be used as a treatment in children since it may alter the architecture of rapidly growing bones. No studies have been done using high dose strontium on children.
• Strontium is not a "magic bullet" and a comprehensive approach to regaining bone strength is needed. Other natural modalities of bone support include calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, vitamin K2, and weight bearing exercise.
