About Strontium
Strontium is a chemical element that has various applications, including potential medical uses.
-
Bone Health: Strontium ranelate, a prescription medication, has been used to treat osteoporosis by increasing bone density and reducing the risk of fractures. However, its use is associated with potential side effects and considerations, so it should be prescribed and monitored by a healthcare professional.
-
Nuclear Medicine: Radioactive isotopes of strontium have been used in nuclear medicine for imaging bone tumors and assessing bone health. Strontium-89 and strontium-90 are examples of such isotopes.
-
Consumer Products: Strontium compounds are used in various consumer products, including fireworks, ceramics, and glass manufacturing, due to their ability to produce vibrant colors.
-
Catalysis: Certain strontium compounds can act as catalysts in chemical reactions, aiding in various industrial processes.
-
Environmental Impact: Strontium is a naturally occurring element and is released into the environment through activities such as mining and nuclear testing. It can impact soil and water quality.
-
Dietary Supplementation: Strontium citrate is sometimes used as a dietary supplement to support bone health. However, its safety and effectiveness are still debated, and its use should be approached cautiously under medical supervision.

Bioavailable citrate form
Strontium is a mineral element important for the normal structure and function of the skeletal system.† Nearly all strontium in the body occurs in bones, teeth, and connective tissue. Strontium supports strength of hydroxyapatite crystals in calcified tissues such as bones and teeth. Clinical studies show it supports bone metabolism by stimulating new bone formation and decreasing bone resorption.† Strontium citrate is a stable, nonradioactive form of strontium that can be used as a dietary supplement to support bones, teeth, and connective tissues.†

Ultimate Nutrient for Advanced Bone Health Support
Strontium has been prescribed in Europe for years to promote healthy bone aging. Strontium is a trace mineral whose metabolism is closely linked to that of calcium. (It resembles calcium at the molecular level.) Strontium concentrates in the skeletal system, where it plays a key role in supporting bone tissue density.
The suggested daily serving of 3 vegetarian Strontium Caps supplies 750 mg of this vital trace mineral. Strontium Caps are part of a daily nutrient regimen for individuals in need of especially comprehensive bone health support.
Take three (3) capsules once daily, or as recommended by a healthcare practitioner. For optimal absorption, take on an empty stomach and at least two hours apart from calcium, magnesium or antacids.
Serving Size: 3 vegetarian capsules
