Strontium is a dual-action agent that both reduces bone resorption and increases high quality bone formation. One pharmaceutical company claims that it could fundamentally change the treatment paradigm of patients with osteoporosis.
WHAT IS STRONTIUM?
Calcium Magnesium
Strontium is one of the most abundant elements on our planet. There is a higher percentage of strontium in the earth's crust than carbon... and it is the most abundant trace element in our oceans. Of special interest to people concerned about osteoporosis is that the human body contains approximately 320 mg. of strontium-most of which can be found in the bones and connective tissue.
Unlike the radioactive strontium-90 that contaminated our food and water after nuclear weapon testing in the 50s, natural strontium has been used for osteoporosis treatment long before the pharmaceutical industry took an interest in bone health.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?
Research has shown that strontium can make a significant contribution to bone health without any apparent side effects. From 2002 to 2007, the French pharmaceutical company Servier conducted a study on 1,649 women with osteoporosis over a three year period and found an increase of 14.4 percent in lumbar bone mineral density and 8.3 percent increase in the femoral neck. A later study conducted over five years on 5,000 women with osteoporosis found a 9.8% improvement in total hip density.
CALCIUM AND VITAMIN D ARE ESSENTIAL
While strontium is clearly an outstanding form of osteoporosis treatment, it only improves bone health when combined with 1,500 mg of calcium and 800 IUs of vitamin D daily. To complicate things further, calcium supplements are best absorbed in 500 mg. increments and when taken with meals. Strontium, on the other hand, is most effective when taken on an empty stomach (2-3 hours after a calcium supplement or meal) and before going to bed.
Many people find this regime too demanding. In recognition of this, pharmaceutical companies have developed drugs that can be taken once a week and are now searching for a pill or injection that can be taken annually in a doctor's office. These solutions, however, are often accompanied by significant side effects.
For those who have the discipline and determination to take three pills a day....strontium is an invaluable alternative for osteoporosis treatment. It is also an affordable treatment, as a program of strontium citrate, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium and vitamin K can be purchased for less than 0 a year.
