Increases Skeletal Strength and Helps Maintain Bone Density
Bone is the rigid structure that makes up our skeleton, but is actually an active, living organ that is constantly being built up and broken down by osteoblasts and osteoclasts. The proper balance of this cycle and turnover of bone provides the foundation for strong bones over a lifetime.
Strontium is a mineral that is similar physical and chemical properties to calcium. Research has shown strontium provides all-natural bone support through its ability to naturally increase the formation of osteoblasts (cells that build up bone) and slow down the formation of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue), helping to maintain healthy bone density.
Suggested Use:
1 capsule two times per day or as recommended by your health care professional. For maximum absorption, do not consume with calcium supplements.
Benefits
Bone and Skeletal Health A growing body of research highlights the benefits of strontium in skeletal health. A head-to-head study comparing SrC to strontium ranelate (SrR) in rats found both forms deliver equivalent amounts of elemental strontium. In the study, equivalent doses of both forms of strontium or placebo were given and assimilation into bone was compared for 19 weeks and followed for another eight weeks. The study confirmed the equivalent delivery of SrC into bone compared to SrR and potential of SrC to support bone structure.
