Drug Name

Strontium Bone Maker

Drug Uses

Strontium Bone Maker promotes healthy osteoblast activity while maintaining healthy osteoclast activity to support healthy bones.

How to use

As a dietary supplement, take 2 caps daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner.

Drug Class and Mechanism

Strontium is a bone-seeking mineral incorporated by ionic substitution for calcium onto the crystal surface of bone.4 Researchers have looked at the therapeutic potential of strontium based on in vitro, animal and human studies. After assessing and analyzing the results of several investigations, scientists theorize that strontium may benefit bone health via a two-pronged effect. It appears that strontium interacts with the cells responsible for the normal bone remodeling process. The cells responsible for bone formation are known as osteoblasts, and the cells responsible for bone breakdown, or resorption, are called the osteoclasts. Strontium may stimulate the replication of pre-osteoblasts, leading to an increased proliferation of osteoblasts (cells that build bone). This causes an increased synthesis of bone matrix. In terms of effects on osteoclasts (cells responsible for bone resorption), in vitro work shows that strontium directly inhibits their activity and prevents bone breakdown.

Missed Dose

Possible Side Effects

Strontium Bone Maker is not known to have any side effects if taken as per the prescribed dosage.

More Information

Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral present in water and food. Trace amounts of strontium are found in the human skeleton. Strontium has an affinity for bone and is taken up at the bone matrix crystal surface. The influence of strontium on bone metabolism has been researched since the 1950s. Studies show that strontium positively affects bone metabolism to promote bone formation and decrease bone resorption, leading to normalized bone density. Strontium citrate is a naturally occurring compound supplying stable strontium that is safe and suitable for consumption as a dietary supplement.
