Strontium citrate for increased bone mass

[vinn98]

Strontium has a two-way effect on bone tissue. On the one hand, this element promotes formation of new bone tissue. By affecting osteoblasts, it increases their proliferation and differentiation. This is indicated by an increase in the expression of osteogenic genes such as Runx, ALP, BSP, and BGP [8].

New vertebral fractures occurred in fewer patients in the strontium ranelate group than in the placebo group, with a risk reduction of 49 percent in the first year of treatment and 41 percent during the three-year study period (relative risk, 0.59; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.48 to 0.73). Strontium ranelate increased bone mineral density at month 36 by 14.4 percent at the lumbar spine and 8.3 percent at the femoral neck (P<0.001 for both comparisons). There were no significant differences between the groups in the incidence of serious adverse events.

Treatment of postmenopausal osteoporosis with strontium ranelate leads to early and sustained reductions in the risk of vertebral fractures.

You can buy it without prescription as strontium citrate.

interesting, what type of side effects?
Also if this helps with bone growth, will help grow taller at young age?

no, most people here needs sodium nitrate

 

[vinn98]

interesting, what type of side effects?

It has no side effects except in rare cases it can cause heart issues. That's why you need to take it with vitamin K2 which moves calcium to your bones instead of arteries. Strontium is basically a much denser form of calcium.

Also if this helps with bone growth, will help grow taller at young age?

No study has ever been done to investigate that. If you take it you should take calcium as well but at least 2 hours apart.

so cheese + d3 + k2 + this may help with being bone mogger

i've heard that calcium by itself is better

Good info, thanks for sharing

Intresting

bump, can someone confirm this

RESULTS: Comparing to the control group, histological results revealed thicker bone trabeculae in the study group with narrower bone marrow. The histomorphometric analysis also showed significantly higher percentage of new bone per field in the study group. CONCLUSIONS: Strontium citrate supplementation could enhance bone consolidation throughout the distraction osteogenesis.

Strontium clathrates mog

Good thread

increased bone mass != increased bone volume

interesting rabbit hole nonetheless

increased bone mass != increased bone volume

interesting rabbit hole nonetheless

It increases geometric bone size too

Over 5yr, significant decreases in some femoral dimensions of the placebo group contrast with significant increases in strontium ranelate group after adjustment for age and BMD.

Hip cortical thickness assessment in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and strontium ranelate effect on hip geometry - PubMed

The aims of this study were to assess the relationship between hip geometry and the 5-yr risk of hip fractures in postmenopausal osteoporotic women and the effects of strontium ranelate on these parameters. Using the 5-yr data of a randomized placebo-controlled trial of strontium ranelate...

TL;DR give me a number

Like bro, the paper you posted talks about "postmenopausal women". It's not gonna do anything in a young human male. Or really anybody who doesn't already have an advanced stage of osteoporosis, will it?
