Opti Strontium
First discovered in Strontian , Scotland , strontium is a mineral that is naturally present in food and water and in trace amounts throughout the skeleton. Naturally-occurring, stable strontium is non-toxic and should not be confused with its radioactive isotope. First used in the 1940s and 50s as a treatment for osteoporosis, strontium demonstrated significant benefits without side effects.
CLINICAL STUDIES
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial assessed the efficacy of strontium on vertebral fracture and improvement in bone mineral density (BMD). The study enrolled 1,442 postmenopausal women with osteoporosis and a history of a least one vertebral fracture. The women were treated with 1500 mg/day of calcium (diet + supplements) and vitamin-D (400 or 800 IU/d). In addition, one group was given 2000 mg strontium and the other group was given a placebo.
The results after three years of use:
1. Lumbar fracture risk was reduced by 41% in the strontium group compared with placebo.
2. With strontium, bone density increased by 12.7% (lumbar spine), 7.2% (femoral neck), and 8.6% (total hip).
3. Adjusting for strontium content at the lumber spine showed an increase in bone density of 6.8%.
4. Women in the strontium was also shown to significantly increase markers of bone formation.
5. Women in the strontium group has decreased markers of bone resorption.

Dr. Tenpenny's Comments:
"Standard therapies for menopausal osteoporosis, such as Fosamax, Actonel and Boniva, act to decrease bone resorption. They do not increase bone tissue mass. In fact, the drugs inhibit an already impaired bone forming capacity.'
NOTE: ALL of prescription drugs have the potential to cause jaw osteonecrosis (jaw bone deterioration and loss of teeth) that sometimes require radical surgical intervention.
Best plan?
Keep bones healthy before osteopenia begins. "Strontium, on the other hand, both decreases bone resorption and increases bone formation, resulting in significant increases in bone mineral density and reduced risk of fracture. This makes Strontium citrate a unique, safe and effective natural aid for osteoporosis resulting from multiple causes."
IMPORTANT: Calcium and strontium are absorbed through the same channels and should be taken at separate times. If the two supplements are taken together, the compete for absorption and both are less absorbed. Suggestion: Take strontium in the morning and calcium at bedtime.
