Strontium is a mineral that actually helps rebuild bone. While supplements like calcium, vitamin D and vitamin K maintain bone health, and conventional bone drugs reduce bone degradation, strontium actually increases osteoblast production while decreasing osteoclast production, resulting in increased bone development and decreased bone loss. Since strontium is similar in molecular structure to calcium, strontium is thought to activate the calcium receptors in the bone, stimulating osteoblast production and telling the body to use calcium effectively in bone tissue while inhibiting osteoclast production. A recently published study showed that strontium was not only safe to take over the course of 10 years, it continued to reduce the risk of osteoporotic fractures throughout the study.
