Strengthen Your Bones with Strontium 🩻

Strengthen Your Bones with Strontium 🩻

Memorial Day is almost here! 🇺🇸 Whether you're planning a backyard BBQ, a trip to the beach, or just taking a moment to remember those who served, it's a great time to also focus on your health. One key element that often flies under the radar when it comes to bone health is strontium—a powerful mineral that plays a major role in strengthening your bones and preventing osteoporosis.

What Is Strontium & Why Does It Matter? 🦴

Strontium is a naturally occurring element that closely resembles calcium in the body. It has been shown to help maintain bone density and even stimulate bone growth, making it a crucial supplement for those looking to prevent fractures and osteoporosis.

Strontium was first discovered in 18th-century Scotland. It's an abundant trace mineral found in the earth's oceans and crust. Comparable to calcium, its function in the body is similar though it's only present in humans in small amounts. Besides bone health, strontium also has an effect on heart, parathyroid, and uterine function.

Studies show patients with osteoporosis had increased bone mass, less bone pain, and stronger bones with strontium supplementation. Strontium is thought to increase bone building while at the same time reducing bone breakdown. Osteoclasts, the cells that break down bone, have reduced cell function when exposed to strontium. Osteoblasts, the cells that build bone, can significantly increase bone density in as little as 14 days with strontium support.

According to a study published in the National Library of Medicine, strontium has a positive influence on bone tissue metabolism, helping to balance bone resorption (breakdown) and formation. This means stronger, healthier bones—something we can all benefit from as we age!

How Can You Incorporate Strontium Into Your Health Routine?

While strontium is found in small amounts in food like seafood and leafy greens, supplementing is often the best way to ensure you're getting the right dose. When taken alongside other essential bone-supporting nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K2, strontium can make a huge difference in overall bone health.

Strontium is available in supplement form, the most studied being strontium ranelate. But it can also be consumed by eating leafy greens, grains, and seafood. For best absorption strontium should not be taken at the same time as calcium supplements and always be taken with food. Be cautious using strontium if you have a history of blood clots or cardiovascular disease. Some evidence suggests it may increase the risk of blood clots. Be sure to ask your doctor if strontium is right for you.
