Pure Encapsulations Strontium (Citrate) - Hypoallergenic Bone Health Supplement, 90 Capsules

Why Strontium for Bone Health?

Strontium is a trace mineral that naturally occurs in the body and is particularly concentrated in bone tissue. It plays a role in the natural bone remodelling cycle, where old bone is broken down and new bone is formed. By supporting the activity of osteoblasts (cells that build bone) and helping to regulate osteoclast activity (cells that break down bone), strontium may help maintain the balance necessary for healthy bone density. Research has indicated that strontium supplementation can support the integrity of vertebrae and hip bones, areas that are particularly important for overall skeletal strength.

What Is Strontium Citrate?

Strontium citrate is a bioavailable form of the trace mineral strontium. Unlike strontium ranelate, which is used as a pharmaceutical drug, strontium citrate is commonly included in dietary supplements designed to support bone health. The citrate form may aid absorption. As a nutritional supplement, it provides strontium to help maintain normal bone structure and strength.

How to Take Strontium Citrate

The recommended dosage is one capsule daily, taken with food to aid digestion. For optimal absorption, it is best to take strontium at a different time from calcium-rich meals or supplements, as calcium may compete for absorption. Always follow the directions on the label or consult your health care provider.

Who May Consider Strontium Supplementation?

Strontium citrate is often considered by individuals aiming to support long-term bone health, particularly postmenopausal women and older adults who may experience age-related changes in bone density. Those with a family history of bone concerns or individuals seeking to maintain an active lifestyle may also find strontium beneficial. As always, consult a health care professional before adding any new supplement.
