Product Notes:
Supports Mineral Bone Density
Most conventional supplements that promote themselves as helpful against bone loss are just that: they can be great for preventing bone loss, but do little to promote the building of new, strong, healthy bones.
AOR's Strontium Support II has two mechanisms of activity. It helps reduce the process of bone resorption: the breakdown of bones to release their mineral content. But when bone resorption occurs without the bone tissues and cells and cells being replaced, it leads to weakened bone structure, thus increasing the risk of fracture.
Strontium Support II also promotes the building of new bone tissue by increasing the absorption of the essential mineral strontium, which supports the function of osteoblasts (the cells which form new bone).
As Dr. Doug Lucas explains in the accompanying video, two studies have shown that this natural (as opposed to the pharmaceutical version, which can have serious side effects) form of strontium can improve bone mineral density and reduce bone turnover, when taken alongside other micronutrients such as vitamins D3 and K2.

Ingredients:
Each capsule contains:
Strontium (from citrate) … 341 mg
