Swanson Strontium Citrate 340 Milligrams 60 Capsules

My nurse practitioner and I discussed the benefits of taking strontium for bone health as an alternative to alendronate. I've been on alendronate for over 2 years and am concerned about its' long term effects. We decided on a plan for me to try alendronate 35mg weekly along with strontium 340mg daily. This replaced my old regimen of alendronate 70mg weekly. I've been happier with this change and hope that my next bone density scan shows improvement.

Little known mineral that can help increase bone density more efficiently than calcium, without the need to bind to collagen for maximum absorption

We believe that taking strontium is far better than taking supplemental calcium. Strontium along with D3 and magnesium works for us! My husband is nearly 90 and is seriously concerning joining with a dragon boat team as a rower. No, he has never been a fitness buff. He started exercising 20 minutes 4 times a week about 4 years ago, but did take supplements before that..

Strontium Citrate was recommended to me about 6 years ago. My friend ordered hers from an independent supplier for about 4 times the cost as Swanson's brand. But I trusted Swanson's products so I buy their's. I have gotten the same benefit as my friend for a lot less money.\n\nGood product, good deal!

I find Strontium Citrate to be an important compliment to calcium supplements to maintain bone health. It IS important to follow directions on the bottle AND ALWAYS take more calcium than strotium citrate; about 1,000 mg calcium to a 340 mg strotium citrate cap. Taking more strotium citrate than calcium MAY lead to bone deformation over a long period of time. If you follow the directions, it should be safe and support good bone health.

To start, the only reason I rated 4 in 2 of the categories is because I don't have any tests to prove them. Through my study I learned that Strontium and Boron are as important to bone health as calcium. In reviewing my diet I know that I am getting enough calcium but not those other trace minerals. I was recommended a complex that is very popular and a bit expensive. The ingredients included strontium and boron, and high dose of calcium. That would put me in danger of too much calcium. Obviously, the answer was to get strontium and boron separately in a dose that is in balance with my diet. Swanson gives me that flexibility and at a great price.

the capsules work ok, problem is I ordered three,was charged for three and only received two. packaging was undamaged. someone mis-counted. will no longer order.

Because this product cannot be taken within 2 hours of taking calcium, and should be taken twice a day with a meal, I feel chained to a regimen that I didn't bargain for. I take over 30 supplements daily and really don't want to constantly watch the clock to take just this one. I'm now in the process of buying your powdered collagen. I'm hoping that will accomplish what I'm looking for. I'm sure that wasn't what you wanted to hear. Sorry!

Time will tell if it has the desired effect, so an honest evaluation is not really possible. However, the broken capsule that spilled on the others will be difficult to consume, even though some of its contents were on the remaining capsules making them bitter.
