Description
Strontium is a mineral that is similar physical and chemical properties to calcium. Research has shown strontium provides bone support through its ability to increase the formation of osteoblasts (cells that build up bone) and slow down the formation of osteoclasts (cells that break down bone tissue) helping to maintain healthy bone density. As a result, strontium imparts a balancing effect on the osteoblastic-osteoclastic ratio and boosts skeletal strength via two different mechanisms. Strontium’s ability to strengthen both the bone matrix and skeletal density makes it an important part of any bone-building regimen.
