Drug Name: Strontium Bone Maker
Drug Uses: Strontium Bone Maker promotes healthy osteoblast activity while maintaining healthy osteoclast activity to support healthy bones.
How Taken: As a dietary supplement, take 2 caps daily, or as directed by a health care practitioner.
Drug Class and Mechanism Strontium is a bone-seeking mineral incorporated by ionic substitution for calcium onto the crystal surface of bone.4 Researchers have looked at the therapeutic potential of strontium based on in vitro, animal and human studies. After assessing and analyzing the results of several investigations, scientists theorize that strontium may benefit bone health via a two-pronged effect. It appears that strontium interacts with the cells responsible for the normal bone remodeling process. The cells responsible for bone formation are known as osteoblasts, and the cells responsible for bone breakdown, or resorption, are called the osteoclasts. Strontium may stimulate the replication of pre-osteoblasts, leading to an increased proliferation of osteoblasts (cells that build bone). This causes an increased synthesis of bone matrix. In terms of effects on osteoclasts (cells responsible for bone resorption), in vitro work shows that strontium directly inhibits their activity and prevents bone breakdown.
Missed Dose If you miss a dose of Strontium Bone Maker, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular dosing schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.
