Strontium is an important mineral for bone health and is found in most foods containing calcium.
Although supplements like calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin K maintain bone health, and conventional bone health medications reduce bone breakdown, strontium actually helps rebuild bones. It does this by increasing osteoblast production while decreasing osteoclast production, leading to increased bone growth and decreased bone loss. Because strontium's molecular structure is similar to calcium, it is believed to activate calcium receptors in bone, stimulating new bone formation and prompting the body to efficiently use calcium in bone tissue, while inhibiting bone breakdown. Strontium Support II is an excellent complement to calcium supplementation for people with osteoporosis or osteopenia, postmenopausal women, or those at increased risk of bone fractures.
In 2002, AOR introduced the world's first strontium citrate supplement for people with osteoporosis, osteopenia, postmenopausal women, and those at increased risk of bone fractures.
AOR's Strontium Support II is available in two sizes and provides an effective dose of this bone health powerhouse in a convenient one to two capsule per day formula.
