Doctor's Best Strontium Bone Maker Capsules, 340 mg, 360 Count

Oh my GOSH!!! I so hoped against hope that I could one day write a review on this product like all the others who went on and on about their improved DEXA scans, and now I can!! :-) YIPPEEEEEE!!I got osteopenia from having been on hydrocortisone for 8 years for an adrenal dysfunction. I had always had great bones up until then, the product of strength-training as an adult and lots of cheese as a kid and teenager.Took Tri-Boron Plus for many years to try and improve my bones, plus a little D3 and some magnesium. Result on DEXA scan? A LITTLE bit improved on some measures, and a lot worse on another one!Discouraged, I read up on what else I could do to improve my bone strength. At PubMed (the website reporting medical research for the Nat'l Institutes of Health), I found quite a bit about strontium. Here at Amazon, the reviews were superb. I elected to take 2 of these capsules at bedtime (so they wouldn't interfere with absorption of any calcium I got through my food during the day), plus magnesium, plus (in the morning) 20,000IU of vitamin D3.Now, 2.5 years later, I had another DEXA scan. I NO LONGER HAVE OSTEOPENIA!!! I had had it in 3 places, before! I cannot tell you how very excited and thrilled I am - I'm doing a jig, and I'm so happy that I can do a jig without worrying I will fall and break a bone! I don't even eat all that much calcium, either. I stopped the calcium supplement due to new findings that it can contribute to heart problems in women. But I eat cheese a couple of times a week, and lots of broccoli (high in calcium for a veggie). The radiologist was so impressed that she asked me what I had been doing differently, and took down the information about this supplement.Why don't doctors know about this necessary and very helpful bone-building element? When I told my doc I was taking this to build bone, he said, "Strontium isn't going to have very much of an effect." I can't wait till he receives the results of my bone scan!I'm going to try to post my last DEXA scans (the "calcium scans", better than the first ones but not fantastic), and then the ones from today (the "strontium" scans...Really, strontium + magnesium + 20,000IU/day of vitamin D3 till I got the D into the range of 50-70 on bloodwork). Here is literal proof that this product works! I'm going to continue taking it as insurance against old age and bone loss since I am 52.

this Alice , this is a great product. i have used it for 2 years . i have osteoporosis, and this has helped me so much. i am 1 of 7 girls in our family. my mom had it also. she was in very bad shape at the end of her life. we all have it also. i told my sisters about the product and 4 of them are taking it with great results. my bone scans have shown a great improvement since i started using it. so have my sisters. it is a natural product so we feel it is really safe for anyone to take. best results i have had, love the product.i got it on amazon , it was shipped to my house within 4 days it was so fast and easy

This supplement is supposed to assist calcium absorption in bone. It must be taken separately from the calcium. I take it in the morning, avoiding calcium until lunch time. I do not know yet if it has helped, I won't have a repeat DEXA scan for a while. I think it has helped me avoid kidney stones many people get when they take certain kinds of calcium, or too much calcium. Note: for optimal calcium absorption we also need VitaminD3 (or sunshine) and Vitamin K and other micronutrients.

Have been using Strontium Bone Maker for about three years and have seen a remarkable change in my bones. I was diagnosed with spinal osteoporosis and took Boniva for over 5 years with no better results. I heard about strontium on Dr. OZ and ordered it right away. My Dr. confirmed that there has been a significant improvement in my bone density since I started taking strontium and I plan to continue taking it. I think now I can take 1 capsule a day instead of the two. So this has worked for me. I discontinued taking Boniva three years ago.

This product has a stronger dose than the other strontium I tried before. So, I thought I'd try this instead of having to take two pills of the other. I ordered this and got it in a week...wow, very prompt! I gave this a three star rating only because I just got this and haven't had enough times that I have taken it to see its effects.

I have been taking this along with any supplement I use for bone strength. I showed it to my doctor and she said it couldn't hurt to try and she also liked this brand because it didn't contain many additives. I have no idea if it working or not but it is tolerated well and so I'll keep trying.

The price is right. Who's to say how effective strontium is for bone strength? But the doc recommends it, and so down it goes. Four stars because who knows what one is actually getting with these thingies, what with FDA regulations half-gutted and inspectors...aw, now I'm going off on a political rant. Maybe I should find another supplement for that.

I've read reviews that said the users had increased bone density after taking this product, so that's why I purchased it. I'll try to remember to update this review after my next bone density scan to let you know if it helped me.
