I was diagnosed with osteoporosis over a year ago. After taking strontium citrate for a year my recent scan showed that my bone density had increased significantly and I am no longer in the osteoporosis category! I plan to continue taking it and hope to eventually get out of the osteopenia category too.

I had not seen side effects on Strontium bottle which I bought at a vitamin store. I started taking for a month. Then I realized I had headaches and took blood pressure and it was elevated. Then read that should not take with history of high blood pressure.

Just started taking Grow Bone for low bone density. I have problems with diarrhea type symptoms, kind of strange really. It is very discomfiting and not sure if I should continue. I stopped for 3 days and went back to normal. I think I should probably stop if symptoms persist.

2 1/2 weeks after starting to take strontium citrate, I developed a blood clot in my leg. I knew that strontium renelate had caused blood clots, but no such info on strontium citrate.

I started taking this when my bone scan showed osteopenia. I took AlgaeCal and Stronium for about 3 months. This June 2019, I wound up in the ER with burning, scalding feet first, then my lips(like I had several habanero peppers in my mouth) and then felt like my whole body was on fire. I started researching and this stuff is sheer POISON. DO NOT TAKE IT!! I'm seeing a neurologist, a cardiologist and hopefully an endocrinologist soon and praying this poison has not done damage to my once healthy body. Companies should be ashamed of themselves for selling this crap!! They should be made to reimburse me for the emotional, psychological and financial damage done to me!!! I really thought I was dying!Read More Read Less

Your warnings on high doses does not say what is considered high. So the information is useless.

I have been taking it for over 7 years. At first, I took 2 pills daily. Last few years I reduced it to just one. My bone density has been improving slightly or staying the same. Much better than Evista. I took Evista 7 years and got nowhere. With Strontium and calcium I made a lot of progress.

I have taken strontium for about four years and my bone density has improved from osteoporosis to osteopenia. I take it at bed time.

I've been taking strontium for many years along with Advacal ultra and I frequently fall because of the neuropathy in both feet and I've never broken a bone. I have a family history of breaking bones very easily and at 74 years old and numerous falls I'm very pleased that thus far I haven't broken any bones at all.

I took 2 capsules (680 mg total) as directed on the bottle of Doctor's Best. I took it 2 hours from food or calcium. I used it 3 days at which time I had to stop. It was causing a lot of stomach pain and I became very irritable and anxious. I also was losing sleep.

I had been prescribed anesterzole after breast cancer. Previous to this I was diagnosed osteopenia. Within one year on the medication, I was in a lot of pain in my joints. The med was removed and replaced with tamoxifen. I was tested and was diagnosed with osteoporosis. I started on strontium with vitamin k and vitamin d. After 2 years I was again tested for bone density. I am now within the normal range of bone density with no diagnosis of osteoporosis or osteopenia. My oncologist, PCP and endocrinologist are all amazed at the reversal. Read More Read Less

18% increase in spine, 8% increase in hip after two years of taking Vitamin Code Grow Bone consisting of two separate bottles, one of raw calcium and the other of strontium, taken at least four hours apart. Also, jumping on a rebounder (mini trampoline) is an ideal exercise for osteoporosis. My endocrinologist was very impressed with the results.

I have been experiencing hoarseness that sent me to a throat Dr. who first said Acid Reflux, etc. but when telling that about the same time I started taking Strontium Bone Maker capsules I started having the hoarseness and he looked up the side effects and said that was one that it causes! It was a legitimate endocrinologist who sent me to a compounding lab to get this, but it is also sold in vitamin stores.

I have only been taking Strontium Citrate with Vit D3 & Vit K2 for my osteoporis for 2 weeks. I am now covered with itchy welts and a rash. I can't seem to find any info on allergic reactions to these supplements and wondering if anyone else has had this problem with these supplements? These 3 supplements were advised to use together for a more natural way of treating bone loss. I have stopped taking them as of today to see if the rash will clear up. Any ideas from anyone??

The only thing you can buy in the USA is strontium citrate....Wish I could get strontium ranelate - my dex scan was greatly improved once I started taking strontium citrate daily. But, my understanding is that ranelate is better. The astronauts used that.
