Strontium

I have not found a cell receptor for Strontium (Sr) at this time, and to date, there is no indication or medical
evidence that strontium is essential to human health.

However, in the form of Strontium Ranelate, Sr has been demonstrated to increase bone mass through
its stimulatory effect of osteoblasts (which increases bone formation), and its inhibitory effect of osteoclasts
(which cause bone loss through bone resorption).  At the recommended daily dosage of 2g in granules form,
Protelos (strontium ranelate), has shown a significant reduction of vertebral fractures and hip fractures32 in
clinical trials, with decreased back pain and decreased body height loss compared to the placebo group.
At this time, it is primarily recommended for post-menopausal women, but not pregnant, or breast-feeding
females.

The action of strontium is closely related to that of calcium, although retention of strontium varies inversely
with calcium intake.  Supplementing larger amounts of strontium increases calcium, but not magnesium
retention, and it has the potential to lower stomach acid levels, insulin, WBC, germanium, fluoride, bismuth,
and silicon.  These effects should be kept in mind when considering strontium in the treatment of bone loss.

In order to help increase Bone Mineral Density (BMD), over 1,000 mg of strontium has to be ingested daily
(versus a few mg / day obtained through normal food intake), and while those amounts are well tolerated by
some patients, various medical problems may be experienced by other patients, which include tooth decay,
nausea, abdominal spasms, headaches, skin irritation, swollen glands, fainting, memory problems, diarrhea,
difficulty breathing, rickets, pulmonary embolism, headaches, or seizures.
Additional caution is required by those with kidney problems, have a history of venous blood clots, or have an
intolerance to aspartame, which is found in Protelos.

Since calcium inhibits strontium absorption, calcium supplements, antacid remedies - and food in general -
should not be taken within 2 hours before, and 2 hours after taking Protelos.

Similarly to iodine pills being somewhat protective in case of a nuclear accident, taking small amounts of the
(non-radioactive) trace mineral strontium may offer the same protection when being exposed to the radio-
active form of strontium.  Some toothpastes that are marketed for "Sensitive Teeth"33 contain strontium
chloride as part of their formulation. ¤

General recommendations for nutritional supplementation:  To avoid stomach problems and improve tolerance,
supplements should be taken earlier, or in the middle of a larger meal.  When taken on an empty stomach or
after a meal, there is a greater risk of some tablets causing irritation, or eventually erosion of the esophageal
sphincter, resulting in Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD).  It is also advisable not to lie down right after
taking pills.  When taking a large daily amount of a single nutrient, it is better to split it up into smaller doses
to not interfere with the absorption of other nutrients in food, or nutrients supplemented at lower amounts.
