We have found in the more than 6,000 patients we have now tested in a health promotion project we have been involved in up in Calgary that virtually everyone needs at least 2,000 IU per day, many need 5,000 IU per day or even more.) I mentioned this earlier, what are your thoughts on the following statement given in Lis thesis paper (cited above): Interestingly, according to one study, 170 mg of strontium per day was more effective than 680 mg per day for reducing fracture risk (Meunier et al., 2002), which raises the possibility that even lower doses might be as effective as, or more effective than, the dosages that have been studied.. What about someone with coronary artery disease? Thank you. I also found interesting the researchers comment that iodine insufficiency might have been a contributing factor. (Kinetics is the study of the rate at which chemical processes occur.) I suggest you consider taking both AlgaeCal Plus and Triple Power.

I feel this is safe unless a person is on an older anticoagulant medication in which case you must consult with your doctor to help you manage your drug dose so you can gradually increase your vit K without disturbing your INR because studies have been done showing that even much higher doses of MK-7 (over 800 mcg/day) not only caused no adverse effects but resulted in higher levels of activated osteocalcin. When blood pH begins to drop too low (down to 7.35 from a baseline of 7.4), calcium is immediately withdrawn from our bones to restore proper pH in our blood because proper pH is essential for numerous critical life functions, including processes as varied as breathing rate and the ability to transport oxygen throughout our bodies via red blood cells.

I believe these will be posted on AlgaeCals website soon. I understand that strontium is an element with a higher weight on the periodic table and therefore occupies more space or creates a denser appearing bone structure on a DEXA. AlgaeCal is untreated as it is clean and pure / Aquamin is bleached with Hydrogen Peroxide AlgaeCal 2 had a positive MAPC of +2.79%. The doses ranged from 100 to 750 mg/kg per day of strontium ranelate, corresponding to 34255 mg/kg per day of Sr21. Thank you so much for your feedback. And chronic low grade inflammation, regardless of its source, activates our bone-resorbing cells, which are called osteoclasts, continuously and thus promotes bone loss. Epub 2003 Mar 18. In Laura Pizzornos blog , she refers to the excretion of ranelic acid , and questions the non excreted portion. DRIs for vitamin D are: Hi Barb wow, thats wonderful! Hello again Lara: Guaranteed.

Aquamin has done one absorption study where PTH response is measured. Strontiums effect of increasing OPG production was a key factor in the following bone-protective outcomes: greater trabecular bone volume, an increase in the number of trabecular bone cells, larger areas of the bone surface occupied by osteoid cells (osteoid is the last step before final mineralization occurs to produce fully developed new bone tissue), [all trabecular bone] an increase in bone formation rate, and fewer, smaller areas of bone in which osteoclasts were active.

It's not known if strontium contained in dietary supplements has these effects. For those of us taking strontium citrate I personally find this article to be somewhat disturbing. Wnt signaling: Wnt signaling is involved in osteoblast production & activity; strontium triggers Wnt signaling. In addition, the expressions of metabolizing enzymes (CYP3A4/CYP3A9 and UDPG) showed 12 to 193-fold difference between human and rat intestine with distinct regional dependent expression patterns. Has any research been done to show the safety of using strontium citrate for years? Each capsule provides: After about 2 weeks I noticed extreme fatigue. Heres my more complex version of the effects of strontium on DXA readings: Re the as much as 50% number, I was erring on the side of overestimating the effect of strontiums larger size to make the point that even if 50% of the increase is due to strontiums larger size affecting DXA reading, 50% is actual improvement in BMD. I was wondering if you had seen this article from Univ of Toronto, re lyme (borrelia burgdorferi) causing bone loss? Hello I had a 24 hr clearence test and yhe last one was 72 measure should I take Strontium? Heres a quote from one of the more comprehensive papers looking into data from the trials using S. ranelate: after 2 or 3 yr of treatment, the amount of strontium accumulated in bone is sufficient to cause a clinically significant overestimation of BMD of 10% or more. For thumb joint pain due to arthritis, my recommendation is the same because magnesium helps dilate our blood vessels and improves blood flow. Hi Lara, You will not need your former calcium supplement.
