The evidence in words
The verdict
For bone (citrate supplement), Strontium earns evidence grade D (unclear effect, low consistency) — the evidence does not support the claim. No fracture data
How it might work
It incorporates into bone and appears to both increase formation and reduce resorption; it also inflates DXA bone-density readings (a measurement artifact).
How to use it
Safety & cautions
Cardiovascular-risk signal (from the ranelate data); interferes with calcium absorption and DXA interpretation.
Bottom line
The effective form carried cardiovascular risk and was restricted; the supplement form is unproven and confounds bone scans. Not a first-line bone choice.
