The evidence in words

The verdict

For fracture (ranelate, rx), Strontium earns evidence grade B (moderate effect, high consistency) — there is real evidence here. But CV risk

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.
