The evidence in words
Safety profile
Cardiovascular-risk signal (from the ranelate data); interferes with calcium absorption and DXA interpretation.
Interactions to respect
Calcium — Competes with calcium absorption — separate them.
What Strontium is
Strontium is a mineral chemically similar to calcium; the drug strontium ranelate was used for osteoporosis, while supplements use strontium citrate.
The honest 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.
