NSI Strontium -- 680 mg per serving - 240 Vegetarian Capsules

NSI Strontium -- 680 mg per serving - 240 Vegetarian Capsules

Supports strong, healthy bones! Promotes healthy osteoblast (bone forming) activity. How Does NSI® Strontium work? Strontium is a mineral naturally present in food, water and in trace amounts in bones and teeth and should not be confused with the radioactive isotope strontium-90. It's chemically similar to calcium and is metabolized in the body in a nearly identical way. Strontium may support bone formation and decrease bone resorption (or breakdown), thereby enhancing bone mineral density (BMD). Naturally-occurring strontium is non-toxic and should not be taken simultaneously with calcium to improve its absorption. NSI® Strontium is made in kosher, vegetarian capsules.¹ ². NSI® Strontium is better because it:. Delivers 680 mg of strontium in one two-capsule serving. Is a safe, all-natural way to help you maintain bone health. ¹ Reginster JY, Deroisy R, Dougados M, et al.

All NSI supplements are packaged in HDPE (High Density Polyethylene) bottles. These bottles keep moisture vapor out, protecting the freshness and integrity of their contents, and are 400% more effective compared other brands currently using PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) bottles. HDPE bottles do not break as glass can and are also recyclable so we urge you to please recycle them.

"My bone density improved from T= -2.3 to T=-1.6.

I have been taking Strontium (1 a day), regular calcium products (around 1200mg), multivitamin and vit. D for the past 4 years.

I'm not sure what was the main reason, I also changed my life style, added a lot of exercise.
My physician cannot believe and wants to repeat DEXA scan :-)).

"I have no idea how effective Strontium will be, have to wait one year for another bone density scan, but the doseage level provided by this product is the same as clinical trial doses used. These studies demonstrated the bone-building capacity strontium has in osteoporotic women. I am hopeful."

"I was encouraged to take this product to stop bone loss instead of the traditional prescription medicines. I just had a second bone scan after two years of using this, and not only did my bone loss stop, but my bone density went up. I take two capsules on an empty stomach every morning. I also take Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, 3000 IU Vitamin D3, 800 mcg Folic Acid, CoQ10, Resveratrol, and a Multi-Mineral and Multi vitamin. My understanding is that Strontium is the main ingredient that brings all the others together."

Satisfaction: 5 out of 5 5 out of 5

"I'm
hesitant to review quality or effectiveness, because I'm taking this to
reverse bone density decline after reading of two studies which showed
measurable increase in bone, and this I won't know for a year or two.
however, the dosage is in line with the studies and the price is great.
