Mixed opinions in scientific community
"While some studies suggest a positive impact on bone density, the overall evidence is mixed, and there are concerns about potential cardiovascular risks, limiting the consensus on its widespread use."
Strontium is thought to work by stimulating osteoblasts (bone-building cells) and inhibiting osteoclasts (bone-resorbing cells), leading to increased bone density. However, it is not a first-line treatment due to safety concerns.
