Pure Encapsulations Strontium Strontium is one of many trace minerals essential for bone health. What it is best for: Strontium promotes normal osteoblast activity while maintaining normal osteoclast activity to support normal bones. Strontium is a divalent cation and is transported through the body using many of the same transport molecules and receptors as calcium. Recent research has highlighted strontium's potential to support bone strength and health. Strontium supports normal osteoblast differentiation and helps to keep osteoclast activity in balance. Additionally, strontium supplementation supports normal collagen formation by osteoblasts, enhancing bone tensile strength.
