This mineral is commonly found in the body parts where bone remodeling is taking place.

Studies have shown positive results in use of strontium in reduction of fracture and improvement on the bone density to women with postmenopausal problems. It has also proved to reduce bone pain when taken in high dosage.

This mineral is available as a dietary supplement and the normal dosage is at least two capsules per day or as prescribed by a doctor. This drug is widely used by women to strengthen their bones. However, many people fear the supplement because of the controversial radioactive strontium which was known to cause cancer. This, nonetheless, is the natural strontium that has no such effect that is known so far.
