The mineral strontium has a host of beneficial effects on healthy bones, from increasing osteoblast production to regulating bone resorption. Strontium Boost is recommended with AlgaeCal Plus for patients experiencing, or at risk of, bone loss and those seeking significant bone-density increases.

In each of three clinical studies of AlgaeCal formulations, the treatment groups incorporating strontium increased bone-building results by up to 300% over AlgaeCal alone. Research on the mineral has revealed that it increases calcium absorption through activation of calcium-sensing receptors. Along with its positive effects on bone mineral density, strontium has been independently associated with increased osteoid production and decreased fracture risk, likely due to its effects on bone architecture.
