Strontium Hx™

Details

A natural mineral that promotes healthy bones and bone-forming activity.* Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral found in water, food, and to a limited degree in the bone. The importance and influence of Strontium on bone metabolism has been studied extensively since the 1950's. The body of research clearly indicates that Strontium positively effects bone metabolism and promotes bone formation, decreases bone resorption and leads to normal bone density.* However, as is the case with many proven essential nutrients, Strontium levels in the bones continues to deplete as the body ages. Adequate supplies of Strontium are not easily obtained from a regular diet. Supplementing with proper doses of Strontium is highly recommended to maintain strong, healthy bones.* InVite®'s Strontium offers the most powerful and potent form available on the market. You'll be sure to get maximum effectiveness and absorption when you take our Strontium on a daily basis.

Strontium Hx™
What is Strontium Hx™? Strontium is a mineral just like calcium or zinc. Research shows that Strontium likes to go to our bones where it makes them thicker and stronger and less fragile. Research also shows that Strontium, like calcium, lowers the risk of a fracture due to thinning bones. Where does Strontium Hx™ come from? Strontium is a naturally occurring mineral found in small amounts in water and food and also in our bone. Strontium is found in small amounts in spices, seafood, whole grains, root and leafy vegetables and legumes. The amount in food would not be sufficient for bone building.
Benefits: May help build bone, making it both thicker and stronger Dual activity; slows the rate at which bone is resorbed (the rate at which bone is broken down) while speeding up the rate at which bone is rebuilt (drugs mostly slow the breakdown with few exceptions, without speeding up the rate of rebuilding) Studies from the US and Europe show a strong ability to help build bone at a fairly rapid pace possibly reducing the risk of a fracture within the first year May strongly complement Calcium's bone building activity although the two minerals have to be taken at a separate time for good absorption Works in all age groups, even in those over eighty-years of age (many drugs work poorly for building bone in those over eighty) May decrease the risk of a spinal or hip fracture according to numerous studies (using various forms of Strontium including strontium ranelate, gluconate, carbonate, and lactate). We use Strontium Citrate because Citrate forms of minerals have improved absorption, offer a higher potency in fewer capsules, and Citrate itself is used in the production of energy by all cells in our body, making this a very natural form of the mineral for our body. Also, many of our minerals are in the Citrate form. Studies show that Strontium may improve the strength of bone that is weakened when estrogen levels fall after menopause. Strontium may improve the strength of the spongy-inner core of the bone (called trabecular bone) by 8%. The dense outer layer of bone (called cortical bone) may improve in strength by a powerful 11% with Strontium.	Features: May be helpful for the bone of any woman after menopause, or any man or woman at anytime that may need it Can be used along with medication to rebuild bone; however, take at a separate time of day from prescription medication Anyone who has thinning of the spine, the hips, the wrist, or any other bone can use Strontium because it may help rebuild them all Men with low levels of testosterone may need Strontium for bone health Strontium is useful for anyone on drugs that may contribute to thinning bone. These drugs include diuretics, prednisone and other steroid drugs, and Synthroid (levothyroxine) which is commonly prescribed for an under functioning thyroid May help improve back pain due to arthritis May help improve the health of the meniscus Convenient dosing; simply take a few hours away from food and supplements In vegetarian Vcaps® for enhanced bioavailability and absorption Made using GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices)
