Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 3

Strontium chloride itself is not directly used for the treatment of osteoporosis; instead, strontium ranelate is the form that has been extensively studied and used in some countries for this purpose. The evidence for strontium ranelate comes from large randomized controlled trials, such as the SOTI and TROPOS studies, which showed that it can reduce the risk of vertebral and non-vertebral fractures in postmenopausal women with osteoporosis. Strontium chloride, when ingested, provides strontium ions, which are believed to work by both promoting bone formation and reducing bone resorption. However, clinical data supporting the use of strontium chloride specifically are lacking, and it is not an approved or commonly used therapy for osteoporosis.

The interest in strontium compounds for bone health stems from observations that strontium can be incorporated into bone and may have a beneficial effect on bone mineral density. However, the clinical use of strontium ranelate has been limited due to concerns about cardiovascular safety. Strontium chloride is sometimes found in supplements marketed for bone health, but there is insufficient clinical evidence to support its efficacy or safety for osteoporosis in this form. Therefore, while there is scientific rationale and some evidence for strontium (as ranelate), the evidence for strontium chloride specifically is limited and does not justify its use as a standard osteoporosis treatment.
