FAQ
What is Strontium Boost?
Strontium Boost is an all-natural bone health supplement featuring strontium citrate, a natural trace mineral found in soil and various vegetables. It is designed to work synergistically with AlgaeCal Plus to accelerate the bone-remodeling process.
What are the key ingredients and dosage?
-
Other Ingredients: Vegetable cellulose (making it a non-GMO, vegetarian capsule completely free from dairy, soy, and gluten).
How does Strontium Boost help my bones?
Most bone supplements only slow down bone loss. Strontium Boost is unique because it works on both sides of the bone-remodeling equation:
-
Stimulates osteoblasts: The cells responsible for building new, healthy bone.
-
Slows down osteoclasts: The overactive cells that break down old bone.
Do I have to take it with AlgaeCal Plus?
While you can take it alone, it is clinically formulated to pair with AlgaeCal Plus. Human clinical trials showed that while AlgaeCal Plus alone increases bone density, adding Strontium Boost tripled those bone density gains, with noticeable improvements often showing up on scans within 6 months.
What is the correct way to take Strontium Boost?
Take 2 capsules once a day, right before bed. It can be taken with or without food.
Why do I need to take it before bed and away from calcium?
⚠️ The 2-Hour Rule: Strontium and calcium use the exact same pathways to absorb into your body. If you take them at the same time, they will fight for absorption, and your body will flush the strontium out.
To ensure maximum absorption, always separate Strontium Boost from AlgaeCal Plus, other calcium supplements, or high-calcium meals by at least 2 to 3 hours. Because most people take their calcium with breakfast or dinner, taking Strontium Boost right before bed naturally provides the required gap.
What should I do if I forget a dose?
If you forget your bedtime dose, you can take it in the middle of the night (e.g., if you wake up to use the restroom) as long as it has been a few hours since you last consumed calcium. If it's already morning and you are about to eat a calcium-heavy breakfast, skip the missed dose and resume your normal routine the following night.
Is strontium safe? I heard it causes heart issues.
The media headlines regarding heart risks and blood clots refer to a synthetic, European prescription drug called strontium ranelate (which was pulled from the market in 2017).
AlgaeCal uses strontium citrate, which is an all-natural mineral salt. A 7-year clinical study published in The Journal of the American College of Nutrition followed participants taking strontium citrate alongside plant-based calcium and found zero cardiovascular risks or adverse side effects.
Does Strontium Boost artificially alter DEXA scan results?
Yes, slightly, but the bone gains are entirely real. Strontium is safely absorbed into your bones just like calcium, but strontium atoms are physically heavier than calcium atoms.
Because a DEXA scan estimates bone density by measuring mineral weight, the extra weight of the strontium can inflate your scan numbers by roughly 8% to 11%. Even when radiologists adjust mathematical models to subtract that weight variance, patients still show a highly significant, genuine structural increase in bone strength and density.
