Bone is a Living Tissue.

After the age of 30, or due to the effect of certain illnesses, diseases and lifestyle, your body’s ability to rebuild bone mass begins to deteriorate and supplementation becomes necessary to maintain bone health.

Our Best Naturals Strontium is made with Strontium Citrate which is an important mineral for healthier bone health. It also supports joint health and dental health.

Bone is living tissue that changes over the course of a lifetime. They are continually changing through an elegant process called Remodeling, where new bone cells replace older or damaged bone cells. This, in its simplest terms is accomplished through the interaction of two different types of bone cells: 

Osteoclasts which break down and remove the older bone, and

Osteoblasts which build new bone. 

Scientists estimate that through this process, the skeleton completely remodels itself every ten years.

The process of building strong, healthy bones begins early in life and continues into adolescence. During this time, the osteoblasts are more active than the osteoclasts, supporting the growing skeleton. Children between the ages of 9 and 14 will build more bone density than they will lose in their lifetime. And 80% of the skeleton is developed by age 20. Bone “growth” is complete and “peaks” by the time the individual is age 30.

Between age 30 and menopause (around age 51 in women and around age 70 in men), there is a balance between the osteoblast and osteoclast activity. At menopause, because of the reduction in estrogen, osteoclast activity (breaking down bone) out paces the osteoblasts ability to rebuild bone, resulting in a net loss of bone mass. During the five years around menopause, women can lose up to 25% of their bone density if they are not careful. Bone loss is caused by loss of sex hormones but can be aggravated by disease, certain medications or lifestyle factors such as a poor diet, smoking or alcohol use.

Strontium is one of the most abundant organic trace minerals on earth. It's molecularly similar to calcium and is found in healthy bones and teeth. Strontium Citrate concentrates in the skeletal system, where it plays a key role in supporting bone tissue density.
