Strontium Boost
Supports Strong Bone Microarchitecture
The mineral strontium has been associated with osteoid production and decreased fracture risk. In clinical studies, Strontium Boost (in a natural citrate form) taken with AlgaeCal formulas tripled subject bone-density increases.
- Features
Recommended, as a companion product to AlgaeCal Plus, for patients experiencing bone loss or at greater risk. The addition of strontium to an AlgaeCal protocol yielded a 300% higher annualized increase in bone mineral density (BMD).
- The mineral strontium increases osteoblast production and regulates bone resorption. By activating calcium-sensing receptors, it actually increases calcium absorption.
- Supports consistent, long-term bone-density gains. Study participants gained 7.3% BMD over 7 years when those in their age group would normally lose 7% over this time period. This innovative study won the prestigious 2016 Ragus Award for research.
- While synthetic strontium compounds have raised concerns, our natural citrate version has a long history of safety when taken with adequate calcium.
- All 3 AlgaeCal clinical studies support the safety of Strontium Boost, with no adverse events reported.
- Guaranteed to increase bone mineral density when used per protocol with AlgaeCal Plus.
- Supplement Facts
Serving Size: 2 Capsules
Servings Per Container: 30
Recommended Dose:Two capsules daily (with or without food). Ensure adequate daily calcium intake during use. Take two hours apart from calcium-rich foods or supplements.
Amount Per Serving
- Strontium (from Strontium Citrate): 680 mg
- SUGGESTED USE AND CAUTIONS
Suggested Use: To improve bone mineral density and maintain strong bones, when incorporated into a regimen with AlgaeCal Plus.
Recommended Dose: Take two capsules daily, with or without food. Recommended to be taken in the evening before bed. Ensure adequate daily calcium intake during use. Adult use only.
Potential Interactions: Strontium and calcium compete for the same intestinal absorption sites. To maximize absorption, take Strontium Boost at least two hours apart from foods or supplements containing significant amounts of calcium. Be sure your overall daily intake of calcium is equal to or greater than that of strontium.
Cautions: Patients with chronic kidney disease, who have compromised blood filtering capabilities, should avoid strontium unless recommended by their healthcare provider. Consult a healthcare professional if you have any medical condition, are taking any medications, or are pregnant or lactating.

HOW STRONTIUM BOOST INCREASES BONE DENSITY
Stimulates Osteoblast Differentiation
Creates more bone-building cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) can become osteoblasts or adipocytes. Strontium turns on genes that help MSCs more often become osteoblasts, mature more quickly, and survive longer.
Boosts Absorption of Calcium
Activates calcium-sensing receptors (CaSR) found on osteoblasts
By activating CaSR in bone and gut, strontium helps increase calcium absorption. Researchers have identified a new CaSR version that is only activated by strontium.
Regulates Bone Breakdown
Influences key bone remodeling molecules
Strontium modulates RANKL which activates osteoclasts and increases bone resorption. Further, strontium increases osteoprotegerin (OPG) which serves as a decoy for RANKL to slow bone resorption.
Disrupts Osteoclast Production and Activity
Acts on osteoclasts to prevent overactive bone resorption
Strontium not only modulates the maturation of osteoclasts; it reduces their ability to adhere to bone and start the bone-removal process. Strontium also increases the rate of osteoclast apoptosis (cell suicide).
Clinical Studies Support Efficacy of AlgaeCal Protocol
AlgaeCal is the only calcium supplement clinically supported to increase bone density. Our recommended protocol of AlgaeCal Plus (and companion product Strontium Boost) is based on formulations used in the most effective test groups of our three clinical studies. View Our Research Page.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is Strontium?
Strontium is a mineral that is naturally found in the earth, in food, and in bones. Strontium Boost contains the mineral strontium bound to citrate (i.e., citric acid from fruit) to form (natural) strontium citrate.
- How is Strontium Boost beneficial for bone health?
Strontium citrate has been shown to both increase osteoblast (bone-building cell) activity and modulate osteoclast (bone-clearing cell) maturation. Strontium primarily deposits in the spongy part of newly forming bone (trabecular bone), which 1) improves the mineralization and formation of healthy bone crystals; 2) makes them more stable and resistant to compression damage; and 3) increases the number of bone-forming sites resulting in reduced fracture risk.
- How does AlgaeCal Strontium Boost differ from other brands of natural strontium citrate?
Strontium Boost is the only strontium citrate product backed by human clinical studies showing its safety and efficacy when it comes to low bone density. We’re so confident that we guarantee your patients will see an increase in bone density when using Strontium Boost, together with AlgaeCal Plus, for at least 12 months. See guarantee details.
- Are there any contraindications for strontium?
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) should avoid strontium or be monitored carefully. Since the mineral is eliminated by the kidneys, it may accumulate in CKD patients or others whose blood-filtering capabilities are compromised.
- Is strontium safe? I’ve heard it’s not approved in the U.S. or Canada.
Some confusion exists due to a pharmaceutical product called strontium ranelate. This synthetic form used significantly higher doses of strontium and combined the mineral with ranelic acid. While the drug showed positive effects on bone health, it produced some undesirable side effects. Strontium ranelate’s use is now limited in Europe and the drug has never been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration or Health Canada.
Strontium citrate, the form in Strontium Boost, has an excellent safety record. In more than 100 years of research (including recent human studies), no adverse effects have been reported for a natural, stable strontium salt, as long as it’s taken with adequate calcium. Independent of any increase in bone density, strontium citrate strengthens bones safely and naturally with no adverse side effects.
