Search Results for "Strontium"

Strontium is a calcium-like mineral that can become part of bone. Think of it as a stand‑in that slots into bone mineral and influences bone remodeling. It drew attention because a prescription form (strontium ranelate) cut fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporosis, though changes in bone scans can be tricky to interpret with strontium on board.

• Support bone strength and reduce fracture risk in postmenopausal osteoporosis
• Support bone health during aging
• Maintain or improve measured bone mineral density (BMD)

Evidence

Vitamin C is the body’s water‑soluble rust‑proofing: it neutralizes free radicals, helps enzymes build collagen, and supports immune defenses. Think of it as a maintenance crew for connective tissue and a small but real helper against everyday infections. Topically, concentrated L‑ascorbic acid can brighten and smooth sun‑worn skin.

• Support immune defenses and shorten common cold duration
• Modestly lower blood pressure (especially if hypertensive/diabetic)
• Reduce oxidative stress and inflammatory markers
• Improve signs of photoaging and fine wrinkles (topical)
