A member asked:
Does strontium ranelate help the discs or just the bones?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bones: Although there is at least one study which suggests that strontium ranelate may have a beneficial effect on the degeneration of spinal discs, by far the most well documented effect of strontium is on bones. Be aware that in europe, the use of strontium has been restricted due to evidence of increased cardiac risks with its use.
