PROTOS 2g
PROTOS 2g
A year ago my doctor (in Singapore) suggested I stop taking Fosamax as
several orthopedic surgeons had observed that long term fosamax use
appeared to cause bones to become friable. A year later, after
stopping Fosamax my T scores had decreased again (as expected) and my
doctor suggested I try PROTOS 2g as it was said to improve bone take
up of calcium with out the friable side effect. She also mentioned
"shots" but commented that they were expensive.
Does anyone have hands on experience with PROTOS 2g and can advise me
what results I can expect from taking it.

I've no hands on experience, but I'll suggest a couple of thoughts.
First do a PUBMED search on strontium ranelate the generic
name to this substance/"drug".
Second, as the drug company that developed it has been very careful
it seems to avoid discussing its mechanism of action, so it is a fair
bet other strontium
bearing chelates/chemicals will be active in improving bone
homeostasis
as the ranelate chelate ( patented form $$$$). And that means there
is a considerable body of gray practice use on the part of
individuals and even alternative healers that is largely off
the radar and wanting to stay there of these alternative sources of
strontium for bone health.
Third, given the nature of it apparent action, I'd suggest the
use of high dose vitamin K2 along with it maybe warrented. Look
at the Japanese osteoporosis protocols that use
activated vitamin D (I'd suggest it would be safer to
use cholecalciferol) and 45 mg of K2 MK4.
Also depending on the level of your problem, exercises
should be useful as well.
And given you indicate that you are male, the osteoporosis strongly
suggests that you have too little testosterone in your system.
T is local converted to estradiol and helps keep the osteoclasts in
check to prevent excessive bone breakdown.
Finally and this is just a personal hypothesis from decades ago is
that strontium maybe seen as micronutrient or a nutrient given that
water supplies and
foods do contain some level of this element.

This is not medical advice. It is certainly not medical advice
specific to you. These comments were only written for
your entertainment and in the hopes of provoking
further comenents.
