hi monteflus: There is a drug called protelos available in France, the Uk and canada. It is Strontium and ranelate(a salt. although it is not available here, other sources of strontium, that have proven to be just as good are, such as strontium citrate. I take a brand that provides 340 mg in acapsule. Two caps provide 680mg as per the sudies. In studies of over 5,00 postmenopausal women 14.4 percent increase in BMD at the spine in over 3 years and 8 percent at the neck. With no serious sideeffects. I dont kow though if it works for the hips. As far as one vit for all bone need . I dont think its possible. I take calcium citrate with added boron copper zinc, magnesium, B6 , vit D. I also take vit C with bioflavinoids, Omega 3s and vit K. I cannot say which strontium i take on here. just look for one with 340mg cos
