An experimental drug containing strontium makes bones denser and decreases the risk of fractures, a study of elderly women finds.
So now theres no reason to settle down when you get old :)

Not funny. Well, sort of funny. I come from a long line of bone density impaired women, and I probably consume more calcium than I can metabolize, trying to avoid their fate.

I didn't mean it to cause any offense. But there is lots of research going into it and from a quick google Scholar i found this;

The second link shows what parathyroid hormone can do. Also if your into holistic type medicines then you might want to try indigo lights IIRC if you sit in the light for 15-30 minutes it supposedly helps PTH production.
Again sorry if i caused offense i didn't mean it that way.[/url]
