OsteoV SC
NuMedica
Overview
The primary active ingredient, Strontium, is provided at a dose (680 mg) that aligns with doses used in some research, though studies on over-the-counter strontium formulations are limited. The proprietary blend, which contains Panax notoginseng, Astragalus, and black pepper extract, makes it impossible to ascertain if these ingredients are present in clinically effective doses for their respective benefits, or if they significantly contribute to bone health beyond potentially enhancing absorption. The statement that it's designed to be combined with Osteo Vegan suggests it's not a standalone bone health solution.
The Good
Contains strontium citrate, a mineral studied for bone formation and resorption modulation.
Includes bioavailability enhancers (AstraGin, BioPerine) for potentially better absorption of active ingredients.
Clearly states cGMP quality standards compliance.
The Bad
Efficacy of strontium citrate for bone health from over-the-counter supplements is not as strongly established as for calcium and vitamin D.
Proprietary blend conceals individual dosages of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus, making it difficult to assess their specific contribution and clinical effectiveness.
Suggested use alongside another product (Osteo Vegan) implies it's not a complete bone health solution on its own, adding to overall cost.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals seeking bone health support, those interested in plant-sourced calcium
Skip If: You have specific allergies to unknown ingredients or are on medications that interact with calcium supplements without consulting a healthcare provider.
