In Nov 2008, my dexa scan showed my left hip with a T-score of -1.4 (osteopaenic). It took a while for me to start on this product because I was sceptical. But I finally decided to try it last year in mid-July. After nearly 9 months on it, my latest dexa scan shows the same left hip with a T-score of -1.1. I am thrilled by this improvement which has brought me closer to the borderline with normal. Between 2008 and June 2011, my osteopaenia might have gotten worse than -1.4, but I didn't test, so don't know how bad it was. However, I know I used to get occasional aches in my joints eg hip joint, elbows, and these have gradually disappeared since I started on the Strontium. My nails also seem to be thicker and stronger. I am sold on this product and take it religiously every day. Hope to get to normal before long.
