Cardiovascular safety of calcium, magnesium and strontium: what does the evidence say?

Abstract: Calcium, magnesium and strontium have all been implicated in both musculoskeletal and cardiovascular health and disease. However, despite these three elements being closely chemically related, there is marked heterogeneity of their characteristics in relation to cardiovascular outcomes. In this narrative review, we describe the relevant evidential landscape, focusing on clinical trials where possible and incorporating findings from observational and causal analyses, to discern the relative roles of these eleme… Show more

“…First, we concentrated on only the effect of SR on osteoclasts instead of osteoblasts, which also play an essential part in bone remodeling. Second, SR has some severe side effects, such as thromboembolism, but most of them can be avoided if physicians strictly follow the indications of SR [ 51 ]. It was reported that physicians strictly control the indications of SR, such as severe osteoporosis with a high absolute fracture risk, significantly reducing the occurrence of these side effects [ 52 ].…”

“…We show Sr is another metal associated with a decreased risk for ESCC. Physiologically, Sr is an important component of bones and teeth, and maintains nerve and muscle membrane excitability [ 32 , 33 ] Higher Sr levels have been shown in cancer patient specimens, such as urinary and serum strontium in breast cancer, as has elevated Sr in the sera of bladder cancer objects [ 34 , 35 ]. However, a case–control study demonstrated the protective effect of Sr in poorly differentiated, malignant breast tumors.…”

“…157 Some randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggest that the level of bone formation markers increased and bone destruction markers decreased in people taking SR for at least 1 year. 158 However, oral SrR may increase the risk of thromboembolic disease, 159 and SrR was withdrawn in 2020. At present, only strontium succinate is used to treat osteoporosis in Europe, and strontium chloride is indicated to relieve bone pain in patients with painful skeletal metastases.…”
