Why this scored 55/100
Strontium citrate is often marketed as a bone-density supplement, extrapolating from prescription strontium ranelate osteoporosis data. Ranelate was withdrawn in Europe due to cardiovascular and thromboembolic events (EMA 2014). Also confounds DEXA scan readings (higher density reading due to atomic weight, not bone quality). Would need CV-safety warning and DEXA-confounding disclosure to score higher.

Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
- 0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
Frequently asked questions
Auto-generated from Vyvata's scoring data for this product. For general questions about the store (shipping, returns, wholesale), see the site FAQ.
What is Strontium Citrate?
Strontium Citrate, categorized under Joint, bone & connective tissue health in the Supplements vertical. It is scored on the Vyvata Scoring Framework — an independent 6-dimension rubric applied uniformly to every product Vyvata lists.

55/100 overall — Standard tier (50–69 band). Per-dimension breakdown: Formulation 60, Manufacturing 60, Transparency 60, Evidence 55, Sustainability 50, Safety 45. Scored as of 2026-08-24.
Why did Strontium Citrate score in the Standard tier?
Strontium citrate is often marketed as a bone-density supplement, extrapolating from prescription strontium ranelate osteoporosis data. Ranelate was withdrawn in Europe due to cardiovascular and thromboembolic events (EMA 2014). Also confounds DEXA scan readings (higher density reading due to atomic weight, not bone quality). Would need CV-safety warning and DEXA-confounding disclosure to score higher.
What are the strongest and weakest aspects of this product?
Strongest: Formulation at 60/100 (dose adequacy, bioavailability form, and ingredient redundancy) and Manufacturing at 60/100 (third-party testing, GMP compliance, and facility audit status). Weakest: Sustainability at 50/100 (sourcing practices, packaging, and corporate practice) and Safety at 45/100 (adverse-event profile, interaction risk, and dose ceiling). All six dimensions feed the overall Vyvata score; a weakness on any one dimension pulls the overall down proportionally.
Is Strontium Citrate third-party tested?
No third-party certifications (NSF, USP, ConsumerLab, or equivalent) were on record at the time of scoring. This affects the Manufacturing dimension score. The manufacturer may test internally or have obtained certification more recently — check the current product label for the most up-to-date information.
