Chemical formula: C₁₂H₆N₂O₈SSr₂  Molecular mass: 513.49 g/mol  PubChem compound: 6918182

Active ingredient description

In vitro, strontium ranelate increases bone formation in bone tissue culture as well as osteoblast precursor replication and collagen synthesis in bone cell culture and reduces bone resorption by decreasing osteoclast differentiation and resorbing activity. This results in a rebalance of bone turnover in favour of bone formation.
