Uh, sorry. We meant, subject for a medical study?
If so, you're in luck. UC Davis internal medicine researchers are embarking on whether strontium citrate, a widely available over-the-counter dietary supplement, is true to its claim as a prevention for osteoporosis.
Researchers are looking for post-menopausal women at least one year -- but less than five years -- past their last menstrual period. After a screening visit, blood draw and scan, subjects will be randomly assigned to either a group that will take strontium citrate plus calcium and vitamin D for three months, or a group that will take a placebo plus calcium and vitamin D for three months.
