OsteoStrong and bone health: a scoping review
Authors' conclusion
The research on OsteoStrong is mainly limited to small observational studies that are at risk of bias because of conflict of interest, imprecision, publication in a predatory journal, participants on anti-resorptive medications, or poor-quality research reporting. The effects of OsteoStrong on bone strength outcomes are inconsistent, and currently there is little data on safety of this intervention.
