Strontium is a trace element that is not considered necessary to the body.
However, studies indicate that strontium strengthens bones, which is important to preventing osteoporosis, tooth decay, and relieving the pain associated with bone lesion caused by certain cancers. Though some strontium is radioactive, that is not the kind that is used medicinally.
Strontium is found in many parts of the natural world. The degree of strontium concentration in soil is an indicator of how much strontium will be present in the food grown there. Generally, regions with high levels of strontium in the soil also have high levels of strontium in the water.
