What Can Strontium Do For You?

What Can Strontium Do For You?
Introduction: Strontium is an element that has both stable
and radioactive forms. The radio active form that you get
after an atomic bomb explosion is not what we care about
here. What we are talking about here is the stable form of
strontium. This element has 38 protons, reside as element
38 of the periodic table of elements. It is right below
calcium in its position in the periodic table, and it is
not surprising when we see how and what strontium do for
our body.

Source of Strontium: One good news is that our earth has
plenty of strontium. 0.04 percent of the earth crust is
composed of strontium. It also present in the seawater, and
as a trace element in our body. On average, the human body
contains about 320 mg of strontium, most of them are for
the bones and connective tissues.

What Can Strontium Do for Us? It has been shown by Mayo
Clinic that a fairly high dose (like 1.7 gram)of strontium
does no harm to our human body. It has also been shown
using x-ray that people who live in areas that has more
strontium in their water, their soil has stronger teeth and
bones. That is, they tends to has no or little cavities in
their teeth and no osteoporosis. Strontium, like calcium is
a double charged base element, it can take place of calcium
and help in the bone and connective tissue formation. It
has been shown that if you have both calcium and strontium
in your diet, calcium would be the competing element for
strontium, that means that calcium would be more likely to
be taking up rather than strontium. From the above study,
we can see that strontium is also very important and vital
to keep our bone healthy.

Another important discovery of strontium is how it prevent
the irritation effects of chemical on our skin. It is
possible that strontium prevent sensory irritation such as
stinging, burning,itching, and inflammation by interacting
with the nociceptive neurons on our skin.

How do we get Strontium? Normally strontium travels up to
the food chain and end up plays some vital functions in our
body. However, with the depletion of essential minerals in
our food, we have to be more aware of what and where we can
get enough strontium. We can take strontium supplement and
hope it will be incorporated into our system effectively to
help our bones and connective tissues. We can also apply
strontium containing creams to our skin to help prevent
irritations.

A Rich Use-able Source of Strontium: Dead sea as we know,
has its special place on this earth since biblical time.
It's unique location - way below sea level, high
concentration of minerals in its water makes it a unique
location for health spa.

People who has skin problems such as Rosacea - a chronic
skin problem that manifested as erythyma, dry skins
problems, eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, flock to
the dead sea for relief.

From medical research studies, we see that strontium can
help the relief of skin irritation for people who has
contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. It also
help people who has sensitive skins, prevent the skin react
to perfums, daily house hold chemical.

Conclusion: Based on research and fact, it is beneficial to
use product that are enriched in strontium for helping keep
our skin young and fresh. It is also beneficial to our body
to supplement an absorbe-able strontium.
