One may want to look at the levels in drinking water and that an upper limit is being considered.

@normahorn and @sueinmn Thank you both for those references. Both look to be userul. The paper you provided Sue requires a careful read. Norma the strontium and groundwater you provided is easy.

At a quick glance the ground water levels of concern are at 4mg strontium per liter. So that might mean a person drinking that water might get 4 mg plus another 1-5mg in food and therefore a total of 5-9mg strontium per day.

So the EPA is seemingly concerned about a level that is between 71 and 128 times smaller than the dose of strontium citrate (640mg) many folks are using.
Of course a substance in water that everyone is drinking is evaluated differently than a substance taken by a smaller number of people for a medical condition.
So much to research to just try to evaluate strontium for our bones.
