I wouldn't care if strontium affected the DEXA reading if, and only if, there is clear evidence that it is critical to bone health and renewal, is usable by the body if taken orally, a clear dosing protocol has been established and stood the test of longitudinal studies, and one could be assured of accuracy in dosing and quality/safety of the material. And a full and accurate assessment of risk factors are available. That's kind of my personal minimum requirement for ingesting anything. If strontium met those criteria, I'd take it. It's not as if physicians are basing life-and-death or surgical decisions based on DEXA results and there are myriad ways the DEXA results can be inconsistent anyway. But my endocrinologist did not mention strontium when we discussed tools to help maintain bone density so it hasn't been on my radar until now.
