I take New Chapter calcium, which contains a small amount of strontium. My OD did not like that. It is a radioactive element and she felt she would not want me taking any more than in New Chapter. Perhaps the radioactive nature of it make it show brightly on the DEXA.

Strontium citrate is not radioactive!!!!!!!!
It is a natural mineral.
It is entirely different from this:
"Strontium-90 is a radioactive fission product produced by nuclear reactors used in nuclear power. "
As for New Chapter calcium, the strontium in that is 3.7mg, which is a minute amount. The therapeutic dose is 680mg daily. I have no idea why these supplements put a negligible amount in there but I think it is misleading at best.
