Abstract:
Strontium is an essential trace element that is widely distributed in human tissues, with bone being its largest 'reservoir', in which approximately 99% of strontium is present in ionic form. Strontium can have a wide and far-reaching impact on bone health in many ways, and there is a clinical consensus that the drug strontium ranelate can protect bone health by influencing bone metabolism, but it is a synthetic chemical that is much less safe than natural strontium salts, so the development of strontium-rich foods so that people can achieve the goal of taking care of bone health through daily dietary routes is gradually becoming a hot research topic. This paper reviews the types of common orthopaedic diseases, the mechanism of strontium on bone metabolism and the current situation and development of food-based strontium products, focusing on the dual osteogenic mechanism of strontium regulating both osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the current situation of strontium-rich foods, providing a theoretical basis for the application of strontium in orthopaedic diseases and the better development of strontium-rich foods.
