Abstract:
Bone health is accompanied by the entire life cycle, from birth to the end of life, people need calcium throughout their life to maintain bone health, similarly, as bone health of strontium is the same, it can affect the entire life cycle of people. Strontium is an essential trace element in the human body, which has various biological effects such as promoting bone formation and inhibiting bone resorption, improving myocardial function and promoting vascular regeneration, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant, etc. It helps to strengthen bones, prevent and treat osteoporosis and fracture, relieve hypertension and other diseases. Strontium is widely distributed in nature, but the distribution is extremely uneven in various regions of China, especially in the low content of strontium areas, it is recommended that people need to supplement strontium in the diet in time. In this paper, the basic characteristics, intake methods and safety of strontium, biological function of strontium, metabolism of strontium and its relationship with calcium, basic diseases of middle-aged and elderly people, as well as the feasibility of developing strontium-rich milk were reviewed, with a view to providing dietary reference for improving bone health of Chinese people.
