Strontium - What It Means For Your Skin Care

By: Judith Kelly

Strontium and Calcium are kind like cousins. They both has double charges in ionic forms and placed in the same column in the period table. In fact, strontium is placed right below calcium at position 38. Strontium does play some role in our body, some are similar to calcium like helping the bone and connective tissue formation, and as you will know soon, strontium also play some other important roles for our skin.

Source of Strontium: Our earth has ample supply of strontium in the crust. 0.04 percent of the earth crust is composed of strontium. Strontium is also contained in our seawater, the percentage is lower at a concentration of 400 parts per million. It is used in our body as one of the essential trace elements. On average, the human body contains about 320 mg of strontium, most of them are for the bones and connective tissues.

What Can Strontium Do for Us? It has been shown by Mayo Clinic that a fairly high dose (like 1.7 gram)of strontium does no harm to our human body. It has also been shown using x-ray that people who live in areas that has more strontium in their water, their soil has stronger teeth and bones. Those people in comparing with the population in large, has healthier teeth, no cavities and very little osteoporosis. Strontium, like calcium is a double charged base element, it can take place of calcium and help in the bone and connective tissue formation. It has been shown that if you have both calcium and strontium in your diet, calcium would be the competing element for strontium, that means that calcium would be more likely to be taking up rather than strontium. From the above study, we can see that strontium is also very important and vital to keep our bone healthy.

Another important discovery of strontium is how it prevent the irritation effects of chemical on our skin. It is possible that strontium prevent sensory irritation such as stinging, burning,itching, and inflammation by interacting with the nociceptive neurons on our skin.

How do we get Strontium? Normally strontium travels up to the food chain and end up plays some vital functions in our body. However, with the depletion of essential minerals in our food, we have to be more aware of what and where we can get enough strontium. Taking strontium supplement is necessary. We should look for the type of supplement that can be easily absorbed into our body. We can also apply strontium containing creams to our skin to help prevent irritations.

A Rich Use-able Source of Strontium: Dead sea as we know, has its special place on this earth since biblical time. A lot of famous health spa located themselves in the dead sea to benefits from its unique characteristic, high enrichment of minerals that are health promoting.

People who has skin problems such as Rosacea - a chronic skin problem that manifested as erythyma, dry skins problems, eczema, psoriasis, contact dermatitis, flock to the dead sea for relief.

From medical research studies, we see that strontium can help the relief of skin irritation for people who has contact dermatitis, eczema, psoriasis and rosacea. It also help people who has sensitive skins, prevent the skin react to perfums, daily house hold chemical.

Conclusion: From the above facts, we understand that it is vital to use products that containing strontium in help us winning the battle of environmental irritant to our skin. A good supplement of Strontium can be hugely beneficial for preventing or helping osteoporosis.
