Strontium Blood Test

$55.00 AUD

Taking strontium supplements for bone health, living in areas with potential contamination, or experiencing unexplained bone or kidney issues that might be mineral-related?

Concerned about workplace exposure or bone health? The Strontium Blood Test measures strontium levels in the body. While small amounts may come from diet or supplements, high levels usually come from industrial exposure. This test may help check for overexposure or monitor whether strontium is affecting your bones or overall health.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test
"I'm a little biased as I work here! However, I love that The Bloody Good Test tracks my health over time. After turning 40, I wanted to make sure I wasn't going to drop dead from something basic I should have known about earlier. Measuring all my core biomarkers each year gives me peace of mind my health is on the right track"
Cameron Smith Head of Ecommerce, Brisbane

Overview

Think of strontium as your body's mineral imposter – it's so chemically similar to calcium that your body can't tell the difference and readily accepts it into your bones and teeth. This naturally occurring element acts like a chameleon in your system, potentially playing the role of helpful ally or unwelcome intruder depending on where it comes from and how much you're exposed to. When strontium enters your body, whether from supplements designed to support bone health or from environmental sources like contaminated water and soil, it follows the same pathways as calcium and becomes part of your bone structure.

A strontium test helps uncover this hidden story by measuring the levels in your system, which is especially valuable if you live near industrial areas, drink well water, take strontium supplements, or have mysterious bone or kidney issues that might stem from mineral imbalances. While controlled amounts from therapeutic supplements have shown promise for strengthening bones in conditions like osteoporosis, excessive environmental exposure could potentially disrupt your body's delicate mineral balance, affecting everything from bone quality to kidney function. Understanding your strontium levels gives you and your healthcare provider crucial insight into whether this mineral chameleon is working for you or against you.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals taking strontium supplements, those with environmental exposure concerns, people with unexplained bone disorders, or anyone living in areas with known strontium contamination who need to monitor their exposure levels.

Questions

  • Testing can help ensure you're achieving therapeutic levels while avoiding excessive accumulation, and monitor for any potential adverse effects on mineral balance.
  • Yes, strontium in bones can artificially increase bone density measurements, so it's important to inform your healthcare provider about strontium use before DEXA scans.
  • Strontium has a long half-life in bones (several years), so levels may remain elevated for extended periods after stopping supplements or exposure.
  • Therapeutic strontium supplements are controlled doses for potential bone benefits, while environmental exposure is typically uncontrolled and may come from contaminated sources.
  • Very high levels may potentially interfere with calcium metabolism, affect bone quality, or impact kidney function, which is why monitoring is important with supplementation or exposure.
  • Generally no - testing while on supplements helps assess your actual exposure levels and therapeutic monitoring. Only discontinue if specifically advised by your healthcare provider.

How to prepare

No special fasting required. If taking strontium supplements, continue normal routine unless specifically instructed otherwise by healthcare provider. Inform laboratory about any strontium supplement use, environmental exposures, or geographic location that might affect interpretation. Avoid contamination from strontium-containing products on hands or clothing.

After the test

If levels are elevated from environmental sources, identify and reduce exposure through water filtration, dietary modifications, or environmental remediation. If levels are high from supplements, consider dose adjustment or monitoring for effectiveness versus risk. Assess kidney function and bone metabolism markers if levels are concerning.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Normal strontium levels vary but are typically <50 µg/L in most populations. Levels 50-200 µg/L may indicate environmental exposure or supplement use requiring monitoring. Levels >200 µg/L suggest significant exposure requiring investigation and potential intervention. Results interpreted based on exposure source and clinical context.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)
