If it is strontium-90 or the 11 other isotopes created by synthetic nuclear reactions then yes it is very bad for you. It's a bone-seeker and if ingested it can migrate to the bone marrow and over time cause terrible illnesses.

Natural strontium in four numbers (84-88) is safe and stable and even used as mineral supplements, but it can be hard to get people to overcome their uneasiness about the name because of its dangerous cousin!

Strontium is naturally found in the environment and is an essential mineral for bone health. However, excessive intake of strontium supplements can lead to potential health risks, including disruptions in calcium metabolism. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before taking strontium supplements to ensure proper dosage and safety.
