I was looking to buy some D3 and K supp and saw this on Swanson but I never heard of Strontium is this safe? supposed to make your bones stronger

Of everything I love about Mass Effect 1 and why it's my personal favorite. The quiet atmosphere and the abstract storytelling that you only get via a scrupulous investigation of the area makes me feel so rewarded as a player.
These are the missions that I love and the ones that make Mass Effect feel the most Mass Effect to me. They're also the missions that the second and third game didn't seem to have much time for.
For anyone curious or confused, the MSV Strontium Mule is the second in a three mission story arc involving The Blue Suns in the second game. The first of these missions can be found in the same cluster as Jacob's loyalty mission.
Basically strontium is denser version of calcium. It gets absorbed into the skeleton and the result is increased bone density, increased bone quality and lower chance of fractures. It's naturally-present in the earth which was a problem for the pharmaceutical industry because they couldn't market a natural mineral, so they added ranelic acid so they could sell it as a prescription drug. However studies show that the over-the-counter version strontium citrate has similar effects on bone as the pharmaceutical version strontium ranelate.
>In our subjects, we observed an average 8-10% increase in BMD after self-administration of SrC for 4-6 years which is similar to what has been reported with SrR.

Here's a picture showing the effect on bone compared to placebo

According to studies taking strontium over a period of a few years results in a 40-50% lowered chance of fractures.
>New vertebral fractures occurred in fewer patients in the strontium ranelate group than in the placebo group, with a risk reduction of 49 percent in the first year of treatment and 41 percent during the three-year study period (relative risk, 0.59; 95 percent confidence interval, 0.48 to 0.73). Strontium ranelate increased bone mineral density at month 36 by 14.4 percent at the lumbar spine and 8.3 percent at the femoral neck (P<0.001 for both comparisons). There were no significant differences between the groups in the incidence of serious adverse events.

The only risk I've found is a slightly higher chance of pulmonary embolism, but it should be taken with vitamin K2 to direct it to the bones so it doesn't end up in the arteries.
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I am a Hobbyist who likes tinker with stuff. I have no experience with radioactive isotopes yet. However, I have a Geiger counter, free time, and no fear of becoming the Incredible Hulk.

I've been experimenting with Strontium aluminate Phosphorescent powder pigment (glow in the dark) suspended in matte medium on Energy weapons and electro priests to get an actual glow effect, what do you think? Glowy stuff is hard to take photos of, i promise you it looks even brighther in real life!
Will soon try some green pigment on radium carbines. When going for a energy weapon glow ewffect its probably a god idea to base in white, both to help the actual glowing and to sell it as a glow effect even in regular light conditions, as done on the to be finished onager, although on that one a bit to much Phospho-paint was applied.
I was never really satisfied with the commercial glow in the dark paints, thus this new approach. Strontium aluminate has a much slower degradation than classical Zink based Phosphorescent pigment, which was common in toys back in the day. The best thing with the diy paint is that I beside paint had something akin to a phosphorescent wash by making it quite dilute.
May the Omnissiah bless you in holy light!
My quite radioactive piece of Strontium-90 making my GMC 300e plus tube glow. i captured this using a DSLR camera with a 30 second exposure time. From what i have seen, this is where the gas inside of the GM tube is being ionised and starts to glow. Going to get a new Geiger counter soon, probably a RadiaScan 701a to measure the radioactivity of my Strontium-90 as my current counters max out.
extra flavor but it hurts
Yes, I did come up with this idea after looking up those radiation-eating fungi from Chernobyl.
Yes, I know the mechanism through which they eat radiation is still poorly understood and is probably not very efficient.
Still, though, living creatures need (relatively) very little energy to survive. A human being - already quite a large creature - needs only 100 watts at rest. Most RTGs on space probes can easily do ten times that, and they themselves aren't very efficient either.
Watching a documentary on Stonehenge, they dated someone's bones with Strontium-90. The main thing as a requirement being that the food the person ate, grown in that area, was the main help dating. As the industrial revolution started, and especially in modern times, food people eat regularly comes from thousands of miles away. Will this affect how useful strontium dating is?
