HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Strontium 300 mg by Klaire Labs

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This product contains one active ingredient: strontium at 300 mg per capsule. Strontium is a mineral that accumulates in bone and may support bone strength and help reduce bone pain.

The capsule also contains inactive ingredients (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, water, ascorbyl palmitate, microcrystalline cellulose, and silicon dioxide) that serve as the capsule shell and stabilizers.

Does it work?

Strong evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Strong

Clinical evidence supports at least one of this product's ingredients for its stated purpose.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: mineral supplement for bone health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Osteoporosis, Fractures, Bone density, Fracture prevention.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Strontium is rated "Likely Effective" for Osteoporosis (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Strontium is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Fractures.

Strontium is rated Effective for dental hypersensitivity and for pain from bony metastases (cancer spread to bone). It's rated Likely Effective for osteoporosis, Possibly Effective for osteoarthritis, and Possibly Effective as a prostate cancer support.

The evidence is strongest for dental sensitivity and bone pain; for bone health and other uses, the data is less robust.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Strontium

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Strontium, especially the ranelate form, carries cautions around heart and clotting risk that you should know about. The most common side effects are mild—diarrhea, nausea, headache, and skin irritation—and appear in people taking doses up to 2 grams daily long-term.

However, clinical trials show strontium ranelate increases the risk of blood clots (venous thromboembolism and pulmonary embolism) by about 50% versus placebo, and may raise the risk of heart attack by roughly 1.6-fold in people with osteoporosis. These serious effects are rare but documented.

Strontium safety has not been established in pregnancy, so it's best avoided. There isn't enough safety data for breastfeeding either—talk with your doctor or pharmacist about whether it's right for you if you're pregnant or nursing.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Strontium

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Strontium.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 101 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before you start strontium, check with your pharmacist if you take estrogens (including birth control), androgens or testosterone, antacids, quinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin), or tetracycline antibiotics (like doxycycline). All interact at a Moderate level and may need timing adjustments to work safely and effectively.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with clinical evidence supporting its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Strontium may help with bone pain, dental sensitivity, and osteoporosis support, but it comes with documented risks of blood clots and heart problems that warrant a conversation with your doctor first. If you're on estrogens, androgens, antacids, or antibiotics, spacing and timing matter.

Your pharmacist can help you navigate the logistics and decide whether this is the right choice for you.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in Strontium 300 mg with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Strontium5 drug types · 101 drugs

Androgens

Theoretically, androgens might reduce the excretion of strontium, potentially increasing its effects and adverse effects.
A small clinical study suggests that treatment with androgens such as testosterone, nandrolone, oxandrolone, and oxymetholone for 5-6 weeks might decrease urinary strontium excretion. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Antacids

Antacids can reduce the absorption of strontium, potentially decreasing its effectiveness.
Aluminum hydroxide and magnesium hydroxide can reduce absorption of strontium ranelate by 20% to 25%. Calcium can reduce its absorption to 60% to 70%. Avoid taking antacids within 2 hours of a dose of strontium ranelate. This interaction has also been reported with orally-administered radioactive strontium-85. It will likely also occur with other forms of strontium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence C
Estrogens

Theoretically, estrogens might reduce the excretion of strontium, potentially increasing its effects and adverse effects.
A small clinical study suggests that treatment with estrogens for 5-6 weeks might decrease urinary strontium excretion. The clinical significance of this interaction is unknown.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Quinolone Antibiotics

Theoretically, strontium might decrease the absorption of quinolone antibiotics.
Strontium is a divalent cation with similar properties to calcium. It is likely to form complexes with quinolones in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, preventing absorption of the antibiotic. Recommend taking strontium supplements at least 2 hours before or after quinolones to avoid an interaction.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Tetracycline Antibiotics

Theoretically, strontium might decrease the absorption of tetracycline antibiotics.
Strontium is a divalent cation with similar properties to calcium. It is likely to form complexes with tetracyclines in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, preventing absorption of the antibiotic. Recommend taking strontium supplements at least 2 hours before or after tetracyclines to avoid an interaction.

Strontium 300 mg by Klaire Labs: Common Questions

Does Strontium 300 mg by Klaire Labs interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Strontium 300 mg has a known interaction with 101 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Strontium 300 mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is strontium used for?
Strontium is most proven for dental sensitivity and bone pain from cancer. It's also used for osteoporosis (where it's likely effective), osteoarthritis, and prostate cancer support (where evidence is less certain). It accumulates in bone and may help strengthen it.
Can I take strontium with my antacid?
Not at the same time. Antacids can cut strontium absorption significantly—calcium-based ones block up to 60–70% of it. Take your strontium at least 2 hours before or after your antacid.
What are the most common side effects?
Diarrhea, nausea, headache, and skin irritation (dermatitis or eczema) are the most frequent. They tend to occur with regular long-term use, though most people tolerate strontium well at standard doses.
Is strontium safe in pregnancy or while breastfeeding?
Safety data is not established for pregnancy, so it's best avoided. There also isn't enough information to know whether it's safe while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist about your individual situation before using it.
Are there serious risks I should know about?
Yes. Clinical trials show strontium, particularly strontium ranelate, can raise the risk of blood clots by about 50% and may increase heart attack risk by roughly 1.6-fold in people with osteoporosis. These are rare but documented—discuss your personal risk with your doctor before starting.
Does strontium interact with antibiotics?
Yes. Quinolone antibiotics (like ciprofloxacin) and tetracycline antibiotics (like doxycycline) may absorb poorly when strontium is present. Separate your doses by at least 2 hours.
