ABSTRACT

Strontium(Sr)is a trace element naturally found in the human skeletal system.In recent years,the po-tential impact of strontium on bone and cardiovascular health has called significant attention,particularly during pregnancy,when alterations in mineral metabolism may affect the health of both the mother and the fetus.This com-prehensive review assesses the current understanding of the role of strontium as a nutritional substance during preg-nancy,its effects on maternal health and fetal development,and its potential associations with pregnancy complica-tions such as preeclampsia,gestational hypertension,and lactation-induced osteoporosis.The review also summarizes the possible effects of strontium deficiency,excess,and supplementation,and provides information for developing prenatal nutrition supplementation guideline.
