Does Dairy Affect Strontium?
May affect absorption or how you feel
The short answer
Calcium in dairy directly competes with strontium for absorption since both use the same intestinal calcium transport system.
How to arrange timing
Always take strontium on an empty stomach, at least 2 hours from dairy.

Important context
The effect can also change with food amount, supplement dose, product formulation, health conditions, and medication use. Ask a doctor or pharmacist first if you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a chronic condition.
