![]() Have you had a break or fracture recently? Like anyone, you are probably very interested in speeding the healing process so you can get back to your regular activities. What does your body require to do this and how can you supplement for maximum benefits? Read on. Calcium - Your bones are made primarily of calcium, so taking calcium supplements help speed healing from fractures. Lysine is an amino acid that helps in the absorption of calcium. Lysine can increase the amount of calcium absorbed into the bone matrix. Essential Fatty acids are necessary for bone health. A lack of these essential fatty acids results in joint pain, slow wound healing and inflammation. Vitamin C is essential nutritionally to make the collagen that helps the body form healthy bones. It also promotes wound healing. Vitamin K is a very important fat-soluble vitamin that plays a part in bone formation and helps with the absorption of calcium. Boron is important in bone healing because it reduces urinary excretion of calcium. Silica is vital for the repair of tissues and it also helps calcium to be absorbed. Zinc is important for the repair of tissues. Minerals - Trace elements are essential for normal growth and development of skeletons in humans. They play important functional roles in bone metabolism and bone turnover. Protein - Roughly half of bone is comprised of protein. The body gathers protein to synthesize bone protein matrix. To maximize the rate of healing it is helpful to avoid bone robbers such as sugar, salt, alcohol, caffeine, and processed foods. Eat a diet rich in whole foods. Osteo Cal:Mag is scientifically designed to provide the most effective bone health formula available. Look for it at Quantum Vitamins. By Michelle Pascal, Registered Holistic Nutritionist
