Fractures
Description
Fractures are broken Bones.
These Substances may Accelerate the Healing of Fractures
Amino Acids
Arginine (10,000 mg per day) may facilitate the healing of Fractures (by facilitating the production of Nitric Oxide). [1]
Carbohydrates
Glucosamine may accelerate the healing of Fractures: [2]
Anecdotal reports from doctors have stated that oral Glucosamine supplementation has in some cases accelerated the healing of Fractures by up to three-fold.
Enzymes
Bromelain (160 mg per day) may alleviate the Edema and Inflammation associated with Fractures. [3]
Hormones
Human Growth Hormone (hGH) may facilitate the healing of Fractures and helps to prevent Fractures (especially in older people). [4]
Minerals
Optimal Calcium intake may help to prevent Fractures (by contributing to Bone strength). [5]
Copper is required for the healing of Fractures (due to Copper being an essential component of the Lysyl Oxidase enzyme that catalyzes the final step in the synthesis of Collagen which is essential for the healing of Fractures) and supplemental Copper accelerates the healing of Fractures. People who are deficient in Copper are more susceptible to Fractures. [6]
Magnesium may help to prevent Fractures (by increasing Bone Mineral Density). [7]
