How effective are calcium supplements?!
Question:
How effective are calcium supplements?
I broke a bone in my hand and need to get back to work right away. I carry heavy furniture, so i need to use both hands. Doctor said 6-8 weeks for bone to heal, but will that be faster if I take calcium?
Answers:
You didn't include your age which has a bearing on needing calcium. We need more as we age and if you are 40 plus then yeah you should take and take one with a vitamin D as that helps with the absorption. If you are younger and eat a well balanced diet..no you don't need the supplement.
