Calcium Supplements

Does anyone reckon that talking calcuim supplements will improve the healing of broken bones after rhinoplasty??

Yes i assume that its the same as when your young and bones are growing. I'm not taking calcium supplements just in case things over regrow...i know if you take vit c for too long that can happen...don't want another hump! but i'm drinking a couple of glasses of milk ang yogurt per day. I'm also taking a zinc supplement because zinc is essential in bone regrowth. You also need vitamin d from sunlight so you can absorb the calcium effectively. ALSO its a good idea to up your protein intake whilst healing and make sure you get around 45mg per day.

I assume that taking calcium will greatly help. I know when my sister broke her nose that the doctors prescribed calcium supplements.
