Can calcium repair a bone's damaged growth plate?

Answer 1

yes, but not all calcium

different types determine how much of it the body will absorb, for instance suppliments made from calcium carbonate are not absorbed by the body whereas other forms of calcium are.

The body generally eliminates unabsorbed 98% of the calcium consumed. 1% is used by the body and involved in active metabolism and 1 % for the bones.

The bones grow and shrink add mass and loose it continually until old age and boneloss generally win. To build bone you also need acids with your calcium vitamin C such as ascorbic or citric acids can aid with your bones ability to add mass and strength to bone. (flexibility or tensile rubberyness).

Answer 2

usually when one damages the growth plate, such as in one leg, that leg will be slightly shorter. the bone growth is in the center of the bone not the ends as most suspect.

Answer 3

Perhaps, but don't overdo it. Too much of any mineral or vitamn is dangerous. Ask your doctor though. Don't want to be messing with a growth plate.

Answer 4

yes in most instance.
