Question 8

what supplements promote bone fusion growth?

Accepted Answer

None known: I am not aware of any supplements that have been specifically shown to promote bone fusion growth.  You do need, of course, protein and calcium and vit d for bony healing, but these can be obtained from a good diet as well as sunlight.  More important is to avoid or control factors that inhibit bone healing, such as smoking, diabetes, and nsaids (i.e. Ibuprofen, aleve).

Question 9

how does stopping taking estrogen supplements affect bone density?

Can cause decrease: Stopping estrogen will make bone loss occur at a faster rate. It will be important to take in adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin d. Exercise is also important for bone health. Avoid smoking which can increase bone loss, too.

Question 10

should i take glucosamine supplement for bone injuries like, stress changes to the bone?

Accepted Answer

Not really for bone: Glucosamine is a component of joint cartilage and some studies have shown natural anti-inflammatory effects and lessened joint pains due to this and other supplements. It may even have some healing effects for cartilage injury. Stress injuries to the bone and decreased bone density have more to do with bone mineralization (calcium and phosphate) and wouldn't be affected directly by glucosamine.
