Does drinking milk hel bone contusion to heal faster?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not realy: Bone contusions have their own timeline for healing. Adequate vit d and calcium are needed. Suppliments r a better way 2 b sure ur intake is adequate. Not that milk is bad 4 u, but consider the calories. U need a daily intake of 1600mg ca & 2, 000iu of vit d. U need this whether injured or not. If u r a dieter, u may have an intake below this.

Milk: Not necessarily. A good consistent diet that contains vit d and calcium is important in bone health. Adding more does not make bone heal fastet.
