A member asked:
How do you know how much calcium you need to heal a broken tibia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1200 mg: There is typically not an extra calcium requirement for healing a fracture; you should make sure that you get at least the recommended daily allowance, which would be in foods like milk, tofu, fortified orange juice, spinach or salmon.
