Vitamin D after jaw fracture — can it help with bone healing?
Hi everyone,
I recently fractured my jaw a few days ago and had splints/wires placed. Since the recovery process is expected to be slow, I’m trying to support bone healing as much as possible with nutrition and supplements.
I’m wondering what people here think about taking vitamin D after a jaw fracture. Can vitamin D actually help stimulate or support bone healing in this kind of situation?
A few questions:
What vitamin D dose would generally make sense after a fracture?
Is it better to check blood levels first, like 25(OH)D?
Should vitamin D be taken together with vitamin K2?
If yes, what amount of K2 is usually recommended, and is there any typical ratio between D3 and K2?
Are there any other supplements that are important for fracture healing, like magnesium, calcium, zinc, vitamin C, collagen, etc.?
I’m not trying to replace medical advice, but I’d like to hear people’s experiences and opinions, especially from anyone who used vitamin D/K2 during bone healing after a fracture.
