No links here, just this information:

  • Get vitamin D replete. This is a big one. If I had a broken bone anywhere, I'd be taking 5000 IU a day.
  • Get enough calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. Supplementing calcium and magnesium is probably wise, as it can be a challenge to get enough of these in your diet if you are not eating dairy.
  • Eat nutrient-dense, protein sufficient foods. You can use websites like cronometer to track your nutrient intake from foods and monitor your calcium intake this way. (Okay, so there is one link :) )

In addition, vitamins C and K are important. A quick google search found several useful sites. – Kathleen Jun 7 at 23:53
