We explored the impact of vitamin D3 levels on bone pain that patients experience after undergoing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA). The study involved 240 participants who were divided into three groups based on their vitamin D status—some received treatment before surgery, some after, and others had normal levels to begin with.
By administering vitamin D3 in three doses, we aimed to see if correcting deficiencies could alleviate post-operative bone pain. Throughout the recovery period, we measured pain levels using the visual analog scale at various intervals after the surgery.
Our findings clearly demonstrated that patients who corrected their vitamin D3 deficiency before surgery reported significantly better pain control after the operation compared to those who were treated afterwards or those who started with adequate levels. This highlights the importance of testing and addressing vitamin D status prior to orthopedic procedures, showing that it is a modifiable risk factor affecting recovery.

Improved bone density

Several years ago, my mother was diagnosed with osteoporosis and none of our previous medications worked. After a long search, I found this Calcium Supplement on iHerb, which truly works. Since she began taking it, her bone density indicators have started to improve, which had not been the case for years. While improvement doesn’t happen overnight, we noticed a significant change after six months, which is fantastic! The supply lasts a long time and she also takes vitamin D.

Calcium dobesilate reduces leg cramps
We examined the benefits of calcium dobesilate for patients suffering from chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), particularly focusing on how it impacts symptoms like leg cramps. In a systematic evaluation of ten different clinical trials involving 778 patients, we compared the effects of calcium dobesilate to a placebo.
Our analysis found that calcium dobesilate significantly reduced night cramps, helping patients nearly twice as much as those who received a placebo. The number needed to treat for this relief was calculated to be 8, indicating that for every eight patients treated with calcium dobesilate, one experienced noticeable improvement.
Moreover, patients also reported less discomfort, with a number needed to treat of 4 for that symptom. Interestingly, we noted that those with more severe symptoms experienced even greater relief, suggesting that calcium dobesilate is particularly effective for patients with advanced CVI. However, both doses tested—1,000 mg and 1,500 mg—proved equally effective, which is good news as it suggests that a lower dose might suffice.
Additionally, we found that adverse events were not significantly different from the placebo group, indicating a favorable safety profile. While calcium dobesilate shows promise, we acknowledge the need for further studies to solidify these findings and explore its efficacy in various CVI stages.

We examined a collection of randomized controlled trials to determine the impact of calcium plus vitamin D supplementation on fracture prevention.
The results revealed a promising 15% reduction in total fractures and a remarkable 30% drop in hip fractures among those taking these supplements.
This convincing evidence supports the recommendation of calcium and vitamin D for reducing fracture risk, especially in older adults, whether living at home or in care facilities.

I trust Citrical for my osteoporosis management as I have been taking calcium supplements daily since my diagnosis two years ago. It absorbs easily, and I appreciate that I can take it with or without food. Although I expected the petites to be smaller, they assist well with swallowing.
