Calcium injection aids knee function
Total Knee Conversion Rates and Functional Outcome After Calcium Phosphate Injection for Bone Marrow Lesions of the Knee.
Highly relevant for knee pain
We explored how calcium phosphate (CaP) injections impact knee pain, particularly in patients suffering from osteoarthritis-related bone marrow lesions (OA-BML). In this study, we compared two groups of patients: those who received knee arthroscopy combined with CaP injections and those who had knee arthroscopy for different knee issues.

Our observations showed that patients receiving the CaP injections experienced less frequent conversions to total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when compared to the other group. Notably, within the CaP group, we noticed a significant improvement in their knee injury and functional outcome scores before and after the procedure. However, patients who only underwent knee arthroscopy did not show the same level of improvement.

Overall, we found that adding CaP injections during knee surgery for OA-BML significantly enhanced functional outcomes over traditional surgery alone. This study underscores the potential benefits of CaP treatments in managing knee pain and improving quality of life for those suffering from knee OA.

Calcium does not enhance PRP
Is There a Need for an Exogenous Activator Along with PRP for Early Knee Osteoarthritis? A Triple-Blinded Randomized Control Trial.
Limited impact of calcium treatment
We explored the role of calcium gluconate as an activator alongside platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections for patients dealing with early knee osteoarthritis. In this study, participants were split into two groups: one received PRP alone, while the other got PRP mixed with calcium gluconate.

Both groups were evaluated over six months for pain relief and overall satisfaction. Interestingly, despite a noticeable decrease in pain and improvement in overall function in both groups, we found no significant differences when comparing the effectiveness of the two treatments.

This led us to conclude that adding calcium gluconate might not provide any extra benefit to PRP injections in managing knee pain for early-stage osteoarthritis, which is quite important for patients considering their treatment options.

Knee healed quickly
It healed my knee pain in a week! After years of taking another brand of calcium that had minimal magnesium and only contained vitamin D2, my injured knee was swollen and painful. I bought this calcium from "Garden of Life", and after just one week, my knee was completely healed. I could climb stairs again, and I am very grateful that iHerb stocks this brand.

Pain reduction noted
My mother only consumed half a pack, but she already noticed a decrease in her knee pain and the crunching sound went away.

Digestive relief found
A month ago, I used these calcium tablets for my mother, and thankfully, they helped her knee pain and improved her digestion over a six-month period.

Lower back improvement
During my pregnancy, I took two capsules a day of this easily absorbed plant calcium, and it significantly improved my lower back pain. The price varies, dropping from $400 to $299 on Black Friday.
