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.

Knees recovered
Good calcium! I purchased this for my husband, who took it alongside Glucosamine and Chondroitin. It worked very well. He previously experienced knee pain from cycling and gym workouts, but after taking the calcium, his knees have fully recovered. I also read that coral calcium is effective at alkalising the body.

Knee relief experienced
I purchased this coral calcium because my knees were hurting. After taking it, I've felt relief and noticeable benefits. The large packaging lasts a long time, and I appreciate the quality and ingredients. It’s a must-have with age!

Leg pain relief
I took this calcium during my pregnancy. Coral calcium is well absorbed. My legs hurt during that time, but after starting the calcium, the pain ceased, and I had no dental issues. I recommend it to everyone!

Joints feel better
This is the best calcium I've tried! I've noticed an improvement in my joints, particularly my knees, as I run and put them under stress. They hurt less now.

Improved knee situation
I purchased calcium since the joints in my knee and foot began to ache, although I am still quite young. Unsure if there was a deficiency, I opted to order it. After taking 2 capsules for about two weeks, I find them easy to swallow despite their size. The benefits are clear as I’ve noticed an improvement; my knee no longer hurts.
