Hi, Jane.

Hydroxyapatite (2 grams twice a day), Vitamin C [esterified](2 grams twice a day) and Zinc (100 milligrams elemental) twice a day, have all been shown to speed bone healing.

Also, remember Dr Becker's little DC machine that all hospitals now have to rent out (for bones that tend not to heal). The humerous is not one of them (depending on your age).
