Rating (out of 5): 3

Amino acid and protein blends are scientifically supported for their role in supporting the healing of broken bones. Bone repair is a complex process that requires adequate nutrition, particularly sufficient protein intake. Proteins and their building blocks, amino acids, are essential for the synthesis of collagen, which forms the organic matrix of bone and provides the framework for mineralization. Several clinical and preclinical studies have shown that protein malnutrition impairs fracture healing, while adequate or increased protein intake improves the rate and quality of bone repair. Specific amino acids such as lysine, arginine, and proline are important for collagen formation and may further support bone healing. A 2017 review in the journal "Nutrients" highlights the role of dietary protein and amino acids in bone health and fracture healing, noting that supplementation can be especially important in elderly patients or those with poor nutritional status. However, while there is a clear biological basis and supporting evidence for the use of protein and amino acid blends in fracture recovery, more controlled clinical trials are needed to determine optimal types, dosages, and combinations. In summary, the use of amino acid/protein blends to support healing of broken bones is scientifically justified and moderately well supported by current evidence.
