“Two growth factors—bone morphogenetic protein 2 (BMP2) and platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)—are currently approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to assist with bone healing.”
BMP2 has problems, but is used (injected, it seems) for spinal fusions and other bone work.

Platelet-derived growth factor seems to be used for a variety of occasions, also injected:

I think I’d prefer the PDGF.
For osteoporosis they want me to give myself daily shots of Forteo, which is supposed to regenerate bone. I read tons of reviews and the majority of side effects are atrocious. Decided against it. Will take my chances with calcium.
I thought one of these treatments in the article might address that, but probably not.
Thank you for replying with the info!
