Thank you for your interest in our protocol to help support your healing of your foot and ankle fracture.
Nutritional Support for Foot & Ankle Fracture Healing: Simplified Standard Process Protocol
Focus: Accelerating Bone Union & Tissue Repair
Fractures in the foot/ankle require optimal nutrition for callus formation, mineralization, and remodeling—often delayed in smokers, diabetics, or those with poor circulation. While rest, casting/boot, weight-bearing status, and physical therapy are primary, whole-food supplements nourish bone-specific processes.
Disclaimer Educational only—not medical advice. Standard Process products do not diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent fractures or complications. Consult your podiatrist, orthopedist, or physician before starting (pre-op/post-op clearance needed; vitamin D/calcium can interact with some meds). Monitor healing via X-ray/follow-up; report increased pain/swelling.
Key Lifestyle Essentials
- Follow non-weight-bearing or protected weight-bearing as prescribed
- Elevate foot; ice as directed to reduce swelling
- Protein-rich diet (1.2–2g/kg body weight) for tissue repair
- No smoking; limit alcohol/caffeine
- Gentle ROM exercises when cleared
3-Core Supplement Protocol (Targeted for Fracture Healing)
| Priority |
Product |
Suggested Dosage (per label / common use) |
Key Rationale for Foot/Ankle Fracture Healing |
| 1 (Primary – Bone Tissue Nourishment) |
Ostrophin PMG® |
1 tablet 3× daily (on empty stomach) |
Proprietary Protomorphogen™ (PMG) blend from veal bone provides nucleotides/peptides + calcium/manganese for natural bone tissue support—promotes healthy bone remodeling and union in fractures. |
| 2 (Primary – Calcium & Mineral Support) |
Calcifood® (or Calcifood Wafers/Powder) |
3 wafers or 1–2 scoops powder daily (with meals) |
Whole-food calcium (from defatted bone meal, organic kale, etc.) supports strong bone building and mineralization—excellent source of bioavailable calcium for callus formation in foot/ankle bones. |
| 3 (Add-On – Vitamin D & Absorption) |
Cataplex® D |
1–2 tablets daily (with meals) |
Provides 1,600 IU vitamin D + synergistic nutrients to support healthy calcium absorption, bone density, and immune function—critical for enhancing mineral uptake during fracture repair. |
Sample Daily Regimen
- Morning (empty stomach): Ostrophin PMG (1 tab)
- With breakfast: Calcifood (3 wafers or 1 scoop) + Cataplex D (1 tab)
- With dinner: Ostrophin PMG (1 tab) + Calcifood (remaining dose) + Cataplex D (1 tab if 2/day)
Duration & Monitoring
- Start post-fracture (or pre-op if cleared); continue 8–12+ weeks or until radiographic union
- Track: Pain, swelling, mobility; follow X-rays for callus/bridging
- Re-evaluate with provider; adjust based on healing stage
Podiatry Note As a foot specialist in Eureka, Missouri, I see foot/ankle fractures heal more predictably with nutritional support alongside casting, CAM boots, or surgical fixation. This protocol pairs well with red light therapy for inflammation, custom orthotics post-healing, or physical therapy. Schedule a visit to personalize and monitor your fracture progress.
