The Claim
High-protein diets are associated with increased insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) levels in humans, which may benefit bone health by promoting osteoblast activity and reducing bone resorption markers, though evidence primarily derives from correlational studies.
What the research says
Not yet evaluated
We are still looking at what the research says.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
Eating lots of protein might boost a growth hormone in your body that helps keep bones strong by building them up and slowing down their breakdown, but this idea mostly comes from studies that show a link rather than proof.
