Caffeine & Broken Bones

[PhatBoy]

Can anyone confirm caffeine will slow down the healing process of broken bones...
I have a broken tibia, its been healing over the past 2 months but im worried ive stopped it healing quicker by drinking coffee.
I had no idea it causes calcium loss unitll researching the topic of bone healing....
I have about 3-4 espresso a day, lucky i dont smoke. major no no for bones
At least ive been only been having 100% Arabica, slightly less caffeine content than a blend with Robusta im hoping

Sounds interesting but would suggest that there are many other reasons as the what may impead healing etc... A balanced diet and rest...
