Here's a paper discussing Covid's impact on bone metabolism:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10912131/
It's lengthy but here are a couple of paragraphs from the paper that summarize the impact.

"Emerging research suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have significant effects on bone health, potentially leading to bone loss. Two studies identified hypocalcemia, characterized by low blood calcium levels, as a prevalent condition in SARS-CoV-2 patients, and low levels correlated with increased disease severity and worse clinical outcomes [75, 76]. A third study found SARS-CoV-2 infection altered bone turnover markers, suggesting that even moderate severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection could impact bone health and potentially lead to bone loss, even without concurrent hypocalcemia [77•].

These findings increase concern that SARS-CoV-2 infection may have long-term effects on bone health, underscoring the importance of evaluating patients’ bone turnover markers and fracture risk post-recovery."

Thank you for the link. There is an incredible amount to understand and absorb.

In particular, the statements about BTM's are interesting given how much controversy there seems to be about the use of BTM's for monitoring treatment.
