Calcium is not going to directly affect the cartilage damage.
Cartilage damage whatever healing can happen will happen even if you don't take calcium supplements.
Only in case you are osteoporotic , meaning your bones are very weak, then you may need calcium supplements.
Routine diet has enough calcium. What you need is vitamin D supplement to absorb that calcium.

vitamin d levels checked

Hello.
In early cartilage damage shel cal can't be one much help.
Use glycosamines may be more helpful.
