There appears to be little benefit of increasing protein intake for bone health in healthy adults but there is also clearly no indication of any detrimental effect , at least within the protein intakes of the population s studied ( around 0.8–1.3 g/Kg/day ) .
We undertook a systematic review and meta- analysis of published papers assessing  dietary protein and bone health .

Relationships between usual nutrient intake and bone-mineral content of women 35-65 years of age: longitudinal and cross-sectional analysis.
In a 4-yr clinical trial , effect on single-photon absorptiometric measurements of arm bones of usual intakes of energy and 14 nutrients plus vitamin-mineral supplements was studied in 99 women , aged 35 - 65 , r and omly assigned to placebo ( NS ) or calcium-supplemented ( 1.5 g)(S ) groups . Cross-sectional analysis of initial bone measurements showed vitamin C ( r = 0.313 , p less than 0.05 ) and niacin ( r = 0.353 , p less than 0.01 ) correlated with ulna in postmenopausal subjects ( n = 67 ) . Longitudinal analysis of bone-change rates of postmenopausal subjects ( NS + S ) showed higher  calcium  intakes associated with lower loss rates of humerus bone-mineral content ( BMC ) ( r = 0.360 , p less than 0.01 ) . In postmenopausal NS but not S subjects , energy , protein , calcium , phosphorus , zinc , and folate correlate significantly with change in radius BMC ; high levels of intake correlated with slower loss ( p less than 0.05 ) . Several nutrients besides calcium are related to bone loss in women
