FYI, there is a guy in the Starting Strength community who had pins throughout his legs as a result of falling off of a roof. His bones became so much more dense as a result of lifting heavy that he had to have surgery to have the pins removed; they were literally being pushed out of his bones. I don't think any amount of nutrition is capable of something comparable.
If you stop to consider what's going on, it makes a lot of sense. Your body is adaptive. This includes bones as well as muscles. In the same way that you need to add muscle mass in order to lift progressively heavier weight, your bones, too, need to become stronger to support lifting heavier weight. They do this by becoming denser.
