  Calcitonin... but that's not the answer I am looking for. Such hormone deposit calcium into the bone and increases it's rigidity rather than eating it up. This hormone is produced in the C-cells of the thyroid gland and is commonly involved in one of the paraneoplastic syndromes of certain tumors, where calcitonin is produced in a rapid manner leading to thickening of the bones.

  Which one is your answer? There can be only one...
  
  Vit D is known here in its active form as
  
  1,25 - dihydrocholecalciferol (1,25-DHCC)

  Calcitonin is a hormone that plays a role in calcium and bone metabolism. When used regularly, it can slow the loss of bone.
  
  Don't think this hormone will eat bone.

  Precisely... usually in a thyroidectomy, surgeons often leave such small organs behind, maybe leave at least one or two so as to prevent any implications of bone metabolism.

  And useful thing
  They will ever ask for
