Not OP, but it's 5 grams. I said kg in my post someplace up there :), but I should have written grams. Dr. McCormick's collagen shows the dosage as 5 grams.

I am currently taking Key Collagen sold by Nutrikey. It has 5 mg of FORTIBONE and it also has three other types of collagen peptides by Gelita.
In a few days, I will run out of Key Collagen and I'm switching to a product with 5 mg of FORTIBONE only. This product is sold by Dr. R. Keith McCormick. It's called Osteo Collagen-Pep. I'm switching because it is less expensive than the product by Nutrikey and I'm not convinced collagen peptides are effective so I only want the FORTIBONE.
I don't know if it's working, yet. My next DEXA scan will be in a year. I've been taking FORTIBONE for six months. The two studies that I know of participants took it for a year.
Where do you purchase the Key Collagen or Osteo Collagen Pep? I can't find a website searching under that name or Dr McCormick. Is Fortibone any different than other collagen peptide products? Is this product doctor recommended? I'm currently taking a multi-collagen protein powder by Horbaach that contains 5 types of peptides. Thanks.

Check out BONE COACH. I follow him. He was 29 when he found he has osteoporosis. Became a big advocate. I don't think he believes in meds and injection, but for me it was after I was on TYMLOS that probably the best one I had. Within 15 months my DEXA showed spine from -3.7 to -3.0 and hips went down to -2.7. my body felt strong. Regretfully I did not complete 18 -24 months due to increase of out of pocket starting with $1000 a month. Then went to Prolia for one year didn't like the knees and hips ache, I quit that and went to the MOST DANGEROUS RECLAST INFUSION!!!, That was 3/7 on this year...still in pain. I don't think I will take anything for awhile. I will take as they call HOLIDAY from from meds, stick with my vegan diet, take vitamins and just added Collagen powder with FOTIGEL FORTIBONE 5000mg, TENDOFORTE COLLAGEN 5000mg. Not from Bone coach, his prices are high. Bought it on Amazon but I learned a lot from him. And YES ITSY NOT VEGAN...but got to do what I got to do withy BIG PHARMA POISIONING OUR BODIES. Good luck to all of us!. If anyone took Reclat Would love to hear an impute please
Can someone explain to me the difference between Fortibone and other hydrolyzed collagen peptides? Or is that simply the brand name of one source of the collagens? Their website compares Fortibone to a placebo but not to a more generic form of hydrolyzed collagen peptide. Being that these are supplements, they are not regulated by FDA.

Dr. McCormick's description from his OsteoNaturals shop is the best explanation I've been able to find.
You can read it directly on his site, or at the end of this comment where I've cut and pasted it.
The description on Dr. McCormick's site reads as follows:
"OsteoCollagen-Pep (Fortibone by Gelita) is unique among collagen products as it not only provides amino acids for collagen synthesis, but due to a highly controlled hydrolyzation process in its manufacturing that preserves specific Bioactive Collagen Peptides, this product has been shown to promote bone building activity.(1) Not only is OsteoCollagen-Pep 100% Type 1 collagen (the best at promoting improved bone health) but approximately 10% is absorbed intact as single helical, 5kDa amino acid polypeptide chains. These chains consist primarily of repeating glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline amino acids providing favorable folding and stability to facilitate absorption through the gut wall. These intact polypeptide chains then bind directly to receptor sites on bone-buildig osteoblasts while the other 90% is broken down into amino acids providing substrate for the osteoblasts to build bone.
In a 2017 study of 131 postmenopausal women, just 5 grams (one scoop) a day for one-year increased P1NP (a bone formation laboratory biomarker), and improved bone mineral density in the spine by 4% and in the femoral neck by 7%. By providing the basic amino acid building blocks for quality bone formation and Bioactive Collagen Peptides to stimulate osteoblasts to build bone, OsteoCollagen-Pep provides a dynamic one-two-punch that epitomizes OsteoNaturals' slogan: Where Bone Strength Begins.

That's correct.
Keep in mind that the study was funded by Gelita, the manufactures of Fortibone. If they were to compare hydrolyzed collagen peptides to their product, and they were equally effective, there would be no financial advantage for them.
Unfortunately, no research has even been done comparing hydrolyzed collagen peptides to placebo. Because it's not proprietary, it would be difficult to get anyone to fund such a study. All we have to go by is the study on Fortibone, and don't know how other collagen on the market compares.

Sorry it is 5 grams
I missed the kg comment. That would be some capsule..

Hello -
Here is the link to Dr. McCormick's collagen:

Here is the link to Nutrikey's collagen, which I've been taking.
https://nutrikey.net/collections/nutrikey-products/products/key-collagen-525g
Nutrikey carries other collagen products with Fortibone so you may want to look at those, as well.
I hope this helps.
