I know it has been many years since I dealt with statistics but, from a practical point of view, I do not see how the study confirmed any benefit from Fortibone.
treated placebo
BMD Spine baseline -2.5 -2.3
after 1 year -2.54 -225

Femoral neck baseline -1.4 -1.4
after 1 year -1.41 -1.42

Sorry, left out the standard deviations which were +/- 0.6 for spine and +/- 0.5 for femoral neck.

What am I missing?

I agree and, as I stated, I'm concerned about the small effect sizes (take the difference and divide by the pooled SD for Cohen's d).

But . . . I am consuming it everyday in hopes that I see some positive change in my T-scores. If I don't, I'll stop using it, just like I do with the many different face creams I buy based on some wishful Instagram promise 🙂
