← Return to Bone turnover markers (CTX and P1NP): do you have a baseline?

It is observed that in post menopausal women, almost no one's ctx is below 250 at baseline, with just a few exceptions. Once a bisphosphonate is started, a responder's ctx generally goes down a lot by week 12. In this case, fasamax. On average, ctx goes down by 50% by week 1 and 80% by week 12 of fosamax treatment. Ctx stays down (p1np too) as long as you stay on the med. Assuming your baseline ctx is 250 (rare, chances are you had a higher baseline ctx), you had a 72.4% reduction in ctx in 7 weeks of fosamax treatment! Please share your results if you are going to test again, if you could.

Curiously, what's the reason of supplementing methylated B12? Did you get tested for the need?
Thanks a lot?

@cllsewlily thanks a lot!!!, no question marks 🙂

What is the source of your claim that almost no post-menopausal woman's baseline CTX is below 250?
