I started taking Osteo Collagen-Pep (Fortibone) from Dr. McCormick's site back in late November, or early December. It's really good quality at a great price. Whether or not it's helping, I can't say because I've made so many changes (medication, diet, supplements, exercise and stress reduction) that any or all of them could be adding benefits.
I am doing something right. My first DEXA was in January of last year. I had my second DEXA two weeks ago, and it showed a 7.2% improvement in my spine. The hip is unchanged (not worse :))
I guess the only way to know if Fortibone specifically is making a difference is to only take that and do nothing else. I just take it because it MAY help, and it doesn't seem to be doing any harm. The way that I see it is that even if each thing I'm doing to better my bone metabolism works to a small degree, together it could add up to a significant improvement.
I started using osteonaturals by Dr. McCormick, and I have noticed that my grip strength is much stronger. Started in February. I exercise and eat well, do weights sporadically because I play tennis and do not want to aggravate my elbows.
I looked at both, I was interested in osteonaturals but it is not delivered internationally.
Does anyone know of a product with 5g of fortibone that is available online to Australia?
When I first started using Fortibone the only product I could find was from Australia. It's called Nutra Organics, Collagen Body with Fortibone + Vitamin D & Calcium, unflavored. https://nutraorganics.com.au/products/collagen-for-bones?variant=17109535621235
I live in the US, they shipped it to me. The shipping cost was expensive. Eventually products with Fortibone started showing up in the US.

I have been taking Vital Protein Collagen Peptides. I stared taking it for hair and joints. I have osteopenia and have recently read Fortibone in the college was better to build bone. Does anyone recommend a specific brand? Since I take it, I should use one that is perhaps helpful to bones.
I have osteopenia. I exercise/strength build, however last Dexa scan spine actually was better hip/neck were worse. My doctor told me discontinue calcium supplements a long time ago. She retired and I had to fine a new doctor. I have as of now gone to two new PCP’s and both said I should take t calcium supplements. I asked about risk of calcification in arteries and the response was. “That would take along time and would be worse to fracture a bone.” I do take Vitamin D. Does anyone take calcium supplements and/or have ideas about this? I have also read Vitamin K2 is good to take with calcium as helps absorb the calcium in bones instead of arteries?
Does anyone have experience with this? The new doctors just don’t seem to
want to discuss other than take calcium.

Thank you so much, I appreciate your feedback. I did get onto this product, it arrived the other day, just started taking it.
Just joined this group and I'm not sure how to search the posts, but has anyone experienced hypercalcemia from using products with FORTIBONE?
Also, wondering if the 5g dose can be split into morning and night to avoid the possibility of hypercalcemia?
Finally, has anyone tried putting the product in capsules and swallowing those?
Thanks.
