I contacted Dr. McCormick 4/10/2023 about his collagen product with Fortibone looking for documentation about Fortibone being FDA approved as he was advertising. He suggested I contact Gelita the manufacturer of Fortibone. I did via their website but they never responded. I asked Dr. McCormick again, stating that he was stating it in selling his collagen supplement so I would think he could provide me with this information to share with my endocrinologist. His response was "The FDA does not approve nutritional supplements. Rather, companies comply with FDA guidelines during their manufacturing process." My response was "Hmm.. you specifically state "Regarding the safety of OsteoCollagen-Pep: Fortibone is FDA approved." This is what I have passed on to my endocrinologist. No wonder she didn't believe me.
You should take that statement out as now you are saying differently and people, like me, believed that it was FDA approved because I read it on your website. Very misleading...."
He then responded:

Corrected...my sincerest apologies.

And he did, his OsteoCollagen-Pep no longer states that as of 4/25/2023. I buy my Collagen with Fortibone from Sparkle Wellness, it is called Osteo Boost. I have not been consistent taking this but my Dexa score did not change in the 17 months I worked harder at diet, exercise and this product on and off. I am now trying to take it daily.

Anybody use Vital Proteins collagen?
