Collagen for osteoporosis?

I put one scoop - 10g in my morning coffee.

Good luck. I hope your score improves also. Interesting that you take 10g. I am not sure, but I understood 5g to be a sufficient dose. Osteocollagen pep which was referenced by others on this site is a 5g dose and only includes fortibone. Maybe the lower dose would be easier on the stomach.
Good luck in April!!! And, thanks for sharing. I really appreciate it.

Hi, @lamd, I just had a bone density done last week. They measured my spine and wrist (they can't do my hip because I have fractured both of them). Anyway, results were a mixed bag. Very happy that spine density increased by 10.4%! However wrist decreased by about the same amount, so go figure! I must say that I also started strength exercises, just dumbells at home, and have made huge changes to my diet. I will continue with the collagen pep as I had no side effects at all. I have tried a couple of other fortibone products and find dr Mccormick's to be the best. Best of luck to you!

Thank you. I may switch from native path to Dr McCormick s.

Hi @maureenanne
Such good news regarding your spine density increase, that is quite a difference, so happy for you on that. Not sure I understand how one area can go up, while the other goes down, but as you say, exercise may help. Your results and other research has convinced me to give fortibone a try, for sure. I have started some weight bearing exercise also. Exercise helps in so many ways. Thanks for your help. Stay in touch as we travel this road! I wish you well.

I like chocolate milk, so one of my go-to drinks is eight ounces of lowfat milk mixed with some Ovaltine and a tablespoon of collagen peptide. It's a nice little calcium/collagen drink, and you can't taste the collagen at all.

@maureenanne, were you taking any meds or is this increase in spine from diet, weights and collagen?

Hi @loplady, no I was not taking any meds. I had 1 prolia shot almost 2 yrs ago and had an allergic reaction, so I never took any of them again, and never will. My #'s are still not great, but I'm encouraged that changes to my diet, exercise, and overall lifestyle has made even a modest improvement. I wish you well!

I take Anthony's Collagen. I use 2 Tablespoons to my coffee or a smoothie everyday is 11 grams of protein. It is hydrolyzed. I love it and I have been on many different brands of collagen over the years. I tried Native Path Bone Builder for the Fortibone. After about 2 months of drinking it daily, I began to have serious problem with blood in my bowel movements with every movement. Scared me badly! I contacted the Native Path Company. I sent the jars I had remaining in my order as I ordered 6 at one time. They refunded me my money. Within a couple days of stopping the product, my bowl movements returned to normal.

Thank you. I think I will send my unused ones back.
