lurawilson, it is only my opinion, but once you have an OP diagnosis, you must remain ever vigilant—make sure you are addressing the deficiencies in your diet and doing whatever you can to support your metabolism. Since collagen is a major component of the bone matrix, collagen peptides provide an easy way to incorporate this into your daily diet. For that reason, I find them indispensable as a dietary supplement.
Sure, you could go off them, but you better be extra careful that you are getting sufficient collagen from your food.
I’m not familiar with Dr. McCormick’s Osteocollagen-Pep, though many people seem to have been helped by him. I’m just leery of anyone who has a story to tell and a product to sell!

I also find myself leery about many of the people who hold themselves out as OP experts, apparently making a living about providing help for a condition that screams medical void.

But after several years, I have changed my tune about McCormick primarily because of the thoroughness of his books. Great Bones is extraordinarily helpful for its state of the art explanation about OP mechanics and treatment. It is thoroughly annotated. I would likely consult him in the future if needed.

Even considering purchasing his collagen product but would first love to hear from others who have used the product. My research suggests it is well targeted and reasonably priced when compared with market alternatives.
