← Return to Collagen for osteoporosis?

Hi,
I take Algaecal Plus and had good results with it but then I tested positive for autoimmune disease and started having reactive arthritis about every 6 months. I know that my bones have suffered because of this. I have an appointment in April for a DEXA so I will find out.
My pc doctor and rheumatologist both say no to collagen but I'm interested in the new collagen complete from Algaecal because I definitely won't do the Reclast that the doctor said he would recommend for me! That's why I take Algaecal because I wouldn't take Fossamax. He was OK with that after I had good results with it.

I was supposed to take Reclast as per my endocrinologist but upon further research I learned once it is in your body and there is a negative reaction there is "no going back." This means you are stuck with this in your system. I have dercided to take Forteo because there isn't any chance of osteocronosis or breaking my femur! It has the least amount of side effects out of all the medicines I researched and it does not stay in your system for a long time.

Why did your doctors say no to collagen, if you don’t mind my asking? I too am conflicted about this.
