Collagen for osteoporosis?

Posted by cpb @cpb, Jul 26, 2021

My friend's medical doctor has her take collagen for her bones. I decided to try it and wondered if anyone knows more than I do about this.

the type of collagen supplement matters! Search the Mayo site for "Fortibone for Osteoporosis", it's had the research done. Find a product that contains Fortibone.

I also would like to learn more about collagen supplements. Have any of you tried Bone Coach’s collagen?

I've been taking Vital Proteins with 20g of collagen peptides, but have wondered if this is the best one. I saw another one advertised with a much higher level, but not sure what's best. Regular doctor and rheumatologist both shrugged and said collagen is not likely to do much of anything.

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 am taking Algaecal collagen and find it to be very easy. It’s tasteless and I add to my coffee every morning. I’ve seen a difference in my skin and hair as well. It’s a great product!

I take Algaecal Plus and I'm considering Algaecal Complete too. How long have you been taking it? I had good results with Algaecal and still take it but now have developed Reactive Arthritis and I know it's damaging by bones.

I'm interested in anyone with results from collagen.
