Is one better than the other? I would like to get started on the Tymlos if BSAP bone marker is ok to use along with the CTX rather than P1NP. It takes so long to get an appointment or answers from my endo that if BSAP is similar to P1NP I’d rather not push or wait to get labs for P1NP and use the BSAP the dr. ordered.

This is a good question. To be honest I don’t know enough to give a proper answer. What I know is IOF (International osteoporosis foundation) and a few others endorsed P1NP as a preferred bone formation marker for osteoporosis assessment and monitoring around 2011. However, BSAP continues to be used by some physicians - it must have its place clinically.
