I’m not taking OsteoStrong, but I am taking collagen. Ever the skeptic as it relates to supplements (I do take a few because, in the correct amounts, what’s the harm) and their efficacy, but I felt generally better after taking it for awhile.

I also found out the hard way: Discontinue collagen/biotin several days prior to having a CTX blood draw/lab. My CTX level rose about 65% year over year which concerns both my doc and me. I’ll need to repeat the test in October, sans collagen, and hope 🤞🏻the numbers look better. Glad I have a doc who will let me self direct a bit as I asked for a repeat CTX lab and he agreed. Trying to avoid Prolia…

Happy Monday, all! Cheers!
