@nycmusic My company's R&D found that most collagen powders were like throwing spaghetti to the wall hoping some will stick.
Theirs is designed to work in synergy with the body and cause it to produce more of its own collagen...that is what I chose. Mela Boost Collagen
@nycmusic I take OsteoNaturals that is composed of Fortibone, a well studied collagen peptide.

You can look for posts on Collagen in Mayo Connect for more info. Supplements containing Fortibone have shown positive results in several studies. You can do a google search for more info. Below is a link to one study which has this conclusion: "the findings of this randomized, placebo-controlled trial demonstrate, that supplementation with 5 g of specific collagen peptides significantly increases bone mineral density of the lumbar spine and the femoral neck as well as blood levels of the bone marker, P1NP, in postmenopausal women with age-related decline in BMD."

I recently started taking AlgaeCal collagen powder supplement that has Fortibone. It's available on Amazon and is pricey.
