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.

Did this study use a specific collagen eg Fortibone?

Thank you for posting this collagen study. It was great to read. My CTX came down by 80% after 8 months on BHRT which no doubt played a large role in this reduction. My spine T score also went from -3 to -2.6 during this same period. I have always wondered if my supplements I began taking about 7 months before starting BHRT, including 10 mg of collagen peptides daily, played any role in these reductions. After reading this study, it appears possible, at least the collagen.
