Collagen for bone loss? Effective?

I am not going get a REMS until doctors begin to accept or prescribe based on REMS. I am not saying I do not trust the REMS, just that it is not accepted in the US medical establishment. I also do not see a physician for my OP, because I am confident right now that what I am doing is positive. No fracture history and no cancer history. My younger sister started on meds years ago and never had any solid response until a year of evenity. She was advised to go on prolia as a follow up and chose not to. Her lumbar spine is 5.1 now and her doc is advising reclast. She is undecided. She is in a tough spot because she has taken all these meds, and yet never fractured. It is a lot of years to be on these meds. Good luck

My functional medicine doctor, certified by N. A. Menopause Society,
recognizes REMS, but I had it done for my own interest before I consulted
her as it provides a bone quality score as well, is well accepted in Europe
and relatively low cost in Canada. Fortunately I have so far not fractured
either and hope to continue to avoid medication. As I mentioned, the BHRT,
prescribed by the functional medicine physician, reduced my CTX bone
turnover score by 80 percent which makes me confident I've stopped the
rapid bone loss.That is unfortunate your sister didn't benefit initially
from the medication. Do you mean that her current spine level is -5.1 after
Evenity? I wish you continuing success in your journey.
