and anyone interested in Collagen:
Hello to all.
I'd like to add some comments about Fortibone collagen.

Fortibone is developed by Gelita: it also offers Verisol,
Verigel, and Tendoforte which are other types of Collagen.
The study referred to in this thread was partially
funded by Gelita.

SCP means specific collagen peptides.
The study mention Gelita.

There have been other positive studies with Fortibone 1
without Gelita involvement.
Look at bottom of clinical studies for Conflict of Interest.

Peptides are another word for hydrolized, which means
processed to make it easier to consume.

Gelita does not sell directly to consumers. Different companies
package and sell this product under their own brand names.

You can write Gelita, as I have, to get a list of Brands that
have their products. The list may have changed since I
wrote many months ago. I asked specifically for Type 1.

Very few brands have only Type 1 Collagen.
There are only a handful that I've been able to find.
Many brands mix Type 1 and Type 3 Fortibone.
When buying the mixed, it is difficult to know what proportion
of Type 1 or Type 3 you are consuming in a daily scoop.

I am unaware of studies done with Type 1 and Type 3
together, and if this mix helps bone density.
Clinical tests that show improvement for bone density
were done with Type 1 only.

Interested in your input and opinions.
Thanks.

I tried to buy Gelita Fortibone for a couple of week in Europe. Could not buy it from Gelita, as they do not sell, but at the end could order it on the web site German Amazon. It came now, and I am pleased with the price, as the product and sending only costed me 31 euro.

@bevlevvancouverbc Thank you for all of that information! What are a few of the brands from the list that include Type 1 that you found helpful?

@bevlevvancouverbc I wondered if you had come across the Canadian brand of collagen Organika in your research and if you are aware of the proportions of type 1 and type 3 in this brand I get? I will look into this product further.

@bevlevvancouverbc A quick AI search (if it can be relied on) of Organica Enhanced Protein formula showed this formula consists mainly of type 1 collagen from bovine hide and skin. Organika offers various additional collagen formulas. I get the Enhanced Collagen Protein formula.
