Hello:
thank you Melia 7 for link to Amazon.de
The supplier from that website will not ship to Canada.
My search for Fortibone Type 1 only continues..

This may not be the thread for it,
however,
I've seen a large amount of ads for Osteoboost wearable vibration belt.
It is made by
Bone Health Technologies (BHT), a company based in Redwood City, California.
It is a prescription only device, but they will help get you a referral.

this information is from their website:
"Step 2: Get a prescription from your doctor or through our telehealth partner
Download a form for your doctor or request a prescription online
through our telehealth partner, Beluga Health—
no appointment or video visit needed."

costs approx $1,000 to $1,500 U.S.
https://www.osteoboost.com/products/osteoboost
It has acquired, in 2024, Wellen, that have exercise-based osteoporosis care,
which it says is personalized and science backed.
I've seen and enjoy some of Wellen exercizes on the web.

Many of the links on the web, say that this device is
FDA 'approved' - a step up from previous FDA 'cleared'
There is a difference in 'approved' vs 'cleared.

Dr Jocelyn Wittstein, whose videos I find informative,
has an Instagram about Osteoboost, 3 weeks ago, where she
mentions it as FDA 'approved'

JMR notes on benefits published July 2024

reply April 2025 'concerns' about published article on benefits
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12035689/
this is the latest I could find from FDA, Jan. 2024
accessdata.fda (.gov)
https://www.accessdata.fda.gov › cdrh_docs › pdf23
PDF

It is expensive, but if it helps osteopenia and osteoporosis,
I am very interested knowing more about it.
I have written to several of the
web sources, as well as Dr Wittstein,
and asked for a link to confirm this device is now FDA 'approved'
and
I would wait to see more clinical studies, without Osteoboost
personnel involved, before purchasing.

Has anyone on this forum bought and used one, and had
gains in spine, with or without other medication that you wish
to share with us.
I am open to rebuttals.
Good strength and good bones..
