@lamd yes, I take the 3 pills a day in addition to the collagen. I do not know yet what the results will be until my next scan. I am also taking Tymlos so it will be hard to tease out. In the book, Great Bones McCormick writes extensively about various supplements that have evidence of being helpful.
I haven’t looked specifically at the Thorne advances bone support or the pure encapsulation calcium, but those are both good brands and third party verified.
It is frustrating that we have to research all this on our own. The mantra is always “ask your doctor” but all my doctor knows about is calcium and vitamin D, and I don’t think that can be the whole story.
Best of luck to you on your journey!

Edited to add-
When you are looking at the osteonaturals label remember that the amount of the nutrients listed is for all 3 pills. 3 pills is considered to be one dose. That’s o e of the things I liked about it - no mega doses of anything.

@lamd today’s members’ bulletin from ConsumerLabs features very useful info about bone supplements that they tested extensively, in effect being 3rd party testing for a number of well-known brands.

@lamd
First, I want to say, I am on my second bottle of each supplement (3 of each daily), and the Collegen. I had my blood tested and didn’t see anything significantly different than before I started taking them.

I will have my blood tested every few months (2-3) to make sure the supplements are not effecting me adversely. Normally when I asked my PCP to order blood tested they will put in an order, no questions asked.

I am taking 3 of each Osteosustain and Osteostim supplements per day. I space them out and take with food. The book talks about each one and after reading it I felt these dosages were minimum. We do get some of these in our diets, however I know I don’t get all of them, as I looked up what has boron and some of the other minerals and knew I wasn’t eating enough of them. Prunes (4-5 daily) have boron in them. I don’t eat prunes due to GI issues. I also take the Collegen prep from Osteonaturals and the Whey drink. Keith Mc Cormick (author of Great Bones) on one of the interviews I watched cautions on too much Collagen , so his dosage on the Collagen he offers is 5 gm , so just enough, and it is Fortibone which he states is directly for your bones. Algea Cal has more Collegen and different types of as well as 5 gm of Fortibone.

I won’t be able to get another Dexa scan for almost 2 years. I read “do what you can do” ….. So, at this point I’ll stay with the supplements. McCormick also states if you can, find an endocrinologist that specializes in Osteoporosis. So far I have not been able to find one, so I’ll keep looking for an endocrinologist that will respect what I have to say, and take time to explain and consider different options.
