Fortibone for Osteoporosis

@rwrighto I've started taking OsteoCollagen-Pep. It's pure Fortibone, 5 gm, dissolves completely in my morning coffee. I've read it's very cost effective but I haven't compared.

@bethieb

I started using algaecal when osteocollagen was back ordered

I wish I knew which or if they work

@bethieb I've been using OsteoCollagen-Pep for a while. It's not cheap, but that is partly because the container is large (16 ounces.) $60 plus $11 shipping.

There is a Fortibone product on Amazon, Healthy Bones, that costs $24 for 5.3 ounces. That is expensive per ounce, but if you get free Prime shipping, you are paying $72 for 15.9 ounces, which is comparable to OsteoCollagen-Pep when shipping is considered. OsteoCollagen-Pep is currently out of stock, which happens every so often.

I've been using AlgaeCal collagen with Fortibone from Amazon, but now the price has gone up from $47.43 to $55.80 for 30 servings (with the auto-ship program). The original price was already outrageous. I will be switching to Healthy Bones Co. Collagen Peptides Total Body Formula. Like AlgeaCal, it contains Fortibone, Fortigel and Verisol, 13g collagen peptides and 12g protein. It does not contain the amino acids that AlgaeCal does. The price with auto-ship for 30 servings is $48.24.

Are there any Fortibone formulations not made with beef collagen?

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted.
The last Dexa scan I had was July of 2025. I then wanted to get a REMs Scan in Danville, CA . My bone quality was not as great as I hoped it was.
I’ve been taking Native Path Bone Health with Fortibone for a year and a half.
My last Dexa did not show any improvement.
I’m taking two scoops a day now with one scoop of Marine Collogen as well.
Taking 1000 IU D3 (was taking 2000 but Endocrinologist said to lower due to my blood work results show some signs of kidney problems.
I’ve tried to cut down on sugar a little alcohol, still doing yoga and Pilates 4-5 x week , walking 3-4 miles every day or skip a day.
50 or more deep squats 3x a week . Added homemade Walnut butter .
Adding more Omega 3’s which helps build bones instead of Omega 6’s that actually prevents building bones is important. Many really good veggies are higher in Omega 6’s. That’s all I got for ya!
1 teaspoon of Carlsons Liquid fish oil daily.
Tried vibrating plates, not a big fa and no proof it builds bone density. Hopping on one foot but it jarred my lower back.

@nitzapitza I know you post is pretty old at this point, it was just doing some more research on collagen and saw your post. I did the reclast infusion with a terrible reaction. My whole back was one big muscle spasm that lasted through the weekend with a fever that got up to 102 the day after the infusion. The endocrinologist suggests 6 doses of collagen a day, but most collagen is approx 50 calories per serving, that’s an extra 300 calories a day! He did not suggest any specific brand and did not mention the FORTIBONE. I’ve been using a Verisol type but it seems, from what I’m finding today, that probably won’t do much for my bone health. I have an appt with him next week. I guess I’ll ask him about it.

@daisy17 Update, I went back to AlgaeCal as the price of Healthy Bones seems to have gone up. It's cheapest to buy two containers of AlgaeCal at the auto-ship program.

@mkblack67 I take ALGAECAL Collagen Peptides Powder – Multi Collagen Peptides with VERISOL®, FORTIGEL®, UC-II®, FORTIBONE. It has 45 calories per serving.

@daisy17 I think I might switch to that if I get the ok from my endocrinologist. Maybe with that one I can strengthen my bones with only 1 dose a day.
