Confused by doctor options to choose, including Keith McCormick
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 4 days ago | Replies (171)Comment receiving replies
I have read a bunch of threads with replies to others that mention these supplements. It would be nice to have a post that only discusses peoples’ life experience with using these for osteoporosis. Anybody care to share? I am just starting my journey and would appreciate any insights. I am about to begin reading his books as well. Thank you.

I took his OsteoNaturals collagen for about a year. Not sure if it helped as I was on anabolic medication at the same time.
I had a consult with him and I have his book. Some people dismiss him because he's a chiropractor and not an MD. However, all his information is science based and he has references to back it up. He also has osteoporosis himself so he has skin in the game. I found him much more helpful than my doctors who were simply too busy to thoroughly assess my situation and point me in the right direction. I did purchase his collagen and I have noticed a big difference in my nails-I've been able to grow long nails again! Is it helping my bones? I don't know. I haven't started any meds yet, but I feel more confident in the treatment plan I have going forward now. Best of luck to you!
Hello @shocknot26,

As @tillymack, mentioned there are many posts and discussions around this topic. This discussion is a long one but contains many members discussing supplements and their experiences and may be worth your time reading through.
You may find this article helpful as well:
"Osteoporosis treatment: Medications can help"

This article from Mayo Clinic talks about supplements, diet and lifestyle changes that play a role in bone health. However, it does come down to an individual diagnosis and how severe one's osteoporosis is. There may come a point in your diagnosis where supplements and lifestyle changes are not enough on their own to treat your osteoporosis.
Have you had a chance to have this discussion with your provider to find a solution that incorporates all aspects of the osteoporosis diagnosis?
