How much Magnesium Gly. should we take with all the other vitamins and should it be taken at night?

@ipg Here is one study on Fortibone collagen supplements that says:
"Conclusions: Long-term supplementation with specific bioactive collagen peptides appears to be effective in counteracting losses in BMD. Moreover, significant increases in BMD could contribute to improved bone stability."
When the study mentions "specific bioactive collagen peptides" it is referring to Fortibone.

@ipg That's the brand I use. It's the cheapest Fortibone collagen I found, cheapest if you buy two at once and/or sign up for auto delivery on Amazon.

Do you think it helps??

@ipg I'm not sure how I will know for certain since I'm also taking a lot of vitamins and supplements. I'm taking it based on the studies that show it helps BMD, especially since I don't want to take any of the bone drugs.

@ipg I'm 76 and my DEXA scores are -2.7 in my hips and -4,1 in my spine. Due to parathyroid issues, I can't take Tymlos or Forteo. I want to avoid Prolia due to increased fracture risk after stopping, think Evenity is too new and too expensive, and have read that bisphosphonates offer minimal benefits as far as fracture prevention. I am concentrating on supplements, diet and exercise. I am going to discuss HRT with my doctor, but have already been told by two other doctors that it's not recommended.
