@littledodge Sorry for the slow response - desk time has been bumped this last week. 🙁
Vitality Calcium Complete is the name.

I shop at this wellness manufacturer (have for 34 years); their intense honesty is what has caused me to be so skeptical of supplements because their R&D has found and shared a lot of disappointing stuff:Mislabeled amounts, ingredients, effectiveness
They own the two patents on the "fix" for minerals crystalizing in the small intestines. Not remembering what I wrote and not taking time to look 🙁 - I have seen this company throw away millions of dollars worth of supplements after that discovery of a problem that ALL major supplement companies had at the time it was discovered. (short of a long story)
So my collagen is from them also - another trust issue. They manufacture a collagen that triggers the body to make its own. The lead product spokesman said they found that they found most collagens on the market were like "throwing spaghetti to a wall and hoping it sticks."
The best of my research is that fortibone is a marketing term for a developed collagen peptide - and I am trusting that my collagen peptide is doing its job. Same with verisol, which is formulated for skin, hair, etc - not bones.
I use the K2/D3 from this manufacturer as well.
I will watch better in case you have other questions. I am 79 and wish I my mother had had a DEXA. She had some hard falls in her 90s and never broke anything (one time breaking a train case!). I am a healthier cookie cooker version of her...so the DEXA motivated me to take better care than I was, but I'm also losing faith in its accuracy. I fell off a ladder in 2023 with a heavy box in my arms that I refused to let go of (antique inside) and did break my hip - but a clean cut that only needed pinning. If this DEXA is correct - my hip should have shattered. IMO
