Collagen for osteoporosis?

The brand I buy is Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides Powder with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, Unflavored. I get it at our local Costco store where it's a little cheaper than Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K6JUG4K

Which collegan is best for severe osteoporosis?

When vegan, there are things you can eat to boost your body’s ability to naturally produce more collagen like foods high in nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, and copper to boost the production.
The foods that can help with this include:
Beans
Oranges
Red and green peppers
Tomatoes
Broccoli
Whole grains like rice, corn, and wheat
Nuts
The recommendation is you get five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables to meet your body’s needs
They are trying to engineer yeast and bacteria to make a vegan supplement, but none yet. Be wary of supplements that claim it.

Yes..which? I have tried multiple brands which claim unflavored..only to have my coffee taste like beef coffee or fish coffee or combo of both. I used some in soup, which was ok, but the aftertaste was cloying and would not die! If you try pills, you have to take soooo many to make a serving and some are ridiculously huge. Sign…no easy task!!

John, can you tell me which brand of collagen you use? Does it have any flavor at all? Also, do you if it is helpful to people with sarcopenia? I am losing muscle like crazy and can use all the help I can get. Have read a bit about collagen and there are so many complaints that the powders don't stir well into liquids, it would be nice to get a recommendation of one that does!

I'm not sure the collagen helps with sarcopenia but it does seem to help with fingernails, skin and hair according to my wife. I've noticed my fingernails are less brittle since taking it. I buy the Vital Proteins brand - posted a link earlier in the discussion here - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/comment/773954/

I think what can help sarcopenia is exercise.
"What is the treatment for sarcopenia?
The primary treatment for sarcopenia is exercise, specifically resistance training or strength training. These activities increase muscle strength and endurance using weights or resistance bands. Resistance training can help your neuromuscular system, hormones."

Quick question about collagen in your coffee- the scoops are quite large and when I try putting it in my coffee, it doesn’t dissolve and ends up a clump floating on top. How are you putting it in your coffee?

Yes..all true this! Plus the exercise will help osteoporosis etc. There is no magic to a lot of problems..sometimes it just goes back to basics:eat well from LOTS of non processed foods and exercise. Lots of different exercises too..not just walking. You need weight bearing now more than ever! I got a weighted vest for my walks (build weight SLOWLY to avoid injury) and even for my exercise like squats etc. plus a set of bands snd hand weights helps. The collagen will help with joints a bit.. but the exercises will really do the trick.

Morning....hope your day is starting out good for you. I'm sorry you are suffering with your medical conditions. Sometimes knowing we're not alone in our struggles is helpful..hope this works for you as well.
I've tried a few collagen powders..and found that CODEAGE unflavored 20oz. 63 servings to be the best I've tried.....it has 5 of the different types and it dissolves completely in my coffee...I've been taking this brand for many months now. My nails and hair and skin is better...and my 'trigger' finger no longer gets stuck! My osteoporosis has improved..a lot!! So, with the collagen and all the bone building supplements, I've managed to turn around my scores. I don't work out as much as I would like too..but now, at 78..I'm happy with what I can do. I usually get a lot of mid-back pain in the afternoons..I sit with hot packs..very helpful as well as the infrared belt I wear for it's session. I don't like taking any pain medications..but I do take a few tokes of indica marijuana in the day and maybe a toke in the middle of the night if I can't sleep. I also just tried a CBD tincture..which amazed me with how well it took my pain away..but it's costly..so I only use it when I'm in extreme pain. I found the Codeage from "Vitacost" to be more affordable (63 days of scoops in the container) than any of the others out there..as well as all 5 of the types of collagen...I use Vitacost for all of my supplements..good quality and prices. Hope this helps you. Go have a great day!!!

Thank you for the good information. I’m not familiar with the infrared belt but will remember that for down the road. I’m on calcium, vit D, magnesium and now collagen. I don’t want to go on Fosamax at this time because of an unrelated condition and would love to turn my numbers around without. What other supplements do you take?
