At the risk of repeating, I posted this a while ago. It cites studies of the types of collagen needed to help bone growth, and the articles where I found the information.

As nearly as I can tell, Fortibone contains Type I collagen plus some other ingredients, which studies show is not enough for bone strength. You need to study the collagens of interest to you to determine what they contain.
Further, I will reiterate - check out your local pharmacy and some of the on-line vitamin sellers who offer multiple brands. Supplements are not regulated, but reputable companies will show they are evaluated by an independent certifier like NSF or USP. On-line single type of supplement sellers tend to be among the most expensive ways to buy these items.

Hi Sue, as always I look forward to reading your comments, as they are packed with good information. I've just finished reading this thread and I'm wondering if you could send a link or two to the studies which show that Type I collagen is not enough for bone strength. The articles you posted links to in your previous January comment (which are very interesting) discussed studies conducted on only hydrolized type I collagen. They both showed benefits. Which studies recommended Types I, II, III, V and X types of collagen? Thank you so much!
