Bone Coach - How do you know it works?
I have seen several people here joined Bone Coach. How do you know your osteoperosis is better. The testimonials talk about general health improving which adherence to any healthy diet may have done the same.
There is no science shown. It's pricey but worth it if it works.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.
I found this article to be helpful about collagen. https://today.tamu.edu/2019/11/04/collagen-in-your-coffee-a-scientist-says-forget-it/
I’ve quit drinking mine in my coffee and dissolve it in room temp liquids…
Thank you sooo much for that information that further clrifies and explains that program !!
I don't know much about collagen and don't use it. I find it difficult to evaluate your comment (and its relationship to osteoporosis) when it's based on info that's behind a paywall.
Collagen helps joints and arthritis and protects knees. It is not a waste.
There are several clinical studies showing that collagen indeed affects bone health in a positive manner. Just google. I studied consumerlab.com and while some of their information is good, some of it seems to be ignorant of clinical studies done on the effectiveness of some supplements that they dismiss. Not sure they are really that expert on some issues. Glad they have capability to test supplements but some of their general conclusions appear to miss the mark.
I also subscribe to consumer lab, worth the subscription price, to me. Independent info on all kinds of supplements, products, nutrition. Several articles on osteoporosis. Thanks for confirming that your doc agrees it's legit.
Hello @lynnhaz:
I am looking at this program and since you posted almost 7 months ago I am curious to know if you are feeling/seeing results with respect to an improved dexa scan, labs, etc. I would appreciate your feedback after being on this program thus far. Looking forward to hearing whatever you feel comfortable sharing. Thank you.
I think if you are interested in Bone Coach or other program that it's best to contact them directly to evaluate if this works for you based on your own direct experience. Then it's free of pro/con opinion. I am considering it and I am making a decision based on my own experience after taking the initial steps they send over plus the interview to determine if it's a mutually good fit.
thank you - i am also investigating and have been impressed as well. they are there to provide a place where they can give information and service in a consolidated way with a team of professionals that are licensed. the interviews I've seen do not raise any flags for me.
I don't understand why anyone in this day and age would recommend tums as a calcium supplement. It is for heartburn. It weakens stomach acid - you need stomach acid to digest and break food down so i can be absorbed. So why take as a calcium supp if you don't have heartburn. It also has aluminum salts. I copied this right from the tums website:
Antacids are the fastest-acting heartburn relief available because they start to weaken the acid in your stomach the second they reach it. The weaker the acid in your stomach, the less likely it is to give you heartburn. The longer an antacid stays in the stomach, the longer it works; and having some food in your stomach may actually prolong an antacid’s effect.1
Most antacids contain at least one of these key ingredients: calcium carbonate, magnesium hydroxide, aluminum hydroxide and/or sodium bicarbonate. While all these ingredients work to neutralize your stomach's acid, it's important to know more about them so you can choose the one that's right for you.
