Collagen for osteoporosis?

Medicare supplements do not pay for prescription drug coverage. However, you can purchase a standalone PDP (Medicare Part D) on the Medicare.gov. website independently. Insurers and states don't like offering them without a Medicare Advantage Plan (Medicare Part C.) If you prefer to keep your original Medicare, and not enroll into a Medicare Advantage plan, because you want to keep your option of healthcare outside of your community, this could be a resource.

The Medicare website offers a tool where pharmacies can actually bid for your dollars, and you need to have been on the drug at least two years before it will be offered as coverage. Finally, if you did not enroll in Medicare Part D when you enrolled in Medicare, you could be charged a penalty up to 10% per year you were not enrolled. I personally have my PDP payments deducted directly from my SSA monthly benefit as a convenience.

There are other programs as well, that may assist you with costs for your treatment. Talk to your local Council on Aging in your community.

Would love to get some info on the best collagen products or sources. Thanks

I am 82 and diagnosed with osteoporosis (negative 3.8 in spine); Evenity was prescribed and approved by my insurance but I have asked for a six month delay in starting it. I have resolved to do exercise/resistance training Bone Builders classes,. My GP recommended the classes and they are offered here at many senior locations. I am going to try your recommended Collagen peptides also. Thank you for sharing your experiences

Before you purchase a large quantity, you may want to try a small amount. I took only a partial recommended amount and had to stop due to intestinal upset.

Good Morning~
I'm proud of you for doing all you can do on your own to build your strength and better bone density. Getting involved in our own health issues, that feel right for us is most important to do as well as listening and learning from professionals as well.
I have been using Codeage collagen for months now...I've noticed better nails, for sure as well as having fuller hair..as I've always had very thin hair. I'm 79 and seeing improvements in my health
picture that I feel. I haven't had another DEXA since I started taking collagen..so it's been over a year since my last test. Seeing almost immediate changes in my nail quality and hair growth as well as better skin.. faded 'old' spots on my hands and face have kept me using this product daily. The product you mentioned that you're thinking of taking does look good and scores well on independent surveys. There seem to be a lot of choices these days. I went for one that I could afford and that had as many 'types' as possible with excellent ingredients as well. Live Conscious
looks like a good one. The codeage has 62 servings...I get it from Vitacost when it goes on sale..so it comes to about 36.00 for a 2-month supply. I applaud your desires to do more for yourself. I'm going to do that as well, as working out at home isn't the same as being educated and guided towards the right kinds of exercises to strengthen our bodies. I wish you the best!

I’m just beginning to take collagen peptides. I’m not comfortable with the usual drugs, so I’ll try this supplement. Lots of info on the internet.

I have Medicare with Part D . I had to pay $1500 for the first month. $ 1000 for the second. After that $ 233 for the rest of the year. I’m planning to have to start over in December.

I’ve started taking collagen peptides too. I hope it helps.

Which collagen peptides are you taking.

Where can Fortibone be purchased? I need to try something.
