Collagen for osteoporosis?

Posted by cpb @cpb, Jul 26, 2021

My friend's medical doctor has her take collagen for her bones. I decided to try it and wondered if anyone knows more than I do about this.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

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

I get Fortibone collagen (and other items) from Osteonaturals, https://www.osteonaturals.com/shop-osteonaturlas. Unfortunately, the large container is currently out of stock; it's a significantly better value than the small container.

@lbroomayo1

I have my own homeopathic & MD ordered regimine myself. I take vitamins K & B-12, because I am a regular laxative and fiber user. Frequent laxatives use can deplete vitamins K & B-12 synthesized in the large intestine and cause anemia or heart problems. I take vitamins, D3, A, calcium 1200 mg per day, all ordered by my team of physicians. Vitamin E for skin, hair, and nails, vitamins iron and muti-vitamins with iron. I also have hormone therapy estrogen & progesterone for bone and muscle health. Recall that estrogen is the primary component in bone matrix for women. I request by physician an order for a full blood panel and include an Ionized Calcium (check for signs of bone cancer & CA + 125 to check for signs of ovarian cancer, since I take estrogen as a 65 year old woman. I take diclofenac for joint swelling and pain when I need it. I have never smoked, used illegal drugs, no family history of female reproductive or breast cancer or heart disease. However, I am taking a risk, but so do smokers. I'd rather still be walking. I'm an insurance agent and I have really good insurance to support Medicare, so my out of pocket expenses are minimal. However, I'm always looking for new remedies to slow aging and enjoy life. Best, Lynn.

Lynn- I realize you posted this awhile ago. I had to reply back and suggest you try magnesium glycinate in place of the laxatives you are using. I used it through cancer and hip replacement and it kept things moving. I continue to take it daily.

Hi,
Just a suggestion. I use Ancient Nutrition Multi Collagen Protein. It gives you 20 g more than the other’s suggestion. It also gives you protein. Take a look at it.

Good Morning, Gravity3~
Hope this helps. I chose Codeage, unflavored..with all 5 types and with good ingredients. I get my supplements from Vitacost and wait until I see this product on sale. The 63-serving container lasts me for 2 months. I'm very satisfied with this product. I can see changes in my hair thickness, and nails that grow like talons..so fast...and my age spots are also fading. I see that I touted this product when I was 76...now..coming up to 79 in a week...so I've been taking this product for that whole time. Another member wrote about Life Conscious, which gets a very high rating as well. If you google these..you will find independent ratings for collagen products. I'm on a limited budget, so I have to go for the best for the least amount of money. Hope this helps you all. Go make it a great day for yourselves!

My local co-op has four different brands: Ancient Nutrition (fish collagen), Garden of Life (grass fed collagen peptides bovine; Vital Protein, bovine grassved and pasture raised; Primal Kitchen, vanilla coconut flavored collagen peptides, kito certified, sugar free; and the local market's brand, Pure Collagen Peptides non GMO pasture fed

Do you have experience with any of these?
thank you for your shared experiences.

Morning Lashu~
Thank you for your quex.
I chose Codeage, (unflavored) for what it contains and its price. I just ordered another one through Vitacost as they're now offering a 15% discount on it. It lasts me 2 months with its 63 servings. Vital Protein didn't have all 5 varieties of collagen..and was pricey to pay for the TV ads, I would suspect. As long as the animal collagen used is grass-fed..and other ingredients are as pure as we can find...and it fits into your budget. They all now seem to be the peptide kind and hydrolyzed...which makes them more body-friendly and able to work better for you. I'm really seeing the benefits of sticking with the Codeage product...and no...I'm not affiliated with the company or any other one. Seeing the dark spots on the back of my hands, as well as on my face fading and going away totally on my hands..AS well as experiencing rapid nail growth, eyebrow hair as well as pubic hair, and my head hair being stronger and thicker than ever have convinced me to keep taking this product every day. It disappears in my coffee..tasteless...and gee..a real miracle for us aging ladies as far as I'm concerned.
Hope this helps you as well! Enjoy your day!

Kallettla- can you describe the results you have experienced? I did look at the website for the product you recommend. I like that he is a Doctor and a scientist.
