I agree, Dr McCormick is extremely knowledgeable. I own both his books and am considering a consult with him. I have the utmost respect for him. On the subject of collagen, I think there are a lot of unanswered questions about what specific types are helpful. I actually contacted McCormick with questions about the product he sells and he said "great questions" but conceded that he wasn't sure which type of collage was best for bones, marine or bovine or if the bovine source in the product he sells is completely sourced from grass fed cows. I've contacted Gelita with those questions as I can't find that info on their website. More independent studies are definitely needed. I do take collagen with the hopes that it is helpful. I just don't know if there is anything particularly special about Fortibone.

have not heard of Dr McCormick - but always wonder about those who recommend products that they also sell - and seems like he doesn't know enough about the collagen used in the products he sells. The chemical constituents of collagen are broken down in the digestive process. This suggests 2 things to me - that you could just as easily obtain those chemicals through the food you eat (assuming a healthy, nutritional diet here) and you need to make sure that you are fully digesting - and therefore getting the nutritional benefits of - the food you do eat.

Thank you for your response. I am happy there are those on this site that are looking deeply into a variety of aspects of osteoporosis and share that information . It’s soo appreciated and is helpful in our choosing of things to do or not do, and other things that aren’t completely settled , but so we can make our choices based on the best information as it relates to our own situation.
Thanks again!!!
