Which one? This is exciting, as I thought his book was very helpful. I wasn’t aware of any products endorsed or produced by him?

I am taking OsteoNaturals, OsteoCollagen Pep which contains Fortibone. As mentioned previously, 5g of Fortibone taken daily has been shown to increase BMD, compared to a placebo in a trial.
Here is the link to Dr McCormick’s supplements:

Thank you! I will check these links and check with my new doctor-Endrocrinologist & also with the new clinic I’m going to-functional medicine to get their input.

I hope this can help!

Here is the link to the trials done on collagen that shows taking 5 grams daily of Fortibone collagen peptides increases BMD:

If you print this trial information and show it to your doctors they can see the science behind the claims. I will find out in a year if this works. Good luck to you!!

I tried now to order OsteoCollage Pep, and asked them if they deliver to Europe. Strangely, after my question, I got a message that the webpage does not exists.

I take AlgaeCal collagen which has the recommended amount of Fortibone. I buy from Amazon so maybe you can try that brand. It has 79% five-star ratings.

Well that’s not good. I just tried purchasing the same product and it appears I can do so. That’s odd. I wonder if they can’t or do y ship internationally?

I was most interested in this as Dr McCormick recommends it. He is definitely an expert

Well, I have found the UK enterprise, which have a product Bonebalance that is actually Fortibone.
I thought that being in Europe, it will be easier and cheaper to order it. But again I failed to order because they do not deliver to Spain. Only the US, Canada, Australia, etc.
Trying to make some agreement with them, but not sure if I succeed.
