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.

Fortibone may not bother any ones but after my experience I'll leave it alone.

At the risk of repeating, I posted this a while ago. It cites studies of the types of collagen needed to help bone growth, and the articles where I found the information.

As nearly as I can tell, Fortibone contains Type I collagen plus some other ingredients, which studies show is not enough for bone strength. You need to study the collagens of interest to you to determine what they contain.
Further, I will reiterate - check out your local pharmacy and some of the on-line vitamin sellers who offer multiple brands. Supplements are not regulated, but reputable companies will show they are evaluated by an independent certifier like NSF or USP. On-line single type of supplement sellers tend to be among the most expensive ways to buy these items.

Hi Sue, as always I look forward to reading your comments, as they are packed with good information. I've just finished reading this thread and I'm wondering if you could send a link or two to the studies which show that Type I collagen is not enough for bone strength. The articles you posted links to in your previous January comment (which are very interesting) discussed studies conducted on only hydrolized type I collagen. They both showed benefits. Which studies recommended Types I, II, III, V and X types of collagen? Thank you so much!

Greetings friends,
Newly diagnosed with osteoporosis.
Anyone try collagen peptides from Healthy Bones Co., founder, Kevin Ellis.
This collagen has 1) 3 bioactive collagen -fortibone, fortified and verisol.
Anyone try another collagen peptides product from Native Path which is said to be similar.
Please respond if you have tried either product.
Thank you,

There is a thread on collagen on this site. Have you found it? Click on support groups above then osteoporosis . I believe it is there.
Would like to hear some specifics. Your age, dexa scores. Are you working with an endocrinologist, what has your provider recommended?
