Fortibone for Osteoporosis

Posted by ninthsib @ninthsib, Mar 28 5:25pm

Have anyone tried collagen with Fortibone for their Osteoporosis? If so, did it help?

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

I use Native Path Fortibone collagen, it is helping with pain and strength.. NO Side effects, I am choosing to not use drugs, Prolio, Evenity, etc, due to side effects, drug sensitivity.

I am currently taking Key Collagen sold by Nutrikey. It has 5 mg of FORTIBONE and it also has three other types of collagen peptides by Gelita.

In a few days, I will run out of Key Collagen and I'm switching to a product with 5 mg of FORTIBONE only. This product is sold by Dr. R. Keith McCormick. It's called Osteo Collagen-Pep. I'm switching because it is less expensive than the product by Nutrikey and I'm not convinced collagen peptides are effective so I only want the FORTIBONE.
I don't know if it's working, yet. My next DEXA scan will be in a year. I've been taking FORTIBONE for six months. The two studies that I know of participants took it for a year.

I started taking Osteo Collagen-Pep (Fortibone) from Dr. McCormick's site back in late November, or early December. It's really good quality at a great price. Whether or not it's helping, I can't say because I've made so many changes (medication, diet, supplements, exercise and stress reduction) that any or all of them could be adding benefits.
I am doing something right. My first DEXA was in January of last year. I had my second DEXA two weeks ago, and it showed a 7.2% improvement in my spine. The hip is unchanged (not worse :))
I guess the only way to know if Fortibone specifically is making a difference is to only take that and do nothing else. I just take it because it MAY help, and it doesn't seem to be doing any harm. The way that I see it is that even if each thing I'm doing to better my bone metabolism works to a small degree, together it could add up to a significant improvement.

That’s a great result! Are you taking any osteoporosis meds at all?

Yes. I had one injection of Prolia in May 2023, then started Evenity in late January. The DEXA showing the improvement was exactly 7 weeks after my first set of Evenity injections, and and 3 weeks after the second.

Great news. I'll have to check it out.
Thanks for keeping us posted. So tired of all these drug side effects, and not effective.

Thanks for the responses. This week I started taking vital proteins professional Daily Foundational Support collagen with 5mg of Fortibone. It is expensive and I was wondering if anyone has had success with taking Fortibone. I will be starting Tymlos as soon as the insurance company and my doctor work out the money and prior authorization.

Yes, I am using his supplements. I think I’m using all but one. I don’t have them in front of me because I’m away from home, but I use the basic ones with Vitamin C,D,K,etc .
Also, the other capsule with stuff you’ve never heard of.
Because I’m a vegetarian, I use the whey powder and also the collagen. I guess the collagen means I’m not a vegetarian any longer. 😢
I chose his supplements because it’s all too complicated and I will trust
Dr. McCormick to sell a good product.

Do you have the amount of Fortibone correct? 5 mg seems very low when I have seen references to taking 5 g a day of collagen.
