I have been taking Fortibone, along with these products: OsetoStim and osteo MineralWhey for about the past year and my recent bone scan showed a 10% improvement in BMD in my lower spine and hip. The products are available through the website of Keith McCormack, DC and he does consults
You mentioned in another comment (can't find it now) that you've also been using cell salts. I had to look up what that was and am surprised I hadn't heard of it before, because it sounds promising. Thank you for sharing.
I'm curious if anyone else in this group has used cell salts.
I don't know if anyone noticed or even cares, but the effect of Fortibone was compared in studies to that of a placebo. There is no data supporting it being better than similar collagen peptides. It mught be better, the same, or even worse. MARKETING.

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.
Have you had side effects from the Evenity? I have drug sensitivity really bad and am concerned to take it. That is why I was reading about the Fortibone collagen. My Dexa was-4.4 I need to do something because my neck and back get so painful.

Hi @gma14fun, I haven't had any side effects that have been very bothersome. The worst part is the injection site pain and swelling, but that lasts less than 24 hours.
Before the injections, I drink loads of water and take 2 Tylenol. I feel like that helps.
Experiences vary. There's a discussion here on Connect where we've been sharing our Evenity side effects at all stages of treatment. I've found it very helpful. In case you haven't already found it, here's the link: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/evenity-7/

Are you working with The Bone Coach (Kevin)? If so, what are your thoughts? I am finally considering it. I know very little about it (him) except that it is extremely expensive. Thank you for any information you might have.

My naturopath has used cell salts (Bioplasma) for bone healing with excellent results. I have just started using them for fractured bones.

Have any one that has taken Evenity has any side effects? I have a severe drug interaction problem and have been concerned about taking it.
I'm wondering if anyone has purchased their collagen from The Bone Coach? His collagen has both Verisol and Fortobone?
It has 13 grams of collagen peptides. (The Bone Coach)
very true. and the research was conducted by the manufacturer.
