Collagen for Osteoporosis? Facts and Fraud

Thank you for the explanation. I plan to take collagen. Even if the increases are negligible, they add up over time. It's better to move in the direction of improvement rather than deterioration.

I always enjoy listening to your analysis. Thank you!

All of your videos, are excellent... this one is no different! Thank you!!

Thanks for this video. I saw that study and wondered what your take was on it.

Thank you so much for relating to Collagen and in such a valuable, informative way (as in fact, all your videos are :). Appreciate it!

Super! Thanks a lot.

New to your channel, so i have some catching up to do! Recently started Actonel, was opposed to adding more medications, also have Barrett's esophagus. Will be watching your master class this weekend . Thank you.

Excellent analysis. Helped me understand the role of collagen and how the body uses it. I started taking the bovine type thinking it would help improve bone density but now see that I can tweak my animal protein intake for the same benefits. I did find that my hair and nails improved noticeably so I will continue to take it just as another protein source rather than thinking that collagen specifically is making any difference. I now see why you advocate such a strong protein intake (which I struggle to achieve, but I’m getting there). Thank you for this straightforward presentation.

Great info. I take collagen peptide with my breakfast smoothie from Dr Josh Axe brand for about 5 years now and counting. It helps with the pain in my knees. Before that, i would be on and off on glucosamine. As to stronger nails and better hair, nope, didn't see that. I agree with you, a good and nutritious diet is very important.

I listened again. The study was for 12 months and a 4% improvement in spine and 6% improvement in hip. Every 2 years I have a Dexascan. In that period of time the last one I decreased by 3% in the spine. So that is what my Dr. is looking at. I'd be happy with a 4% increase. Very happy.

Thanks for the collagen info. Glad I never bothered with it. I do take biotin for hair skin & nails. Any thoughts on Natto for the K2. I buy it at an Asian grocery shop and eat a tablespoon with sardines daily. I can’t tolerate K2 supplements. I take Calcium Citrate & D3, Magnesium, Ester C, & a bariatric Multivitamin. I’m also on a low dose of Estrogen cream for menopause. I also exercise more at 57 than I did at 47. Planks, push-ups, yoga, dancing with stomping, walking… No jumping, due to a big toe joint issue. I’m on a carnivore diet for years. It’s helped me immensely.

I had been thinking about taking collagen for my osteoporosis, but now I'm thinking it's not totally worth the additional expense, etc., at least for now. Thank you for helping me make a decision in regard to collagen.

I have tried several collagens that always give me headaches. This video makes me feel a little less bummed about it. That’s for another informative video👍

I live in France and I am a BC patient using AI and CDK4/6 inhibitor (for stage IIIC). I take Fortibone for 2 years now. My MD prescribes biphosphonate too. I have bamboo supplement and regularly do bonds in my stairs. My last bone density test showed an incredible improvement from 3.2 to 2.7 in my hip. I'm 58 old and I grew from 164 cm at the begining of the treatment to 166cm. I'm very happy with my results.

I'm so glad I found you, loads of great info for someone just diagnosed with -2.4 osteopenia. Can you comment on PEMF mats, the studies on pemf and osteoporosis please? Thank you.

Thanks I just signed up for July 18th

I have had help with joint stiffness & collagen. What about turmeric supplements?? I so appreciate all your help!

Hello. Thank you for your work. I am a male, age 41, working from home eversince covid and also with a pretty sedentary lifestyle. Had Dexa a week ago and got an osteporosis score on my lowerback and ostepenia score for hip. Been trying to learn as much as I can about the subject since then. My sugestion is this: is it possible to do a video that would be a kind of intro to your materials for people just discovering they have osteoporosis or just discovering your channel, and maybe directing people to specific resources on your channel? Thank you

Any small improvement in BMD seems worthwhile

Great videos, thanks for tackling the subject of bone health! I'd love for you to explain what different Dexa #s mean. For example, I play pickleball 4x a wk, and my last Dexa showed bone growth in my spine, but loss in my hips. How could that be and what does this mean?
