NativePath Bone Health Collagen Peptides, Type 1 & 3, with Fortibone and Verisol, 7.9 Ounce, 30 Servings

I found out I had osteoporosis a year and a half ago and started taking this about a year ago. My latest DEXA scan has showed improvement, which made me very happy! Read about the ingredients on the Gelita website. Very impressive, and a well-known gynecologist who I love and trust also endorses these ingredients. It’s a little pricey, but worth it. I have a scoop every morning in my coffee and cannot taste or detect anything. And as an added bonus, my hair, nails and skin look great.

Best collagen peptides for strong nails!!!! Dissolves easily. I’ve tried other brands and this is showing measurable nail strength, i have osteoporosis so hoping it translates to stronger bones too.

Impossible to know for certain, in the short term at least, whether its effective, but the science says those type collagen peptides are the ones you want. The container is filled by weight, leaving room for the scoop. I would probably prefer a shorter handled scoop, because you would have to insert it handle down into the powder when the container is still mostly full. I leave it out once I've touched the handle

Some of the reviews are concerning in that they dont know what they are buying or why, exactly, and then rate negatively for it. Take note of the reviews mentioning their bones as this is what this product is really geared for. Just looking for a more basic collagen product? probably want to look elsewhere. Might seem like a lower amount than some collagen products (7.5 grams combined versus some that are 11-20 grams per serving), but this is clinically proven and these amounts are considered the "sweet spot" for effectiveness. Unlike many collagen peptide products out there, this product uses FORTIBONE and VERISOL, two specialized peptide products that are registered products from GELITA(please look them up; loaded with info). Science backed, clinically proven. There arent EXTRA ingredients that arent listed., it is just a different, better form of the collogen peptide. So why are you choosing a product with Verisol AND fortibone? Just looking for skin and hair health? Go with something that just uses Verisol. Have BONE matrix concerns? then use something with Fortibone, like this. Dont need any help with bone mass density? Then skip this and find something else (that will likely be way less expensive). Take note that the ever-popular Vital Proteins uses VERISOL. But that focuses on skin, hair, nails (beauty focuses). Got tendon/ligament issues? look for Fortiforte. Joint situation? Fortigel. Various companies use Fortibone, Verisol, Fortigel, Tendoforte, etc.. all just peptides, but bioactive for enhanced absorption and targeted..therapy of the sort. SO NO, not all collagen products are the same. But no matter what, be sure it says collagen peptides (ie hydrolyzed collagen) as that means it is broken down into an easily digestible form. I have to say it: CONTAINERS ARE FILLED BASED ON WEIGHT NOT VOLUME. Stop saying that you are being scammed if you have a half full container (or less). Dump it out and weigh it. That is all that matters. Be sure to be mindful of how much you are filling your scoop. If even a hair over the scoop level then you may be shorting your overall amount of servings. Also, take note that it says "about 1 scoop". Want to know for sure? weigh out 7.5 grams. There is your serving. Mine has 30 servings if I am measuring correctly. I add mine to coffee or hot cocoa. I dont taste anything. Nothing at all, but your tastebuds may be more sensitive. Mixes fine. I use a handheld battery operated frother (a must have for anyone who mixes powders into liquid. Simple, cheap, takes up nearly no space, works wonders). Why do I use it? Because I am on cusp of 50, and I want to shore up my bone density. I have NOT had any scans or whatever, but since I already use collagen for general health and beauty, I figured I would go for a more targeted collagen product. I had learned of Gelita, and that is when I learned that they dont have products but their science backed product is used in various brands, hence "proprietary". The more forms used in a product the more expensive it is. I was interested in maintaining the verisol, and adding in a bone supporting collagen peptide. I will not be able to comment on how effective it is as bone density relies on scans which I have not gotten and wont for some time. But everyone is subject to bone loss, so I figure it can not hurt to address it now. As for Verisol form? oh yes, very good. I have wonderful skin, nails, hair. No digestive issues or other issues. Will update if need be. I'm going with a solid 4 stars. I have purchased a few times now and have been taking it pretty consistently. I am curious about other brands. I had originally tried a fortibone & vit C product, but I was also taking a separate collagen product to get the verisol. If only really wanting fortibone, then might be a good fortibone only product to try. If wanting a few forms then AlgaeCal is pretty serious , again take note that more forms = more $$ Taken fromGelita: FORTIBONE® is developed to promote bone health, increasing bone density and reducing degradation processes.The specific peptides of FORTIBONE® stimulate bone cells to increase the synthesis of bone components such as collagen. They have a kind of ‘signaling effect’ onOsteoblasts to counterbalance the collagen degradation in the extracellular bone matrix, which is the essential framework for bone mineralization. In addition FORTIBONE® influences degenerative processes in bones by reducing osteoclast activity. The result is a considerably higher synthesis of collagenous bone matrix A single-center, prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded study showed the potential of FORTIBONE®. Over a period of 12 months, 180 women with reduced bone mass participated in a therapy with daily intake of 5 g FORTIBONE® or placebo. Changes in bone mass density were measured in the spine and femoral neck of the participants detected by DXA scans. FORTIBONE® consumption showed a significant improvement of bone density. The results showed a pronounced increase in BMD (Bone Mineral Density) after FORTIBONE® supplementation in women suffering from osteopenia or osteoporosis. The results indicate an anabolic effect. FORTIBONE® is an interesting option to counteract bone degeneration.

Powder dissolves quickly in coffee or hot tea without any aftertaste.

I've used several types of collagen. Always have negative side effects from them. Not this one. I'm using this for knee and feet pain; it works great. Only slight negative is that it lasts me 24 days not 30 like the servings suggest.

Works great take it everyday on 4 rd jar

Very expensive, i'm not sure how it works yet or not. I haven't had a bone density test, since I started it. It does not mix well.You have to really keep stirring to get it not to have lumps
