Episode Description from the Publisher

In this video, Dr. Doug Lucas reviews whether collagen can actually support bone health, looking at the limited human research, why Fortibone has the strongest data, and why results may depend on a person’s starting bone turnover markers. He also explains why collagen sourcing and third-party testing matter, since contaminants can accumulate in collagen products.Study Linkshttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29337906/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32131366/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37755240/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19892499/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30783776/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37883634/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25314004/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34980546/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33562729/https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11842160/🦴 Stronger Bones.
