Brief Summary

Osteopenia is characterized by bone mineral density (BMD) being lower than normal but not reaching the osteoporosis threshold, poses a serious problem for women after menopause. Osteopenia is a precursor to osteoporosis that is associated with increased risk of fractures, morbidity, and mortality. Using strategies to improve or maintain bone density is important for preventing osteoporosis and its associated complications. The combination of collagen peptide (CP) with calcium and vitamin D supplementation may provide several ways to improve bone health. This study aims to provide preliminary evidence of the effectiveness of traditional medicine in improving bone health through the effectiveness of CP.

Model Details: Group A comprised of 15 subject who were given daily sachet containing 5g of Bio active collagen peptides (Fortibone). Electrolyte mix containing 500 mg calcium as calcium lactate, 4 MCg calcitriol and selenised yeast rich in vitamin D3 (400IU) (Colabone®, Vivapharm SA). Group B (control) consisted of 15 subjects who consumed a sweet formed from a chewable tablet with 1. A calcium compound containing 25 g calcium carbonate (500mg elemental calcium) and vitamin D3 400IU taken daily, these are potent supplements that are often used in practice, as per the researchers' recommendations
