Collagen supplements

6 Replies

I have been religiously taking K2 mk7 supplements for the past year or so and have been taking collagen peptides for the past 6 months. I have not been diagnosed as of yet but I know that I am a good candidate as It runs in my family and I am thin and small boned.

Be aware that in the US Vit D is measured in Ng/ml but in the UK it's nmol/litre. There are 2.5 nmol/litre to 1 Ng/ml, so your 50 is 125 nmol/litre.
