Genotype Impact What it means
GG (Normal) Normal Standard collagen type I - typical bone strength. Ensure calcium, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and weight-bearing exercise.
GT (Carrier) Low impact Intermediate collagen I composition - modestly higher fracture sensitivity. Prioritise calcium, vitamin D/K2, protein and resistance training.
TT (Variant) Moderate Altered collagen I linked to higher osteoporosis and stress-fracture risk. Emphasise weight-bearing/resistance training, calcium, vitamin D and K2, and adequate protein.
