Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 11 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Hydrolyzed Bovine Collagen Peptides at 11 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

Every ingredient shows its amount · 22 ingredients listed.
Every ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
Evidence and sources
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.

Background reading
What the research says about these amounts
Not a score. Studies disagree with each other and change over time, so this sits beside the evidence rather than counting toward it — it is here so you can read the sources yourself.
The panel lists 11 g of collagen peptides per serving. Studies we found used 2.5 g–15 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
0studied 2.5 g–15 g
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
