What this is. We compare what a listing claims against what public records show — label arithmetic, barcode registries, NIH’s label catalog, FDA enforcement data, certification registries, and published research. Every statement below traces to one of those.
What the states mean. Confirmed = an outside source agrees. Contradicted = an outside source disagrees. Caution = something needs explaining. No data = we looked and found nothing — a gap, not a strike.
What it is not. A clean record is not an endorsement and never proof a product works. A thin record is not an accusation. We publish evidence and gaps; the conclusion is yours. Nothing here is medical advice.
Something wrong? Every figure is meant to be checkable — sources are named and linked. Send a correction and we’ll fix the record.
We did the comparison: the front label uses 1.6 g, but the named ingredient vitamin c (as calcium ascorbate) is 90 mg on the panel. The remainder is the other listed actives.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) | 90 mg | — | |
| Sodium | 10 mg | — | |
| Multi Collagen Complex Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, eggshell membrane, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, chicken bone broth concentrate | 1600 mg | — | |
| Hyaluronic Acid (as sodium hyaluronate) | 60 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a listed “proprietary blend” (legal, but a transparency yellow flag). A label stating no amount at all is non-compliant — a checkable red flag. This panel states amounts; any remaining comparison concerns the front-label framing.

Every check we ran
Confirmed evidence
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Claimed vitamin c 1,600.0 mg is 53% of the ≈3,000 mg serving (serving size on the label, keyed to UPC 023249012726) — within physical limits.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
USPTO lists Sports Research Corporation (CORPORATION) in CALIFORNIA, USA for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Open Food Facts resolves 023249012726 to "Multi Collagen" (Sport Research) — consistent with this listing.
Documented concerns
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The listing uses 1.6 g for vitamin c. The panel lists vitamin c at 0.09 g; the other 1,510 mg is the rest of the listed blend. Panel addition: Multi Collagen Complex Hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, eggshell membrane, hydrolyzed fish collagen peptides, chicken bone broth concentrate 1600 mg = 1,600 mg. This documents the framing; it does not establish what is inside the product.
We could not find an explanation for the difference — no blend, extract ratio, compound form or multi-capsule serving accounts for it. You are getting 90 mg of vitamin c per serving. Worth asking the brand which number describes the capsule you swallow.
Unresolved public record
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
The listing says 1.6 g, while our photo read produced Vitamin C (as calcium ascorbate) at 90 mg per serving. OCR can confuse small units and digits, so this remains unresolved until checked against the physical label.
The observed listing claims third-party testing without naming a lab or certifier. No product-bound report is saved, so the claim cannot be verified as stated. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record.
At 1.6 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (2500–15000 mg), this product runs roughly $39 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Published sources describe how collagen peptides have been studied. This is ingredient context only; the record does not establish that this product delivers the studied dose or outcome. Sources: PubMed search: collagen peptide supplementation trial, WebMD search: collagen.
We have not found a public label filing for this exact product. That is a gap in our records, not evidence that no filing exists.
This means only that no enforcement record matched the brand name — it does not mean the product was tested, reviewed, or cleared by FDA. New and untested products also have no recall records.
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,509 on 2025-07-24 to 1,592 on 2026-07-11 (net +83). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
What to ask and check
Ask the brand or seller
Answered by the panel: 0.09 g of the 1.6 g headline is vitamin c. Which independent lab can confirm that amount in this product?
The panel resolves the front-label arithmetic. The remaining question is lot-specific contents and stability; published category testing gives context, not a test of this product.
Can you send the certificate of analysis (COA) for the lot number on my bottle?
A real COA names the testing laboratory, the test date, the lot it covers, and what was measured. “Third-party tested” with no document behind it is a marketing sentence.
Is this label filed with NIH’s Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD)?
Filing is voluntary, so absence proves nothing — but a filed label puts the full ingredient table on public record where anyone can read it.
Where are the ingredients sourced, and where is the product manufactured?
“Made in USA” can describe only the final bottling step. Ask which country the actives came from and whether the facility is audited.
Most brands and sellers publish a contact route. A clear answer adds evidence to the record; no answer leaves the question open.
Check for yourself — no one’s permission needed
Compare the panel on the bottle in your hand to the one shown in this record.
Ours was read from listing photos and can contain reading errors. The physical label is the source of truth — if they disagree, tell us and we’ll correct the record.
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 023249012726.
A mismatch between the barcode on the box and the one on the listing is worth pausing over — it can indicate a different variant, a repack, or a counterfeit.
Check the lot number and expiry on the bottle against any COA you’re given.
A certificate that doesn’t name your lot doesn’t describe what you’re holding.
These are the open questions on this specific record — not a warning about the product, and not a suggestion to buy or avoid it. Getting them answered is how you decide for yourself.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Quality-testing claim “…Sports Research Multi Collagen capsules for women and men are non-GMO-verified, gluten-free, third-party tested for quality, and manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compli” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: the observed listing, saved brand product page, any linked COA or test report; NSF, IFOS, USP, Informed-Sport were not queried | No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. A related brand page names no testing issuer and links no product-bound report; its UPC is not published. NSF, IFOS, USP, and Informed-Sport were not checked in this record. This is a public-evidence limit, not a finding that testing did not occur. |
| Origin claim “…Sports Research Multi Collagen capsules for women and men are non-GMO-verified, gluten-free, third-party tested for quality, and manufactured in the USA in a cGMP-compli” | Claimed, not verifiable We looked for: customs records or label filings showing where ingredients were sourced and where it was made | “Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product. |
| Benefit claim “…ALL-IN-ONE COLLAGEN SUPPLEMENT: Sports Research Multi Collagen Complex contains 5 types of collagen peptides with hyaluronic acid, amino acids, and vitamin C to support ” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“No evidence located” does not mean a claim is false — it means the seller has not put evidence proportionate to the claim on the public record, and we could not find any. Absence of proof is not proof of absence.
This label vs. the doses studied
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Multi Collagen Complex Hydrolyzed bovine col | shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label | 1.6 g — below the studied range |
Matching a studied dose does not mean the product works, and missing it does not mean it fails — it shows whether the label and the research are talking about the same amounts. Not a recommendation to take any amount.
