Does the marketing hold up?
Ingredient amounts are hidden inside “Multi Collagen Complex”. The panel lists “Multi Collagen Complex” (9850 mg) as a combined amount. A blend total can’t tell you whether any single ingredient reaches a dose used in research.

“RADIANT & YOUTHFUL: Sports Research Multi Collagen provides the proteins & amino acids necessary to support healthy bones & nails as well as…”
Evidence →Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 10000 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (trials use 2.5–15 g/day of hydrolyzed peptides).
Ingredient research can support context, but it is not a trial of this exact product.
?Couldn’t verify independently2
“IN THE USA: Our products are made in cGMP compliant facilities in the United States, using only the best ingredients from domestic & international”
Evidence →“Made in USA” can describe only final bottling. Ingredient-sourcing records were not located for this product.
“Party”
Evidence →No named laboratory or lot-specific certificate was found for this exact product. No exact brand product page was available for a document check. 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.
We looked and found no public proof. That does not count against the product.

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 10 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Multi Collagen Complex at 9.85 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

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 9.85 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.
