How to read this report
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.

Mass check · assumptions shown
4.1 g listed contents = 0.1 g major actives + 4 g carbohydrate
Assume 4 pectin gummies × 2.5–3.5 g each = 10–14 g serving. That leaves roughly 0–2 g for water, pectin, sweetener, acid, and flavor. Serving weight is not printed, so this is a warning, not a closed impossibility.
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
What checked out2
These checks found support in the public record. They confirm specific facts, not the product as a whole.
Confirmed
The review count moved gradually, not in one burst
Written reviews rose from 123 to 265 between September 15, 2025 and August 29, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 18, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.
Documented concerns
What needs caution2
These are documented contradictions or claims that need more evidence. They are separate from missing data.
The label says 4.1 g of collagen in 4 gummies — but not what tho
A serving is 4 gummies, and the panel lists 4,100 mg — 4.1 g — of collagen in that serving. What the panel doesn’t give is the one number needed to check it: what a serving weighs. Gummies of this type usually run somewhere around 2.5 to 3.5 grams each, which would put 4 of them near 10 to 14 grams. If that holds here, collagen would be a high share of the serving’s weight, and that is why we stopped on this number. But we did not weigh these gummies. The 2.5–3.5 gram figure is a general estimate for the format, not a measurement of this product. One published number would settle it: the weight of one gummy, or of a 4-gummy serving. Until then we can’t confirm the 4.1 g and we can’t dispute it. Nothing here says the product is short — only that the label doesn’t let anyone check. Checked September 3, 2026.
Dose is lower than studies used
label claims 100 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (trials use 2.5–15 g/day of hydrolyzed peptides). A lower dose is not necessarily useless — but it is not the amount the research used. Sources: PubMed search: collagen peptide supplementation trial, WebMD search: collagen.
Unresolved public record
What is still missing9
We looked for these signals but could not settle them from public sources. A gap is not a strike.
Listing claim matches the label panel
The listing claims 100 mg; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Collagen at 100 mg per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Cost to reach a studied dose
At 25.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (2500–15000 mg), this product runs roughly $118 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Research context is available for the listed ingredients
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.
Public label filing not saved
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.
No recall found — which is not the same as being tested
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.
This item belongs to a catalog variation family
The paid catalog links this exact item to a parent listing. Review counts on public product pages may be shared across sizes, flavors, or other variants, so the count history is listing context — not evidence that reviewers received or tested this exact variant.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 121 on 2025-09-08 to 265 on 2026-08-29 (net +144). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
Brand ownership record not saved
This record does not hold an exact, supplement-class public ownership record for the brand. That is a LookCloser coverage gap, not evidence that the brand has no owner or that the product is improper.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
What to ask and check
What would settle the open questions
Why is this shown?
Everything we couldn’t verify is something a person can still ask about. Rather than leave gaps sitting as dead ends, we turn each one into a specific question — the exact document, citation, or number that would settle it — plus the things you can confirm yourself with the bottle in your hand.
Ask the brand or seller
1
Answered by the panel: 0.1 g of the 0.1 g headline is collagen. 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.
2
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.
3
Why is the collagen peptides amount below the dose used in published research?
There can be good answers — a more bioavailable form, a different intended use. Ask for the reasoning and any data behind it.
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
1
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.
2
Scan the barcode on the package and confirm it reads 074312016318.
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.
3
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
Why is this shown?
A listing’s promises are the reason people buy. Each one gets its own row: what was promised, what evidence would settle it, and what we could actually find. We never call a claim false — only whether proof proportionate to it exists on the public record.
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…Helps Support Beautiful Hair, Glowing Skin, and Healthy Nails*…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 100 mg/serving — below the range commonly used in research (trials use 2.5–15 g/day of hydrolyzed peptides). |
“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
Why is this shown?
An ingredient can be well-studied at one amount and barely studied at the amount in your bottle. This lines the label up against the doses researchers actually used. It answers ‘are these the same numbers?’ — never ‘should you take this?’
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Collagen | shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label | 100 mg — 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.
