Checked against public sources on August 6, 2026 · LookCloser does not sell or recommend supplements.
Does the marketing hold up?
FDA recall appears in this brand's history. An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
“Couldn’t verify” means we looked and found no public proof — not a mark against the product. Most supplement claims cannot be independently verified by anyone, so grey is the normal state of this industry.

We read 8 lines from the package photograph. It is our transcript of the label, not the manufacturer’s panel, and it may be incomplete.
The public sources did not settle the marketing promises on this label.
Ingredient evidence exists; on dose: label claims 20000 mg/serving — above 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.
Headlines first. Open evidence only when you want the source trail.
An exact-product recall is a direct signal. A different product from the same firm is company context, not a strike against this item.
This recall is not about the product on this page. Vital Proteins recalled a different product on April 21, 2023. FDA has since closed that case. The recalled item was “Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, retail 24oz plastic canister, UPC 8 57273 00866 6; 6 retail units per…”
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingEvery ingredient shows its real amount — nothing is hidden in a proprietary blend.
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingThe barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Open Food Facts resolves 810089955913 to "Vital Proteins Skin Complex" (Vital Proteins) — consistent with this listing.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingComparing cost at a research-relevant amount shows how quickly the package is used and what the routine actually costs.
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (2500–15000 mg), this product runs roughly $52 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingA count that moves steadily is ordinary. A sudden burst is what deserves a closer look.
Written reviews rose from 64 to 100 between July 22, 2025 and August 6, 2026. The largest rise inside any single 30-day window was about 7, so the count moved in steps rather than in one burst.

The label amount is shown beside the range used in the linked ingredient studies.
18 g per serving — above the 2.5–15 g/day used in the linked studies.
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 18 g of collagen peptides per serving. Studies we found used 2.5 g–15 g a day, so this sits above that range.
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
