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.
Evidence and sources
Brand-level context only, not a finding about this product. Vital Proteins recalled a different or not-exactly-bound product on 2023-04-21: “potential foreign material contamination (pieces of one blue broken lid may be in one or more canisters)” (status: Terminated). The recalle…

Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The label promise and the Supplement Facts amount agree.
Evidence and sources
The listing claims 20 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Collagen peptides at 20 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Locked evidence record →Open the full source-linked findingChecks outIs the label honest?
Every ingredient shows its amount · 6 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.

The barcode identity checks out · 810089956026.
The barcode matches, so we are checking the right product rather than a look-alike.
Evidence and sources
Open Food Facts resolves 810089956026 to "Collagen Peptides" (Vital Proteins) — consistent with this listing.

Evidence and sources
At 1.0 serving(s) a day to reach the low end of the studied range (2500–15000 mg), this product runs roughly $34 per month. A price observation, not a recommendation.

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 20 g of collagen peptides per serving. Studies we found used 2.5 g–15 g a day, so this sits above 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.
