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.

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.

USPTO identifies the public owner or applicant behind this brand wordmark. This does not by itself identify the product manufacturer or prove where the product was made. Open USPTO source ↗
We could not match an amount on this product to a studied range for the same ingredient, so these links are ingredient background rather than a measurement of this product.
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 15 g of collagen peptides per serving. Studies we found used 2.5 g–15 g a day, so this sits inside that range.
Study ranges differ between trials and change as research changes. This is background reading, not a pass, a failure, or a recommendation.
