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.
Every check we ran
Label math is physically consistent
Claimed collagen 12,000.0 mg is 100% of the ≈12,000 mg serving (serving size printed on the packaging (photo-read from listing images)) — within physical limits.
Collagen Peptides dose matches published studies
label claims 12000 mg/serving — within the range commonly used in research (trials use 2.5–15 g/day of hydrolyzed peptides). Sources: PubMed search: collagen peptide supplementation trial, WebMD search: collagen.
Intake method matches the research
Nothing in this listing contradicts how these ingredients were studied (collagen peptides). For example, collagen peptides: daily oral use over 8+ weeks in studies. Sources: PubMed search: collagen peptide supplementation trial, WebMD search: collagen.
Each ingredient’s amount is disclosed
The panel gives a per-ingredient amount rather than hiding quantities inside a proprietary blend, so each one can be compared to published research.
Exact trademark owner identified
USPTO lists Vital Proteins LLC (['LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY', 'SOCIÉTÉ ANONYME (SA)']) in ['DELAWARE, USA', 'SWITZERLAND'] for the exact brand wordmark. This identifies the USPTO mark owner or applicant; it does not by itself prove who manufactures or sells this product.
Listing claim matches the Supplement Facts panel
The listing claims 12 g; the photo-read Supplement Facts panel shows Collagen peptides (from cod) at 12 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
18 servings × 12 g = 216 g, matching the printed net weight 221 g (NET WT 7.8 OZ (221g)). This checks agreement within the photo read; it is not an independent contents test.
Not found in NIH's DSLD label registry
The NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database has no matching label yet. Ingestion lags the market — recorded as a gap, not a strike.
FDA recall appears in this brand's history
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 recalled product was: “Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, retail 24oz plastic canister, UPC 8 57273 00866 6; 6 retail units per wholesale case” — not necessarily the product on this page. Verify at FDA’s recall database.
UPC valid, no independent record
Check digit passes; no third-party database record found yet. Coverage gaps are common — not a strike.
180-day review-count history is on file
Exact-listing history records written-review counts from 1,095 on 2026-01-23 to 1,258 on 2026-07-20 (net +163). Count movements can reflect sales, listing variants, collection resets, or moderation; this history does not establish whether reviews are authentic.
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.
What the listing promises — claim by claim
Why is this shown?
| Claim | Status | What we found |
|---|---|---|
| Benefit claim “…the body quickly for maximum benefits. Helps improve the health of your hair, skin, nails, joints…” | 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 12000 mg/serving — within 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?
| Ingredient | Where this label sits | Reading |
|---|---|---|
| Collagen peptides (from cod) | shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label | 12 g — within 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.
Verifiability profile — 4 of 6 public signals
What this listing gives the public to check. Publishing these signals doesn't prove quality — but withholding them means claims can only be taken on faith.
