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.
The 120 mg hyaluronic acid claim matches the panel
We did the comparison: the listing claims 120 mg of hyaluronic acid, and the listing-image panel shows 120 mg hyaluronic acid 3 tbsp (about 21g). Those amounts agree. This is internal consistency, not independent lab testing.
| Panel row | Amount | %DV | What to notice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Calories | 70 | — | |
| Protein | 18 g | — | |
| Vitamin C | 90 mg | — | |
| Sodium | 110 mg | — | |
| Collagen peptides | 20 g | — | |
| Hyaluronic acid | 120 mg | — |
FDA rules (21 CFR 101.36) require the amount of each dietary ingredient per serving unless hidden in a declared “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.
vision:google/gemini-flash-1.5 Amounts are shown as declared panel data, not independently lab-tested contents.
Every check we ran
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.
Same barcode on the brand's own store
The brand's store lists this exact barcode as “Collagen Peptides Advanced - with Hyaluronic Acid & Vitamin C” (variant: 20oz with HA + Vitamin C) — identity confirmed across retailer listings.
No data yet: Review-count history: not available
Marketplace rating not shown★ — rating count unavailable. No exact-listing count history was available, so no review-pattern claim is made.
No physical impossibility in the listed amounts
Technical check only: the panel’s 3 actives sum to 20,210 mg, which fits inside the ≈21,000 mg serving. This means the numbers are physically possible — it does not mean the formula was validated or the contents confirmed.
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.
Photo-read pack math is internally consistent
27 servings × 21 g = 567 g, matching the printed net weight 560 g (NET WT 20 OZ (1.25 lb) 56). 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.
Barcode record is too sparse to confirm identity
Open Food Facts resolves 850008654497 to "Collagen Peptide" (brand not supplied), but that record lacks enough exact brand/product detail to confirm or contradict this listing.
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 “…oz Collagen Protein, Unflavored, 27 Servings SUPPORTS COLLAGEN PRODUCTION: With 100% daily value o…” | Partly supported We looked for: whether the ingredient doses on the label match the doses used in published research | Published research exists for ingredients in this formula — see Related research below. Whether this product’s doses match those studies could not be confirmed. |
“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 | shaded = doses used in studies (2.5 g–15 g) · bar = this label | 20 g — above 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.
