CheckedIs the label honest?

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 (from bovine) at 20 g per serving — the listing text and its photo-read panel agree; this is internal consistency, not independent testing.

CheckedIs the label honest?

Every ingredient shows its amount · 5 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.

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.
