COLLAGEN PEPTIDES Plus+ Chocolate Caramel *Limited Edition*
1UP NUTRITION
Overview
This collagen supplement provides a substantial dose of hydrolyzed multi-collagen peptides, which is well-supported by research for skin elasticity, hair, nails, and joint health. The inclusion of Vitamin C and Vitamin D is beneficial at their provided dosages. However, the 'Plus Complex' contains numerous amino acids and Vitamin E at levels that are likely too low to provide significant therapeutic effects. The proprietary nature of the 'Plus Complex' also prevents a complete evaluation of its ingredients.
The Good
Provides a clinically effective dose of 12g of Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Peptides, supporting stated benefits for skin, hair, nails, and joints.
Includes both Hydrolyzed Grass-Fed Bovine Collagen Peptides and Hydrolyzed Wild-Caught Marine Collagen Peptides, offering a diverse amino acid profile.
Contains a beneficial dose of Vitamin C to support natural collagen synthesis and provide antioxidant protection.
The Bad
Vitamin E (DL-alpha tocopheryl acetate) is less bioavailable than natural sources and is underdosed for significant effects.
L-Alanine, L-Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Glutamic Acid, L-Glycine, L-Hydroxylysine, L-Hydroxyproline, L-Isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-Lysine, L-Methionine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Proline, L-Threonine, L-Tyrosine, and L-Valine are significantly underdosed, making their inclusion primarily for amino acid profile completeness rather than specific therapeutic effects.
The 'Plus Complex' is a proprietary blend, preventing full disclosure of individual ingredient amounts within this complex.
