COLLAGEN PEPTIDES Plus FRENCH VANILLA CREAM
1UP NUTRITION
Overview
This collagen supplement provides a research-backed dose of Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Peptides and an effective dose of Vitamin C and Vitamin D3. These ingredients are well-supported for their roles in skin health, joint support, bone health, and overall well-being. However, the majority of the other ingredients, including Hyaluronic Acid and a wide array of amino acids, are present in amounts far too low to provide any significant benefit based on scientific literature, which diminishes the overall comprehensive value of the blend. While the core collagen and key vitamins are effective, the additions are largely ineffective due to underdosing.
The Good
Provides an efficacious dose of Hydrolyzed Multi Collagen Peptides (15g), well-backed by research for skin hydration, elasticity, and joint health.
Contains a beneficial dose of Vitamin C (225mg), which is crucial for collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant.
Offers an optimal dose of Vitamin D3 (100mcg/4000IU), supporting bone health and overall immunity.
The Bad
Hyaluronic Acid, L-Glycine, L-Proline, L-Glutamic Acid, L-Alanine, L-Arginine, L-Aspartic Acid, L-Lysine, L-Serine, L-Valine, L-Threonine, L-Phenylalanine, L-Isoleucine, L-Histidine, L-Methionine, L-Tyrosine, L-Cystine, Copper, Zinc, and Sodium are included in doses far below the efficacious range mentioned in the scientific literature.
L-Tyrosine inclusion is below efficacious dose and is only beneficial during stressful conditions.
The product contains artificial sweeteners (Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium) and artificial flavors.
