Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides Vanilla Flavor
Living Silica
Overview
This product combines collagen peptides with other ingredients like vitamin C, hyaluronic acid, and biotin, which have shown benefits for skin health. However, the proprietary blend 'Living Silica' makes it difficult to determine the exact dosage and effectiveness of these components. Bovine collagen peptide dosing is adequate and the addition of vitamin C may further aid collagen synthesis. Overall, it is moderately effective for supporting skin and joint health.
The Good
Contains bovine collagen peptides at a clinically relevant dose for skin and joint health.
Vitamin C supports collagen synthesis and acts as an antioxidant.
Hyaluronic acid contributes to skin hydration and joint lubrication.
The Bad
Proprietary blend obscures the actual dosage of Living Silica's active ingredients.
Limited evidence to back up claims related to Living Silica blend.
Potential inaccurate results on multiple categories of medical lab tests due to biotin supplementation.
