Consumer advice
If your goal is skin health, this product has reasonable clinical backing at the stated dose. However, if you're buying for joints or hair, expect modest results at best — the evidence is much weaker. Consider whether capsules justify the premium over cheaper collagen powder or peptides. Take with vitamin C-rich food or the included vitamin C for better collagen synthesis. Results take 8+ weeks to appear; don't expect overnight changes.
