The Other Ingredients Line Is Empty
Most collagen tubs list a sweetener, a flavor system and an anti-caking agent under the panel. Ours lists nothing, because there is nothing else in it. You can check that in three seconds.
One ingredient. Twenty grams of it. Nothing else in the tub.
Grass-Fed Collagen Peptides
One ingredient. Grass-fed bovine collagen peptides. No sweetener, no flavoring, no filler, no anti-caking agent. The other ingredients line on our panel is empty, which is not something most collagen tubs can print.
20 g of collagen per scoop, giving 18 g of protein and 70 calories.
Unflavored, so it disappears into coffee, oatmeal or a smoothie rather than turning them into a dessert.
28 scoops per 20 oz tub. Four weeks rather than a calendar month, and we would rather print the real number.
† * One scoop is approximately 20 g. A 20 oz (567 g) tub holds about 28 scoops. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.

Whats Inside
Grass-fed bovine collagen peptides. That is the entire list.
One scoop is about 20 g and delivers 20 g of collagen, which works out to 18 g of protein, 70 calories and 130 mg of sodium.
There is no sweetener, no flavoring, no anti-caking agent and no filler. The Other Ingredients line on our panel is empty. Turn over most collagen tubs and it is not.
How To Use
One scoop, once a day. Stir it into coffee, tea, water, a smoothie or a bowl of oatmeal. It dissolves hot or cold. The scoop in the tub is for convenience rather than exact measuring, so a slightly heaped or slightly short scoop is nothing to worry about. 20 oz (567 g) per tub, which is 28 scoops.
Pure & Gentle Ingredients
One ingredient, and here is the small print that goes with it.
It is bovine. The collagen comes from grass-fed cattle, so this is not vegetarian and not vegan. If you want a marine or plant source, this is not the one.
It may contain trace amounts of naturally occurring sulfite residue. That is on our panel and worth knowing if you are sulfite sensitive.
Keto friendly and kosher, both printed on the tub.
For adults only. If you are pregnant, nursing, taking medication or managing a condition, ask your doctor first.
One ingredient. Twenty grams of it.
Grass-fed bovine collagen peptides, unflavored, with nothing else in the tub.
20 g In A Single Scoop
A full twenty grams of collagen, giving 18 g of protein and 70 calories. One scoop, not two.
Grass-Fed Bovine
The collagen comes from grass-fed cattle. Worth saying plainly: that also means it is not vegetarian and not vegan.
It Tastes Of Almost Nothing
Unflavored, so it goes into your coffee without turning it into a dessert. Almost nothing is not nothing, and we say more about that below.
Keto Friendly And Kosher
Both are printed on the tub rather than implied by the packaging.
28 Scoops, Not 30
A 20 oz tub is 28 daily scoops. We would rather print the real number than round it up to a month.
The Honest Part
What collagen research does and does not show
There is no clinical study on this product. We have not run one, and we are not going to point you at somebody else's and imply it was ours.
On collagen peptides generally, the picture is more modest than the category suggests. There is published research on skin elasticity and joint comfort, the effects reported are small, many of the trials are small themselves, and a good number are funded by companies that sell collagen. That does not make the research worthless. It does mean the confident before and after story you see elsewhere is running well ahead of what has actually been measured.
It is also worth knowing what happens when you drink it. Collagen is a protein. Your digestion breaks it into amino acids and smaller peptides, and your body decides what to do with them. It does not travel to your face intact.
What we will stand behind is what is in the tub: twenty grams of grass-fed collagen, eighteen grams of protein, and nothing else. If it does more than that for you, good. We are not going to promise it in advance.
What To Expect
Week 1 To 2
Nothing to see yet
You are establishing a habit, not watching a result. The only thing worth judging this early is whether it actually dissolves in your coffee and whether you will keep doing it.
Around Week 8
The earliest anything might show
Skin and nails turn over slowly. If something changes, this is roughly when people report noticing it. Take a photo in the same light on day one so you have something to compare against rather than a memory.
Month 3
Decide
Three months is a fair trial for anything in this category. If you are getting nothing beyond twenty grams of protein you enjoy drinking, that may be reason enough to keep it, or reason to stop. Both are fine answers.

Questions
The things people ask first.
How much do I take?
One scoop, once a day, in whatever you are already drinking. Coffee, tea, water, a smoothie, oatmeal. It dissolves hot or cold.
Does it really taste of nothing?
Close to nothing, not nothing. Unflavored collagen has a faint smell that some people pick up in hot water and almost nobody notices in coffee or a smoothie. If you are sensitive to that sort of thing, start with half a scoop in something that has a flavor of its own.
How long does a tub last?
Twenty-eight scoops, so four weeks rather than a calendar month. Refills arrive every thirty days, so you will be a couple of days short each cycle. You can bring a delivery forward or add a tub from your account whenever you like.
Is it vegan?
No. It is bovine collagen from grass-fed cattle. There is no such thing as vegan collagen, only vegan products that aim to support your own production of it, which is a different thing entirely.
Will it help my hair, skin, nails or joints?
That is what most people buy collagen for, and the honest answer is that the research is real but modest, and none of it was done on this product. We are not going to make you a promise we cannot back.
Is 20 g a lot?
It is a full serving by category standards, and it is one scoop rather than two. Some tubs reach a big number on the front of the pack by counting two or three scoops as a serving, so it is worth checking the serving size before comparing.
Can I cook or bake with it?
Yes. It holds up in hot liquid and in baking. It will not gel like gelatin, because it is hydrolyzed.
What if I do not get on with it?
Thirty day return policy. For taste or texture that is plenty of time. For anything else collagen might do, thirty days will tell you nothing, and we would rather say so than pretend the window is a results guarantee.
Thirty day returns, and what they are actually good for.
If it does not mix the way you want, or you simply do not like it in your coffee, send it back within thirty days. Where we will be straight with you is the other kind of return. Thirty days is not long enough to judge whether collagen is doing anything for your skin or your joints. Nothing in this category is. If that is what you are testing, give it three months and judge it properly.
