Sports Research Collagen Peptides is an unflavored hydrolyzed collagen powder delivering 11g of Type I & III collagen peptides per serving, plus a full spectrum of 18 amino acids (glycine, proline, hydroxyproline). Each scoop contains 10g protein and just 40 calories, with no added sugars or carbs.

Sourcing & Certifications: The product is Keto Certified, Certified Paleo Friendly, Non-GMO, and third-party tested for quality and potency. Free from artificial flavors, sweeteners, dairy, soy, and gluten.

Mixability: Designed to mix seamlessly into coffee, smoothies, or water without clumping or aftertaste—a key strength in the unflavored peptide category.

Who it's for: Women and men seeking skin elasticity, joint mobility, hair/nail strength, and post-workout recovery. The clean ingredient profile and lack of added actives (vitamin C, hyaluronic acid) position it as a pure, versatile collagen base suitable for stacking with other supplements.

Value: At ~$2.06/oz (or $1.85/oz on Subscribe & Save), it sits in the solid mid-to-good value range for a certified, third-party tested collagen powder.
