Why this scored 73/100
Vital Proteins is the market-leader collagen brand — grass-fed bovine hydrolyzed peptides in the studied form + dose range (10-20g/day). Real evidence base for skin elasticity + joint comfort. Nestlé-owned since 2020 with continued brand-quality investment. Held below Elite by (1) some SKUs use added flavorings vs the plain unflavored option; (2) sustainability profile — grass-fed sourcing is a plus but broader sustainability certifications thin; (3) no third-party COA per SKU. Would move to Elite 85+ with published sustainability certification + per-SKU third-party COA.
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
0–19: No credible evidence base or unverifiable claims.
