Collagen Peptides Unflavored

$86.00
Description

Meet your new morning ritual! Sports Research® Collagen Peptides is hydrolyzed so it combines into your favorite beverage and is more readily absorbed. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the human body, but did you know our bodies produce less and less as we age? This results in everything from wrinkles to joint issues and so much more. Having enough collagen ensures optimal function of everything from hair, skin and nails to joint health. With 11 grams of Type I & III collagen peptides per scoop and 18 amino acids— Sports Research® Hydrolyzed Collagen Peptides is the perfect workout recovery support so you can enjoy your Sport of Life longer and look your best doing it.*

Suggested Use

Adults combine 1 scoop of micronized creatine powder into water or your favorite beverage once daily and mix thoroughly, or as recommended by a qualified healthcare professional. For fast results, studies show a loading period for the first 5 days accelerates the process of saturating muscle cells with creatine monohydrate.*

Why we chose it

Hydrolyzed. Single ingredient. That's it.

Native collagen molecules are too large for efficient intestinal absorption. Hydrolysis enzymatically cleaves them into low-molecular-weight peptides—2,000 to 5,000 daltons—that the gut can transport intact and circulate through the bloodstream. Sports Research uses pasture-raised bovine hide as the source. No fillers, no flavorings, no sweeteners.
Daneault et al. (2017) reviewed the literature on oral collagen peptide bioavailability and reported intact peptides detectable in plasma within 1–2 hours of ingestion. See research →
Per scoop

11 grams of Type I and III collagen.

The two collagen types most abundant in skin, hair, nails, bones, and tendons. One scoop, dissolved into anything—coffee, smoothie, water.
The clinical reference

Shaw et al., 2017.

A landmark trial showing that collagen peptides ingested with vitamin C, one hour before exercise, doubled collagen synthesis markers in connective tissue compared with placebo.
The research

After age 25, collagen declines about 1% per year.

Endogenous production slows steadily across adulthood, with measurable effects on skin elasticity, joint cushioning, and connective tissue repair. Multiple randomized trials have documented improvements in skin hydration and dermal collagen density following 8–12 weeks of daily supplementation at 2.5–10 g.
Choi et al. (2019), Nutrients, conducted a systematic review of 11 studies (n=805) on oral collagen supplementation and reported significant improvements in skin hydration, elasticity, and wrinkle depth. See research →
The composition

18 amino acids, three that do the work.

Collagen's distinctive amino acid profile is what differentiates it from whey, casein, or plant proteins. These three account for roughly half of the molecule.
22%
Glycine
The smallest amino acid. Tightly packed in collagen's triple-helix structure. Precursor to glutathione synthesis.
12%
Proline
Provides the rigidity that holds collagen fibrils together. Essential for connective tissue integrity.
10%
Hydroxyproline
A modified amino acid found almost exclusively in collagen. Stabilizes the triple-helix at body temperature.

Three ways to use it.

01
In hot coffee.
Stir one scoop directly into your morning cup. Dissolves cleanly in hot liquid. No taste, no clumping.
02
In a smoothie.
Blend with fruit, greens, and your protein of choice. Adds 10 g of complementary protein per serving.
03
With vitamin C.
Taking it alongside vitamin C—a citrus fruit, a glass of orange juice—supports the body's own collagen synthesis pathway.
