Evidence

Evidence assessment

The product supplies 10 g of named FORTIGEL® per serve, directly matching a dose used in published ingredient research. Evidence is ingredient-specific rather than proof of every product claim; no public exact-batch certificate was verified.

Joint evidence context

FORTIGEL® has ingredient-specific joint studies; this evidence does not verify every finished-product claim or make it Type II collagen.

Why this score: A single-ingredient 10 g FORTIGEL® serve aligns directly with the product's joint focus and delivers good effective-dose value. Raw-material origin, final manufacture and exact-batch testing are not fully disclosed, so branded-ingredient evidence is not treated as finished-product verification.

TENDOFORTE® research focuses on tendon and ligament outcomes; its relevance to joints is indirect, and it is not Type II evidence.

Why this score: The named 5 g TENDOFORTE® ingredient, vitamin C and sport-testing disclosure create a strong use-specific formula. Higher cost and incomplete raw-material and manufacturing disclosure limit the result.

The four scored categories are rescaled from 90 to 100 points; the User rating category is excluded.

Why this score: A relevant 5 g TENDOFORTE® dose plus vitamin C and stated every-batch sport testing support the score. The animal source, origin and manufacture are not clearly disclosed, and user-rating data is unavailable.

Evidence assessment

Hydrolysed collagen research commonly uses gram-level daily quantities. This product is assessed only against other hydrolysed powders—not against UC-II® capsules.

Joint evidence context

Some studies examine gram-dose hydrolysed collagen for joint outcomes, but evidence for this generic formula is limited and indirect.

Why this score: A high-dose, single-ingredient powder is inexpensive per 10 g, but no named, joint-studied peptide or product-specific joint research supports that as an evidence-relevant dose. Its Evidence & testing score is 4/15 and value is capped at 12/25, so low cost alone cannot outrank studied ingredients.

Record confidence

Low: Brand-stated collagen dose and pack arithmetic need label verification. Raw-material origin is incomplete. Testing documentation has not been verified.

Concentration

25 g powder serve; 90% collagen ingredient listed

Evidence

Limited or indirect evidence

Evidence assessment

Cost uses the conservative stated 20 g BODYBALANCE® per serve. The 90% ingredient listing implies 22.5 g in 25 g powder; label figures differ. BODYBALANCE® muscle research is not direct evidence of knee-pain relief.

Joint evidence context

BODYBALANCE® research concerns muscle outcomes, not joints; it is included for comparison with that evidence limitation made clear.

Why this score: Provisional assessment: Brand-stated collagen dose and pack arithmetic need label verification. Value contributes 0/25 until its dose, price or currency assessment is resolved; this is withheld credit, not a finding of poor value. Ingredient quality is capped at 24/30 because the collagen amount remains unverified. Other editorial category assessments remain in place; the score does not resolve the outstanding information.
