Collagen
Summary
This collagen supplement contains vegetable magnesium stearate, a highly processed additive that can inhibit nutrient absorption and may contain impurities. While the product is exempt from processing level penalties typical for supplements, the presence of this additive and lack of transparency in ingredient sourcing affect its overall quality. The formulation could be improved by using fewer additives and ensuring higher ingredient purity.
