A viewer asks: “How would you rate California Gold Nutrition’s CollagenUP®, Hydrolyzed Marine Collagen Peptides with Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C, Unflavored, in terms of quality and effectiveness for the claims made by the maker? How does this compare to the Advanced Collagen Plus, Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides? If you were to rank the leader in effectiveness and quality out of 100, where 100 is best, can you rank all 3?”

We do not want to become so precisely quantitative because the relative merits will vary, not only in terms of their potential compared to one another but their appropriateness for one individual recipient compared to another, as that introduces another set of variables to make it difficult to be to cut and dried in assigning preference. So as a general rule of thumb, we see the Advanced Collagen Plus edging out the Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides, and the California Gold Nutrition's CollagenUP a close third in rank.
