Collagen Plus Passion Berry Flavored offers bovine collagen with a berry-extract blend and other added ingredients. The collagen preparation and blend proportions are unclear, making its extra ingredients harder to assess when choosing a supplement.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality17

The collagen is identified as bovine, but its precise preparation is unclear. Missing forms for several other ingredients and undisclosed blend proportions also limit a closer quality comparison.

Ingredient Transparency63

Ingredient and blend totals are stated. Several forms and the proportions within the berry-extract blend are missing, leaving important details unclear.

Value For Money53

The collagen offers reasonably favorable value for its amount, while betaine offers more moderate value. Niacin contributes weaker value, and several other ingredients cannot be compared reliably.

Customer Satisfaction83

Customer ratings are very favorable. A substantial review pool provides a broader picture of buyer satisfaction, without establishing health benefits.

Product Focus37

Collagen is joined by a berry blend and several other active ingredients. There is not enough information to establish how much those additions help with a specific goal.
