HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Collagen Glow Unflavored by New Chapter

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Beauty Collagen Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label gives one combined amount (12,010 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

Collagen Glow Unflavored contains 3 active ingredients: bovine collagen peptides (hydrolyzed), chicken collagen, and sea buckthorn. The product has no inactive ingredients listed.

Bovine collagen peptides are a broken-down form of collagen protein that your body can absorb more easily — they're the main structural protein in skin and connective tissue. Sea buckthorn is a plant berry extract added for its antioxidant properties.

Does it work?

Moderate evidence
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Moderate

Some clinical evidence supports this product's ingredients for its stated purpose, but it isn't conclusive.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Building blocks for hair, skin, nails, and joints.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Brittle nails, Dry skin, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Joint pain — and 4 related terms.
  • The strongest evidence on file: Collagen Peptides is rated "Possibly Effective" for Aging skin (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Collagen Peptides is rated "Possibly Effective" for Dry skin.
  • Also on file: Sea Buckthorn is rated "Possibly Ineffective" for Atopic dermatitis (eczema).

Bovine collagen peptides are possibly effective for aging skin and dry skin, based on available evidence. The data is too thin to say whether it helps with acne or athletic performance.

For muscle strength, the evidence points toward it being possibly ineffective. Sea buckthorn shows possibly effective evidence for burns, but possibly ineffective for eczema.

Its role in anti-aging skin care and cholesterol doesn't have enough reliable evidence to rate.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Collagen Peptides Sea Buckthorn

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Bovine collagen peptides are generally well tolerated as a dietary protein. A small number of users have reported nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or bloating, but these are rare.

Sea buckthorn is generally well tolerated as food, but supplement doses haven't been thoroughly studied — high doses may cause yellow staining of skin. At very high intakes over months, one case of generalized yellow skin has been reported.

Topically, sea buckthorn oil can cause dryness, redness, and rash; in one study, rash occurred in 4% of patients. Not enough safety data exists for bovine collagen peptides in pregnancy or breastfeeding, so check with your doctor before using if you're pregnant or nursing.

The same caution applies to sea buckthorn during breastfeeding, and supplement use during pregnancy hasn't been well studied.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Collagen Peptides Sea Buckthorn

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Sea Buckthorn.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 289 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this product, double-check if you're on blood thinners (anticoagulants or antiplatelets) or blood pressure medications — sea buckthorn interacts with both, rated Moderate severity. The bovine collagen peptides in this product have no documented interactions with medications.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product may support aging and dry skin if the evidence holds up for you. But if you take blood thinners or blood pressure medications, you'll need to talk with your pharmacist or doctor first — sea buckthorn could interfere.

How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Collagen Glow Unflavored contains 4 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What does collagen peptides actually do in the body?
Collagen peptides are broken-down collagen protein that your body can absorb and use as building blocks for skin, joints, and connective tissue. Research suggests they're possibly effective for aging skin and dry skin, though the evidence is still emerging.
Can I take this if I'm pregnant or breastfeeding?
The bovine collagen and sea buckthorn in this product haven't been well studied in pregnancy or during breastfeeding. There isn't enough data to know either way, so talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice before using.
What side effects might I notice?
Collagen peptides rarely cause nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, or bloating. Sea buckthorn at very high doses can stain your skin yellow. Topically it may cause dryness or rash, but supplement side effects at normal doses are uncommon.
Does this help with acne?
The evidence for collagen peptides on acne isn't established enough in the data we hold to say one way or the other.
I'm on a blood thinner — is this product safe for me?
No — sea buckthorn in this product may increase bleeding risk when combined with blood thinners. Talk to your pharmacist or doctor before taking it.
Will this boost my muscle strength?
The research suggests collagen peptides are possibly ineffective for muscle strength, so it's not the best choice if that's your goal.
