HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Collagen Peptides by NaturesPlus

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.
  • “Collagen Enzyme” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (30 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.
  • “Collagenase” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.
  • “Collagen Boosting Enzyme Blend” is a proprietary blend — the label doesn't break down how much of each component you get.

This powder contains 3 active ingredients: proteases (enzymes that break down proteins), serrapeptase (a fibrinolytic enzyme), and a collagen peptides blend made from grass-fed beef, fish, chicken, and eggshell membrane collagen. The collagen is hydrolyzed, meaning it's been broken down into smaller peptides your body can more easily absorb.

There are no inactive ingredients listed.

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: hair, skin, nails, joints, immune system health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Aging skin, Atopic dermatitis (eczema), Back pain, Brittle nails, Cellulite, Dermatoporosis — 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: Serrapeptase is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Back pain.

The collagen peptides in this product are rated possibly effective for aging skin and dry skin. For muscle strength, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

The data on serrapeptase for conditions like chronic bronchitis, asthma, back pain, and osteoporosis shows insufficient reliable evidence to rate its benefit. Proteases' effectiveness isn't established in our data.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Collagen Peptides

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 3 of the 3 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 3 of 3.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 3 of 3.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Collagen peptides are generally well tolerated as a dietary protein; rare side effects include nausea, indigestion, diarrhea, and bloating. Serrapeptase is generally tolerated short-term, though long-term safety isn't well studied; some people report stomach pain, gastrointestinal upset, or nausea at about the same rate as placebo, and very rarely bullous pemphigoid (a skin condition) has been reported.

Proteases may cause digestive upset or allergic reactions in some people. During pregnancy, serrapeptase and proteases are best avoided unless prescribed; collagen peptides are not well studied in pregnancy, so check with your doctor.

While breastfeeding, serrapeptase should be avoided, and both proteases and collagen peptides have little safety data—talk to your healthcare provider.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Collagen Peptides

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 3 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Serrapeptase.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: anticoagulant / antiplatelet drugs.
  • For scale: 122 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.

If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs—warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel, or similar medications—double-check this product with your pharmacist or doctor before you start. Serrapeptase may increase your risk of bruising and bleeding when combined with these drugs.

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 be worth considering if you're interested in collagen support for skin or general protein intake. If you take blood thinners or antiplatelet drugs, check with your pharmacist first—the serrapeptase could increase bleeding risk.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should talk to their doctor before starting it.

What does serrapeptase do?
Serrapeptase is an enzyme that breaks down fibrin (a protein involved in clot formation). We don't have enough reliable evidence to say it works for conditions like asthma, back pain, or bronchitis, though it's being studied for those uses.

Digestive symptoms—nausea, stomach discomfort, diarrhea, or bloating—are rare but possible. Some people report these same symptoms at about the same rate with placebo. Allergic reactions to proteases are uncommon.

Collagen peptides and serrapeptase are generally well tolerated short-term. Long-term safety for serrapeptase isn't well studied, so talk to your pharmacist or doctor about how long you plan to use it.
