HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Collagen Peptides Unflavored by Natural Force
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.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This powder has 2 active ingredients: sodium and bovine hide collagen peptides (the hydrolyzed form of collagen, a protein from beef hide). The collagen peptides are the main draw — they're broken down into small peptides so your body can absorb them more easily.
Sodium is present as well, which your body needs in trace amounts, but the amount here can add up if you're already getting sodium from food or other sources.
Does it work?
Leans against
The collagen peptides in this product are possibly effective for aging skin and dry skin, based on the evidence we hold. For muscle strength, the data suggests they're possibly ineffective.
We don't have enough reliable evidence to say whether they help with acne or athletic performance. The sodium in the product isn't intended as a therapeutic ingredient here — it's incidental.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Collagen peptides are generally well tolerated as a protein source; rare side effects include nausea, stomach upset, diarrhea, or gas. Sodium is fine in normal dietary amounts, but this product shouldn't be taken as a sodium supplement or in very high quantities without talking to your doctor first.
High sodium intake is linked to high blood pressure and heart strain. During pregnancy, we don't have enough data on collagen peptides to know if it's safe — check with your doctor.
During breastfeeding, there's little safety information, so caution is advised.
Meds to double-check
Moderate interaction found
Before you take this product, check with your pharmacist if you're on blood pressure medications (antihypertensives), lithium, corticosteroids like prednisone, didanosine (an HIV drug), tolvaptan, sodium phosphate, or any other sodium-containing medication. Altogether, these interactions span 205 individual medications.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with graded evidence leaning against its stated purpose. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.
This collagen powder could be worth considering if you're interested in supporting aging or dry skin. But if you take blood pressure medications, lithium, corticosteroids, or any other sodium-sensitive drug, you'll want to check with your pharmacist first — sodium interacts with a range of medications.
Talk to your pharmacist before starting, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have high blood pressure or kidney issues.

Formula
Protein 10g per serving
Grass-fed Collagen protein. Nothing else.
Rejuvenate your body with clean, functional protein. We believe that collagen powder is a missing link in many modern diets. Using it consistently can be one of the best ways to support joint health, lean muscle, and strong connective tissue. This is why we start with the collagen-rich hides of grass-fed cattle, a resource that would otherwise be discarded and turn them into an odorless, tasteless protein powder that you can add to just about anything.

Collagen Peptides Unflavored by Natural Force Drug Interactions
HelloPharmacist Interaction Report
Natural Force Collagen Peptides Unflavored contains sodium, which does interact with several medication types.
The most serious concern is with blood pressure medications (antihypertensives): high sodium intake can reduce how well they work, potentially making it harder to control your blood pressure. This is a Moderate-severity interaction.
Read the full breakdown — every affected drug type, severity by severity
Sodium also interacts with corticosteroids — drugs like prednisone — because they cause your body to hold onto sodium, and extra sodium from this product could raise sodium levels too high. The same Moderate-severity risk applies to lithium (used for bipolar disorder), where sodium changes can shift how much lithium stays in your bloodstream and affect its dosing.
Additionally, sodium poses Moderate interactions with didanosine (an HIV medication), sodium phosphate (a bowel prep), tolvaptan (a water-balance drug), and other sodium-containing medications — all relating to a possible buildup of sodium to unsafe levels.
The second ingredient, bovine hide collagen peptides, has no interactions documented in our data. Use the medication checker below to run your exact prescriptions against this product before you start.

Read the full Sodium + Betamethasone interactionEach ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects
For each ingredient in Collagen Peptides Unflavored with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.
Sodium
Antihypertensive Drugs
Theoretically, a high intake of dietary sodium might reduce the effectiveness of antihypertensive drugs.
High intake of dietary sodium can increase systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Also, high intake of sodium may necessitate increased use of antihypertensive medications to achieve blood pressure control in some patients, such as those with chronic kidney disease.
Corticosteroids
Concomitant use of mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Mineralocorticoids and some glucocorticoids (corticosteroids) cause sodium retention. This effect is dose-related and depends on mineralocorticoid potency. It is most common with hydrocortisone, cortisone, and fludrocortisone, followed by prednisone and prednisolone.
Didanosine (Videx)
Concomitant use of didanosine with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Didanosine formulations contain a significant amount of sodium.
Lithium
Altering dietary intake of sodium might alter the levels and clinical effects of lithium.
High sodium intake can reduce plasma concentrations of lithium by increasing lithium excretion. Reducing sodium intake can significantly increase plasma concentrations of lithium and cause lithium toxicity in patients being treated with lithium carbonate. Stabilizing sodium intake is shown to reduce the percentage of patients with lithium level fluctuations above 0.8 mEq/L. Patients taking lithium should avoid significant alterations in their dietary intake of sodium.
Sodium Phosphates
Theoretically, concomitant use of sodium phosphate with sodium supplements might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Use of high doses (> 45 mL in 24 hours) of sodium phosphate, such as those used for bowel cleansing before surgery, can lead to serious electrolyte disturbances, including hypernatremia. The risk of hypernatremia is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Sodium-Containing Drugs
Concomitant use of sodium-containing drugs with additional sodium from dietary or supplemental sources may increase the risk of hypernatremia and long-term sodium-related complications.
The Chronic Disease Risk Reduction (CDRR) intake level of 2.3 grams of sodium daily indicates the intake at which it is believed that chronic disease risk increases for the apparently healthy population. Some medications contain high quantities of sodium. When used in conjunction with sodium supplements or high-sodium diets, the CDRR may be exceeded. Additionally, concomitant use may increase the risk for hypernatremia; this risk is highest in the elderly and people with other risk factors for electrolyte disturbances.
Tolvaptan (Samsca)
Theoretically, concomitant use of tolvaptan with sodium might increase the risk of hypernatremia.
Tolvaptan is a vasopressin receptor 2 antagonist that is used to increase sodium levels in patients with hyponatremia. Patients taking tolvaptan should use caution with the use of sodium salts such as sodium chloride.
