What We Like

  • Flexible dosing: Can be chewed or swallowed
  • Value: Three tablets deliver 3 g for €0.48
  • Clean formula: No titanium dioxide or artificial dyes
  • Brand reputation: Life Extension publishes research and lab documentation

What We’re Missing

  • Mild sweetness: Contains natural flavors, which may not suit everyone
  • No sport certification: No third-party seal for strictly tested athletes

Usage Recommendation

Take 3 tablets 30 minutes before bed or around training. Combine with vitamin C for collagen support.
