Analysis

Eighteen grams of protein and vitamin C provide the main structural and cofactor support for endogenous collagen production. Hyaluronic acid, wheat-derived phytoceramides, white tea, and amla add hydration or antioxidant concepts.

Only 100 mg each of glycine and proline are separately disclosed, so their standalone contributions are modest. A proprietary enzyme blend prevents complete assessment, while many specialty additions are present in moderate or small amounts.

Chocolate powder may suit users wanting a plant-protein drink with skin-oriented extras. The twelve-serving supply and high daily cost make it a poor choice for isolated glycine or proline value.

Who is it for
  • Adults wanting plant protein with skin-support extras
  • Users seeking a flavored collagen-builder alternative
Best for
  • Protein-supported collagen synthesis
  • Combining protein with vitamin C and ceramides

Pros

  • Substantial plant protein
  • Useful vitamin C amount
  • Includes hyaluronic acid and phytoceramides

Cons

  • Glycine and proline are only 100 mg each
  • Proprietary enzyme blend
  • Very short and costly supply

Warnings

  • Wheat-derived phytoceramides are unsuitable for people with a relevant wheat allergy.
  • Vitamin K2 can conflict with warfarin and other vitamin K antagonists.
  • The proprietary enzyme blend prevents complete allergy and interaction screening.

Nutrient quality

73 High impact

Protein and vitamin C provide the clearest structural contribution, with several relevant supporting actives. Modest target amino-acid amounts and opaque blends reduce formulation precision.

Ingredient transparency

55 Moderate impact

Most listed actives have specific amounts, but proprietary blends obscure some internal doses. The serving count is clear, but intake directions and non-active ingredients are not supplied.

Customer satisfaction

59 Moderate impact

Customer sentiment is favorable, and the small review volume limits confidence. No review excerpts are supplied, so repeated complaints and purpose fit cannot be verified.

Value for money

46 Lower impact

Broad protein and skin-support coverage provides some formula-level value. High serving cost, modest target amino acids, and hidden blend composition weaken competitiveness.

Report overview
Proline · 100 mg OverallScore67
A Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

L-proline identity and amount are clearly disclosed within a broader collagen-building protein blend. The amount is modest, and the flavored powder is much less focused than a pure proline product. Very high cost per target amount produces poor proline-specific value.

Glycine · 100 mg OverallScore52
F Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityC+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyB- Value

The glycine amount is clear, but no premium grade, branded source, or purity certification is provided. Its 100 mg contribution is modest alone but works as part of the collagen-support protein formula. Other well-chosen actives improve formula-level value despite weak glycine-only economics.

L-Proline 2000 mg

Nutricost
<p>Ingredient coverage is more purposeful for its stated use. A substantial L-proline amount provides focused amino-acid supplementation in a simple format. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, it provides greater dose depth or broader supporting ingredients, although the intended use may differ.</p>

L-Proline 500 mg

Swanson Premium Brand
<p>Ingredient coverage is more purposeful for its stated use. A clearly identified L-proline amount makes this a focused option for targeted supplementation. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, it provides greater dose depth or broader supporting ingredients, although the intended use may differ.</p>

<p>Ingredient coverage is more purposeful for its stated use. Lysine and proline form a coherent pair for structural protein and collagen support at practical amounts. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, it provides greater dose depth or broader supporting ingredients, although the intended use may differ.</p>

Pharmaceutical Grade AjiPure Glycine 500 mg

Swanson Ultra
<p>It has a lower listed serving cost while keeping its active ingredients clearly described. A branded pharmaceutical-grade source gives the simple capsule unusually clear raw-material quality. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the trade-off is a different dose or purpose rather than a direct like-for-like replacement.</p>

Glycine 500 mg

Solgar
<p>It has a lower listed serving cost while keeping its active ingredients clearly described. The simple capsule clearly discloses glycine but provides an entry-level amount that may require several capsules for multi-gram use. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the trade-off is a different dose or purpose rather than a direct like-for-like replacement.</p>

Glycine 500 mg

Country Life
<p>It has a lower listed serving cost while keeping its active ingredients clearly described. The disclosed glycine amount is modest, while vitamin B6 adds a relevant cofactor without solving the low glycine dose. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the trade-off is a different dose or purpose rather than a direct like-for-like replacement.</p>

<p>It offers a useful balance of disclosed ingredients and practical serving value. Lysine and proline provide a clear, well-matched structural amino-acid combination with practical amounts. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the formula gives a different combination or a less costly route to one of the same amino-acid pathways.</p>

Liga-Tend

Country Life
<p>It offers a useful balance of disclosed ingredients and practical serving value. Proline, vitamin C, zinc, manganese, enzymes, glycine, and cartilage create a coherent connective-tissue formula at a low recurring cost. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the formula gives a different combination or a less costly route to one of the same amino-acid pathways.</p>

Advanced Magnesium Complex

AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Advanced
<p>It offers a useful balance of disclosed ingredients and practical serving value. Several absorbable magnesium forms and a substantial glycine yield make this a well-designed foundational mineral formula. Compared with the original’s substantial plant protein and vitamin C but modest 100 mg amounts of glycine and proline plus two proprietary blends, the formula gives a different combination or a less costly route to one of the same amino-acid pathways.</p>
