Beyond Raw’s Chemistry Labs is the GNC house brand’s premium collection of mostly straightforward, standalone supplements consumers can use by themselves or add to a wider stack. Recent products have stretched that concept into more complex areas, although its latest addition returns to the series’ simpler roots. Collagen Peptides is the latest in the line, a powder designed specifically to support tendons and joint health and function.
Instead of relying on standard collagen, Beyond Raw’s Collagen Peptides is backed by 5g of Tendoforte, a clinically studied hydrolyzed bovine collagen specifically for tendon and ligament health. Gelita, the company behind Tendoforte, has proven it can enhance joint stability and tendon thickness when paired with resistance training. The collagen goes on to provide 4g of protein, no carbohydrates or sugar, and a calorie count of 20.
The Beyond Raw innovation is completely unflavored for easier stacking with other supplements and smoothies. The cost on this one is a bit more than your standard collagen, although again, that’s because you’re getting the more premium and proven Tendoforte as your source of collagen. Collagen Peptides is going live shortly at GNC, where you’ll pay $24.99 for a tub of 30 servings, so enough to get your through the typical month.
