Why this certification matters
- Informed Sport
- Informed Sport certification is especially relevant for athletes in tested sports because products are batch-tested for substances prohibited in sport.
Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from Healthspan UC-II?
- Both Healthspan Elite joint-support products, different mechanisms. Collagen Repair is hydrolysed collagen at gram-scale doses; UC-II is undenatured type II collagen at milligram-scale doses. Choose by the research approach you prefer.
- Where can I buy it?
- Healthspan direct at £26.99 and Amazon UK at £27.99 — pricing is close enough that retailer preference probably matters more than the small gap.
- Is hydrolysed collagen vegan?
- No — hydrolysed collagen is animal-derived (bovine or marine sourced).
- When should I take collagen?
- Collagen is generally taken daily for consistency. Pairing with vitamin C may aid collagen synthesis; time of day matters less than habit-forming.
- Is it Informed Sport tested?
- Yes — every batch screened against the WADA banned-substance list.
