How we scored this product Show the full breakdown
Bevisning gates dose: the evidence grade sets the ceiling, and the dose decides how much of that ceiling the product reaches. Value = inverse of price-per-trial-dose-day. Community = mean sentiment of external reviews. Säkerhet caps applied after weighting.
This score is our editorial judgment, not a scientific standard. We combine published evidence, dose, price, transparency, and consumer signals into one composite: this is our method, not a peer-reviewed clinical rating. A higher score means a product does better on the factors we weight, not that it is medically proven to work.

Redaktionellt notes
A collagen peptide powder (20g/scoop, in line with typical collagen doses) stacked with Elysium's standard 250mg NR dose, 120mg hyaluronic acid, and 90mg vitamin C. Reasonable ingredient logic for skin/joint support with an NAD+ angle, priced at the premium end of collagen powders ($2.68/serving).
Why this scored this way
This Elysium Health Cofactor scores 6.3, making it below the site average. It contains 90.0mg of Vitamin C, which is only 18% of the 500mg trial dose with grade A evidence (strong human trial data). The quality transparency (5.0) is limited by the lack of third-party testing.
What drives the score up
- Dose-evidence score of 6.6 shows decent alignment with trial doses.
- Collagen Peptider is dosed at the full research level with grade B evidence (promising human data, not yet comprehensive).
- Collagen Peptider is also dosed at the full research level.
What drags it down
- Vitamin C (90.0mg is 18% of the 500mg trial dose) is significantly under-dosed.
- Collagen Peptider (20000.0mg is 200% of the 10000mg trial dose) is well above the trial dose. More is not always better.
- No third-party testing, which caps the quality transparency.
- Quality transparency of 5.0 is below the site average.
- Limited consumer feedback (community score: 6.0).
Why you'd choose it
- You want a reasonably priced connective tissue product.
- You want Vitamin C from a Elysium Health product.
Why you might skip it
- You want third-party verified purity.
- You want a product with a publicly available CoA.
- You need a full trial dose of vitamin c (this product under-doses it).
