Revive MD CollaPURE delivers 12 grams of hydrolyzed Type I and Type III collagen peptides per scoop — sourced from 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised bovine — with no proprietary blend and no hidden fillers. This is v2 of the formula: a deliberately simplified, fully transparent label built around one core decision — deliver a meaningful daily dose of collagen-derived protein without dressing it up with unnecessary additions. Informed Sport certified, meaning every single batch is independently tested for 285+ substances banned by WADA and major sport bodies, accredited to ISO 17025. Cold-water soluble and unflavored (or lightly Chocolate-flavored using Cocoa Powder, Stevia Leaf Extract, and Monk Fruit Extract) so it dissolves cleanly into coffee, water, smoothies, or oatmeal without altering the taste. 30 servings per container. Physician formulated. Not a complete protein for muscle building — this is a targeted structural protein for joints, skin, hair, nails, and connective tissue, not a whey isolate replacement.†

Revive MD's CollaPURE has gone through a formula update reflected in the "v2" naming. Earlier collagen listings under the Revive MD name showed variations that included added Vitamin C and Biotin, and in at least one regional listing, a marine collagen source at a lower 10g dose. The current v2 formula strips this back to a single, verifiable active ingredient: 12g of hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides, full stop. No proprietary blend, no added actives diluting the label, no ambiguity about what you're actually getting per scoop. This label transparency is a real advantage in the collagen category — many collagen products bury their actual collagen content inside multi-ingredient blends that make it difficult to know exactly how much collagen protein you're consuming. With CollaPURE v2, the entire 12g of protein per serving is collagen.†
CollaPURE sources its collagen from 100% grass-fed, pasture-raised cows — cattle raised on open pasture rather than grain-finished in conventional feedlot conditions. Grass-fed sourcing reflects both an animal welfare and a compositional consideration: research has documented that grass-fed dairy and beef products carry a more favorable fatty acid profile than grain-fed sources, and grass-fed production typically avoids the routine antibiotic use and synthetic growth hormones common in conventional cattle operations. Bovine collagen specifically provides both Type I and Type III collagen — a broader coverage than marine collagen sources, which are Type I predominant and lack Type III entirely. Bovine collagen is also more affordable, more widely available, and provides an alternative for individuals with fish allergies who cannot use marine collagen products.†
Type I collagen is the most abundant collagen type in the human body — the primary structural protein in skin, tendons, ligaments, and bone, responsible for tensile strength and structural integrity throughout connective tissue. Type III collagen co-localizes with Type I in skin, muscle tissue, and blood vessel walls, contributing the more elastic properties that allow these tissues to stretch and rebound. Together, Type I and Type III account for the vast majority of collagen present in the tissues most people supplement collagen for — skin, joints, tendons, and the vascular system. Marine collagen sources provide Type I only; CollaPURE's bovine source provides both types in the same ratio naturally found in the body's own connective tissue.†
The collagen in CollaPURE is hydrolyzed — enzymatically pre-digested into shorter peptide chains before packaging. Native, non-hydrolyzed collagen is too large a molecule to be absorbed intact through the intestinal wall; hydrolysis breaks the collagen down into short peptide fragments (primarily Hydroxyproline-Proline and Hydroxyproline-Glycine dipeptides) small enough to be absorbed directly into systemic circulation. Once absorbed, these specific collagen-derived peptide fragments are recognized by skin and joint fibroblasts as signals that stimulate new collagen synthesis — the mechanism underlying the skin elasticity and joint comfort research associated with hydrolyzed collagen supplementation specifically, as opposed to unhydrolyzed collagen or general dietary protein.†
CollaPURE carries Informed Sport certification — one of the most rigorous third-party testing standards available in sports nutrition. Every single batch is tested for more than 285 substances banned by WADA and major sport governing bodies, with testing accredited to ISO 17025 (a globally recognized analytical laboratory standard). For competitive athletes, this certification provides documented, batch-level assurance that the product has been verified free of prohibited substances before it ships — a meaningful distinction from products that simply claim to be "clean" without independent verification.†
CollaPURE is not a complete protein source for muscle building, and it is not suitable as a primary protein supplement for strength athletes chasing muscle protein synthesis. Collagen lacks adequate tryptophan and is deficient in several other essential amino acids required for a complete muscle-building amino acid profile — at 12g per serving, CollaPURE also falls well below the 20-30g range most commonly associated with maximizing the mTOR-mediated muscle protein synthesis response that whey or other complete proteins provide. This is by design: CollaPURE is a targeted structural protein for connective tissue — joints, tendons, ligaments, skin, hair, and nails — not a whey isolate replacement. The correct mental model is to pair CollaPURE with a complete protein source (like RAW Nutrition or Axe & Sledge whey isolate) elsewhere in your day: use whey for the muscle-building MPS signal, and use CollaPURE for the structural connective tissue support that whey's amino acid profile doesn't specifically address.†
Hydrolyzed collagen peptide supplementation is documented in multiple randomized controlled trials to improve skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce wrinkle depth over 8-12 week supplementation periods, through the fibroblast-stimulating mechanism of the absorbed collagen dipeptides.†
Research on hydrolyzed collagen specifically documents accumulation in joint cartilage after oral supplementation, stimulating chondrocytes to increase new cartilage matrix production and supporting joint comfort during activity and at rest.†
The glycine and proline supplied by collagen supplementation support the structural protein synthesis capacity underlying hair follicle function and nail plate quality, with clinical research documenting reduced nail brittleness and improved growth rates from consistent supplementation.†
Glycine — the most abundant amino acid in collagen, present in higher concentration than in typical dietary protein — supports gut lining health as a fuel source for enterocytes and has documented calming, sleep-supportive properties when taken before bed, which is part of why nighttime is one of the two recommended dosing windows for CollaPURE.†
What changed between the original CollaPURE and v2?
The v2 formula reflects a simplification to a single verifiable active ingredient — 12g of hydrolyzed Type I and Type III bovine collagen peptides with no proprietary blend and no added vitamins or minerals diluting the collagen dose. Some earlier or regional Revive MD collagen listings included Vitamin C and Biotin, or used a lower-dose marine collagen source. The current v2 formula prioritizes label transparency: the full 12g protein content per serving is collagen.†
Can CollaPURE replace my whey protein?
No. Collagen lacks adequate tryptophan and several other essential amino acids required for a complete muscle-building protein profile, and 12g falls below the 20-30g range typically used to maximize muscle protein synthesis. Use CollaPURE for structural connective tissue support (joints, skin, hair, nails) and pair it with a complete protein like whey isolate elsewhere in your day for muscle-building purposes.†
When is the best time to take CollaPURE?
Morning on an empty stomach or at night before bed are both commonly recommended windows. Morning dosing on an empty stomach may support absorption without competition from other dietary protein. Nighttime dosing pairs with glycine's documented calming and sleep-supportive properties. Either timing works — the more important factor is consistent daily use, since collagen's structural benefits accumulate over weeks of supplementation.†
Is CollaPURE appropriate for vegans or vegetarians?
No. CollaPURE is sourced from bovine (beef-derived) collagen and is not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or anyone avoiding animal-derived ingredients. There is currently no plant-based collagen equivalent — collagen is an animal-specific protein structure.†
Mix 1 scoop (16g) into 8-10oz of water, coffee, a smoothie, or any cold or warm (not boiling) beverage. Hydrolyzed collagen is cold-water soluble and unflavored (or lightly Chocolate-flavored) — it dissolves easily without significantly affecting the taste of your drink. Take in the morning on an empty stomach or at night before bed — both are commonly recommended windows. Consistent daily use is recommended for 8-12 weeks to notice the full skin, joint, and connective tissue benefits associated with hydrolyzed collagen supplementation. Not suitable for vegans, vegetarians, or those with beef allergies. Consult a physician before use if you have any medical condition or are taking prescription medications. California Prop 65 Warning applies.†
