What’s in it Every ingredient, in label order
- Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid), 50 mg
- Sodium, 60 mg (the maker says it is naturally present)
- Collagen peptides (bovine), 11.6 g
- FORTIGEL collagen hydrolysate, 5.2 g
Who tested it What each test found, and who paid for it
- Paid certification NSF (Certified for Sport; the maker pays)
Lists “MOMENTOUS COLLAGEN PEPTIDES” (listing 1258469): powder, unflavored, 507 g, serving 1 scoop (16.9 g), 15 g protein, 60 calories, lots “All”. NSF says it checks label content, contaminants and banned substances and the factory. It publishes lots, not results. NSF’s copy of the label shows 50 mg of sodium where the maker’s current label shows 60 mg, so the label on file may be an earlier one. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
- Maker’s own test Light Labs (results published through Momentous; the maker pays) February 2026
Momentous’s page embeds Light Labs’ test summary for this product: 17 tests, 17 passed, the latest on 10 February 2026. We could not open the individual results, so we do not know which metals or limits are covered. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
- Paid certification SuppCo TESTED program (brands pay to join; SuppCo buys the product itself from the brand’s site) 2026
SuppCo’s page lists the product as Tested, with a TrustScore of 10. The program checks key actives for identity and potency against the label, not contaminants. SuppCo’s FAQ says brands pay to take part and that payment does not buy a pass. The figures are in SuppCo’s app. Open ↗ (opens in a new tab)
Who paid, and why it matters
- Independent The tester took no money from the maker for it: a consumer group, a journalist, a university or a regulator.
- Paid certification An outside lab or certifier tested or listed it, and the maker paid for that.
- Maker’s own test A lab report or certificate of analysis the maker commissioned and published.
A certification is a floor, not a verdict: it checks what its program checks and nothing else. We weigh tests by someone with no stake in the result most.
What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found
- Does collagen carry lead, and has anyone tested this one?
- Collagen and gelatin often hold some lead: a 2022 Mamavation survey (opens in a new tab) of brands says most have detectable lead or other heavy metals, and Momentous is not among the brands it lists. Momentous says it holds a certificate for every batch and Light Labs results, but we found no figure to read. California’s Attorney General lists two 2021 notices (2021-00833 and 2021-00911) alleging lead in unspecified dietary supplements, naming Project One Nutrition Inc., which also does business as Momentous (search (opens in a new tab)), and none for collagen. FDA lists no recall for the firm and its warning-letter search finds none (searched 2026-11-03).
- Does collagen work?
- Possibly, a little. Our types and benefits article says collagen peptides likely improve skin elasticity and hydration, with some trial evidence for joint pain at about 10 g a day, and rates its confidence 3 out of 5. The page lists five studies, including a 2025 systematic review (opens in a new tab) of type I collagen hydrolysate; none tests this product.
- Do the page’s numbers match the label?
- Not exactly. The description says 10 g of grass-fed bovine collagen and 5 g of FORTIGEL; the label says 11.6 g and 5.2 g, with 15 g of protein. The difference is small, but the label is the figure to trust.
- Is it really grass-fed?
- Momentous says so on its page, NSF’s label says “grass fed bovine” and Momentous’s own label panel says only “bovine”. No farm, country or certifier is named, so we could not check it.
- Do the people who recommend it get paid?
- We could not tell. Momentous’s site footer lists an affiliate program, and its Trusted Experts page (opens in a new tab) names 31 athletes, coaches, doctors and a charity as a team that helps it, without saying whether they are paid. We did not find a current Huberman Lab sponsorship, which some readers ask about.
Why we chose it What put it on our list
- The label is short: collagen peptides (bovine) 11.6 g, FORTIGEL collagen hydrolysate 5.2 g and vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 50 mg per 16.9 g scoop, with “Other ingredients: none”. No sweetener, flavor, gum or color.
- NSF’s Certified for Sport database lists the unflavored 507 g jar with the lot field “All”. NSF says it checks that the contents match the label, that contaminants are not at unsafe levels and that none of 290 banned substances are present.
- Momentous says it publishes Light Labs test results for each product and a certificate of analysis for every batch. Light Labs’ summary for this product shows 17 tests, all passed, the latest on 10 February 2026.
- About 15 g of protein a serving is in the range our collagen articles describe for the trials, which used roughly 10 g a day.
Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy
- Collagen is not a complete protein, so it should not be your main protein source.
- We could not read any lead, cadmium or arsenic figure. NSF publishes lots, Light Labs’ summary is a count of passed tests, and both are programs the maker pays for.
- “Grass-fed” is the maker’s word, and the label panel says only “bovine”. No farm, country or certifier is named.
- $1.83 a serving, about $3.05 per 25 g of protein, more than most of the whey we list.
- Momentous has had California lead notices (2021) and took its own multivitamin off our list over lead in its lot reports. This collagen is not named in either.
What to know Details worth knowing first
Momentous sells a collagen powder with three ingredients: bovine collagen peptides, FORTIGEL (a branded collagen hydrolysate) and vitamin C. It is unflavored and unsweetened. Our collagen types and benefits and sources and supplementation articles cover what the research shows, at roughly 10 g a day.
The record behind it is a paid one. NSF lists the 507 g jar, Light Labs’ summary shows 17 passed tests and SuppCo lists it as Tested, but we could not read a lead or cadmium figure, and collagen often holds some lead. “Grass-fed” is the maker’s word with no farm named. For what these records can and cannot show, see how to tell if a supplement is pure.
It is also dear: about $3.05 for 25 g of protein, and collagen is not a complete protein. If you want a collagen with published batch results, Puori CP1 is one ingredient with a lab report for each batch. Momentous is already here with whey protein isolate.

- NSF (Certified for Sport, paid by the maker); Light Labs and SuppCo programs the maker joins
| What we checked | What we found |
|---|---|
| Third-party tested Verified | NSF’s Certified for Sport database lists the unflavored 507 g jar (opened 2026-11-03). Light Labs shows 17 of 17 tests passed (latest 2026-02-10) and SuppCo lists it as Tested. The maker pays for NSF; Light Labs’ results are published by the maker. |
| Heavy metals checked Not verified | NSF says it checks contaminants; Momentous says each batch has a certificate of analysis and Light Labs results. We found no lead, cadmium or arsenic figure for collagen. |
| A plain label Verified | Vitamin C 50 mg, sodium 60 mg, collagen peptides (bovine) 11.6 g and FORTIGEL collagen hydrolysate 5.2 g a scoop, read from the maker’s label; other ingredients none. No amino acids added and no proprietary blend. |
| Disclosed extras Maker’s claim | None: other ingredients are none. Unflavored, so no sweetener or flavor. Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans. |
| A clear source Maker’s claim | The page says grass-fed bovine. We saw no named farm, country or certifier. |
| Prop 65 notices and recalls Verified | Two 2021 lead notices name Project One Nutrition Inc., also doing business as Momentous, for unspecified dietary supplements. No notice names this collagen, FDA’s enforcement databases list nothing for Momentous, and its warning-letter search finds none (searched 2026-11-03). |
What the labels mean
- Verified We opened an independent record that confirms it: a certifier’s listing, a regulator’s list or a lab report. It is linked under Sources.
- Maker’s claim The maker says so on its own page or label. We read it but found no independent record.
- Not verified We looked and could not confirm it, or the maker does not say. Treat it as unknown.
