I have been seeing these Protein Shot Drinks that ae sold in vials - they ususally have about 25 grams of protein or more in less that 3 ounces of flavored liquid.

I was wondering has anyone tried any of these? Just Curious

This is an example of what I am talking about: Protein Shots

They contain mostly collagen protein, which we don't absorb because it doesn't have all the necessary amino acids. They are a waste of money.

They are also made by boiling the skin and hooves of horses, cows and pigs.

It is my understanding that they generally are usually mostly collagen protein which does us no good.

I clicked on your link and the first review I saw made me LOL:

"I drink these for lunch because I need protein and like to torture myself. They taste like a wild boar's butthole farting green apple, but I just close my eyes and pretend that I am Dumbledore drinking the Drink of Despair and I'm able to choke it down."

Sounds like Isopure to me.

Oh man.. you mean those brightly colored fruity RTD ones? I bought a bottle of every flavor and ended up taking one swig from each bottle and pouring them out. They were SOOO nasty!

I now have an aversion to all things Isopure due to those stupid drinks!

I despise their protein waters but their protein smoothies are actually pretty good. I don't care for the peach one, but I like the other two flavors. Very light texture...

But at least they are the right kind of protein. I drank them during my pre-op period and was fine with them. But post-op they tasted gross to me.

But, I switched to and still use their Chocolate protein powder.

Yes I read that too and it made me laugh.

But are they all made with Collagen Protein? Is there any company out there that has made them differently?

Collagen protein is really the only way to get so much protein into such a small amount of liquid. Do NOT be fooled by the fact that they advertise that they contain whey protein. If you look at the ingredients, which have to be listed in the order of the greatest ingredients first, you will always see that the collagen protein is first (and there is no way to know whether it is 90% collagen and only 10% whey or if it is 51% collagen and 49% whey). Collagen protein is cheap, so it is likely to be closer to the former than the latter.

They also taste like crap, BTW. If you really want to choke down something that tastes pretty bad but has a lot of protein that your body CAN use, you can mix the Syntrax nectar whey protein with only 3 ounces of liquid. (Be warned, though, that the taste will be intense!)
