Collagen Protein

There was talk about protein bullets and shots in another discussion. I thought I'd share with evveryone the information I received from my NUT about collagen protein.  It might help someone.

"BUYER BEWARE: Another "low quality: ingredient popping up in protein drinks, bars and bullets is hydrolyzed collagen protein, also known as gelatin. This is an incomplete protein that is really cheap. Collagen protein supplements are made from the skin of cows, pigs and fish scales. These products are made from wast products of animal rendering plants. In its natural state, collagen is a very poor quality protein because it is devoid of tryptophan, on of the indispensable amino acids. If this protein is in the protein blend of your shake, be cautious especially if it's one of the main sources of protein. Hydrolyzed collagen does have some benefits in terms of joint and skin health but not much for building quality muscle. DO NOT buy New Whey Liquid protein bullets or protein shots."

So be careful I guess and be sure to read the ingredients label.

This was discussed in my class too.

This should really be a sticky note up top so everyone can refer to it. It answers basically every question I've seen, and had myself, about liquid protein.
