LIQUID COLLAGEN MAKES A COMEBACK?!??!! Im almost never surprised when junk that was popular a decade or more makes a comeback, as thats the nature of the business, as it is with others (bell bottoms anyone!?). But I have to admit I have been taken by surprise that liquid collagen protein has made a comeback with people. This garbage product, made from boiling animals hides and left over parts, is (to use a scientific term) total crap. Its not a complete protein, and is not fit as a protein source period. Never was, and sure as hell aint now. This is the same garbage that was the liquid aminos we all gobbled down in the 80s not knowing any better and is where Jello comes from. Whats really amazing is the companies selling it are claiming its superior to whey (animal source) or soy (vegetable source) and clam it has a higher NPU score than other proteins. Thats a bold faced lie pulled right from their you-know-what and people who were to actually replace a large % of their P intake with collagen protein could endanger their health over time as theyd be ingesting a source missing key amino acids. There is no planet where collagen has a higher score, be it NPU, BV, or PER than whey, or any whole source of protein animals or vegtable. Its garbage and a new low point for supplement companies selling it as a protein replacement product. NOTE: the only legit use for hydrolyzed collagen protein may be for joint pain, but thats another issue. NOTE II: Some companies may fortify the collagen with the missing amino acids to improve its profile, which would improve the product and reduce chances of any health related issues, but theres still no reason to prefer it over known quality sources of whole protein, such as whey, egg, chicken, etc.
