Sports Research Collagen Peptides, Unflavoured, 454 g

Description

What it is Each scoop is 11 g of hydrolysed bovine collagen (types I and III), giving 10 g of protein and 40 calories. It’s unflavoured, gluten-free and third-party tested (Informed Choice). About 41 scoops per tub. It clumps in cold drinks, so stir it into something room-temperature first.

An honest note on protein Collagen is protein, but not a complete one: it contains no tryptophan, one of the essential amino acids. So it adds to your protein intake without replacing meat, fish, eggs, dairy or legumes. That matters after 70, when Australia’s recommended protein intake rises from 64 to 81 g a day for men and from 46 to 57 g for women.

Worth knowing It’s made from beef, so it isn’t suitable for vegetarians. Check with your GP if you have a medical condition or take prescription medicines.
