    Default Protein Shots

    I've been doing some research on these and they seem to be made with a blend of mostly collagen protein, whey, and casein. The collagen protein, while still good for you, doesn't contain as many amino acids. My question is if I can do maybe half my protein this way or just stick to all whey.

    Yes, collagen is not a complete protein so it does not give us the nutrients we need. I would suggest only using the shots to supplement your protein intake but not to replace it. My nutritionist was very specific about what protein shakes were good for bariatric patients due to their nutritional content. Not all are created equal and we have very different nutritional needs due to our itty bitty tummies. (I do take a scoop of collagen powder every day in my coffee because it helps with skin, hair, and nails but I still get my protein in elsewhere.)

    I just talked to my nutritionist today and she said there is a lot of good preliminary into on callagen protein but it's relatively new. She recommended only counting 25g towards your total for the day. .
