New Whey Protein Shot?

[OZ-USF-UFGator]

Anyone use this stuff? I take a shot immediately after my workout, before showering. It has 42 g of collagen and milk protein, but I've heard that collagen isn't too bioavaliable. Anyone have an opinion on this stuff?

Yep, collagen sucks. Just use BCAAs + waxy maize + creatine. Way better.

Yep, collagen sucks.

Doesn't it make your hair and nails pretty?

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

It is a major constituent in just about every tissue, but it sucks as a protein source.

I use the shots. Trying to get my hair to grow and KEEP wht I got. And yes, it does help a lot. For me anyway.

[Jordan Feigenbaum]

The point is not whether it's better than nothing, which it most certainly is, the point is whether or not it's optimal, which it most certainly is not.

I take the shot, followed by 12 oz of strawberry milk after a workout. I know collagen is hard to digest, but i think the ingredients for the shot is made up of hydrolyzed collagen. That's a 10 dollar word for partially digested, so this should increase bio-avaliability. It makes me feel good, anyhow and at least I know I am getting a decent shot of post workout protein from the milk! Yummy!

It's not the bioavailability only, it's the amino acid profile, which is junk. Get a whey or casein (or a blend) protein shot if you can find one.
