Hi guys!

I was wondering if anyone has tried hydrolyzed collagen as a protein supplement as opposed to whey and how they feel about it.

I know it isn't as effective where muscle growth is concerned, but I really can't stomach the taste of whey (and chocolate/peanut butter doesn't cover it well enough). It looks like it might have other benefits as well. Thanks!

    Personally I wouldn’t use it as whey substitute. I would probably eat more protein rich foods.

    Heee is a good review from an unbiased source.

    From a protein perspective, its highly inferior. If you are trying it to help skin, it might be better.


    I would ask, how many different whey's have you tried? Have you tried a blend like PEScience or Quest? I ask because there are significant.taste differences between brands.
