Unflavored, collagen peptides

Incomplete protein. Most of the protein here is collagen, which lacks tryptophan, one of the nine essential amino acids. High concentration doesn’t make it a complete protein the way whey, egg or soy is.

Research notes
Research notes

Collagen is an incomplete protein: it lacks tryptophan (none is listed in the label's amino acid profile), and the label puts protein at under 1% Daily Value because that figure is adjusted for protein quality. Its protein concentration and cost per gram therefore overstate its value as a complete protein source. Single ingredient: hydrolyzed bovine collagen peptides (type I and III). Supplement Facts read from the Amazon listing image (sportsresearch.com blocked automated access); the panel does not declare fat, carbohydrate or sugars (omitted because they are zero), recorded here as 0. Label says 'about 41 servings'. Price is Amazon's current one-time price; no Typical price or deal badge was shown (Subscribe & Save $29.65 not used). Listing is sold by Sports Research.
