I have....they r very tart...and u should only take 1/2 at a time because we cannot absorb all 50g of Protein at once.....but watch out...if u r using them immediately after surgery they can cause diarrhea .....fyi!!

From the ingredients listed, it is collagen base Protein as the #1 ingredient:

Purified Water, Proprietary Protein Blend [Hydrolyzed Collagenic Protein Isolate, Whey Protein Isolate And Casein Protein Isolate], Malic Acid, Natural Flavors, Branch Chain Amino Acids (Leucine, Isoleucine, Valine), Acefulmate-Potassium, Sucralose, FD&C Blue #1 Contains: Milk Contains No Preservatives.

From the ASMBS guidelines: Page S93 starts the protein talk and it warns against collagen protein consumption considering it's not a complete protein:

This medical documentation also proves that there is ZERO scientific evidence that we can not absorb a specific amount of protein per serving/per meal. Our bodies absorb ALL the protein we eat, how it is assimilated and broken down by the body thus how it used by the body is more important. The XX amount of protein per meal/per sitting is complete myth with zero medical or scientific evidence to support that theory. Our bodies simply need a higher quality of protein than what collagen can offer for recovery purposes, and to protect our lean muscle mass and organs after major surgery and extremely limited capacity for nutrient and protein dense foods.

My doc says that these shots and others like them are junk because of the collagen in them.
