    Sounds kind of yucky to me. I like my Premier shakes so I will stick with them.

That sounds really interesting! I hate a lot of the bariatric protien supplement, this looks worth a try! Update and give a review after you try it! :)

Wow they do make liquid protein, I am definitely bringing this up to my nutritionist so maybe I can have this instead

Thanks for posting

This is exactly what I was hoping to be able to find. Thanks

I looked up the ingredients. It's made from collegan. Collegan is made from boiled cow hides. I'd rather stick with whey protein.

pre-digested boiled cow hides...I wonder how they go about 'pre-digesting' it...

After you try it.... let us know how it tastes. Thanks :)

Most doctors and nutritionists do not recommend using collegan protein.

Thanks daisy for the info. I'm just going to ask my doc about it to see what he says.

I was told I can use it so I'm going to. Will never know until you try.

From what I understand they are Pre-digested using friendly flora or bacteria. The kind you want in your gut to get everything going. It doesn't sound disgusting, definitely worth some further research and a try! :)

Just found this on Wikipedia, interesting to read. It is about collagen protein:

"Collagen has a wide variety of applications, from food to medical. For instance, it is used in cosmetic surgery and burns surgery. Hydrolyzed collagen can play an important role in weight management, as a Protein, it can be advantageously used for its satiating power.[citation needed] It is widely used in the form of collagen casings for sausages.

If collagen is sufficiently denatured, e.g. by heating, the three tropocollagen strands separate partially or completely into globular domains, containing a different secondary structure to the normal collagen polyproline II (PPII), e.g. random coils. This process describes the formation of Gelatin, which is used in many foods, including flavored gelatin Desserts. Besides food, gelatin has been used in pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and photography industries.[39] From a nutritional point of view, collagen and gelatin are a poor-quality sole source of protein since they do not contain all the essential amino acids in the proportions that the human body requires—they are not 'complete proteins' (as defined by food science, not that they are partially structured). Manufacturers of collagen-based dietary supplements claim that their products can improve skin and fingernail quality as well as joint health. However, mainstream scientific research has not shown strong evidence to support these claims.[citation needed] Individuals with problems in these areas are more likely to be suffering from some other underlying condition (such as normal aging, dry skin, arthritis etc.) rather than just a protein deficiency.

From the Greek for glue, kolla, the word collagen means "glue producer" and refers to the early process of boiling the skin and sinews of horses and other animals to obtain glue. Collagen adhesive was used by Egyptians about 4,000 years ago, and Native Americans used it in bows about 1,500 years ago. The oldest glue in the world, carbon-dated as more than 8,000 years old, was found to be collagen—used as a protective lining on rope baskets and embroidered fabrics, and to hold utensils together; also in crisscross decorations on human skulls.[40] Collagen normally converts to gelatin, but survived due to the dry conditions. Animal glues are thermoplastic, softening again upon reheating, and so they are still used in making musical instruments such as fine violins and guitars, which may have to be reopened for repairs—an application incompatible with tough, synthetic plastic adhesives, which are permanent. Animal sinews and skins, including leather, have been used to make useful articles for millennia.

Gelatin-resorcinol-formaldehyde glue (and with formaldehyde replaced by less-toxic pentanedial and ethanedial) has been used to repair experimental incisions in rabbit lungs.[41]"
