Alert: Companies Pushing Collagen-Based Protein Products

As you might know, the price of high quality whey protein isolate (as well as low quality whey protein concentrate) is much higher than two years ago.

Some companies cannot even GET good quality whey protein isolate. What do they do then?

Well, some companies are trying to get you to buy still lower-quality protein sources by making them sound fashionable, mystical, trendy. Have you noticed anyone selling pea protein and chia protein? Most of them weren’t selling pea protein and chia protein when they could get whey protein isolate at better prices.

Even worse, we think, are the people selling protein supplements that get most of their protein from collagen, and what they don’t tell you..

They don’t tell you when their protein value to your body is much lower than with whey protein. Sometimes they have a protein quality score of zero.

They don’t tell you that typically you would need double or triple the grams of protein to get the same amount of complete protein.

They don’t tell you that collagen is cheap for them to buy because collagen protein typically comes from harvesting the collagen from the skin or stripped carcass of the animal.

Why don’t they tell you?

HOW TO SPOT PRODUCTS WITH COLLAGEN PROTEIN

Sometimes the collagen-based products come in large “test tubes”, sometimes in plastic bottles. The actual product often looks a bit like cough syrup. Always read the ingredients list.

At UNJURY Protein, we ONLY use the whey protein isolate – particularly high quality whey protein isolate. Our PDCAAS score is a perfect 100.

We tell you.
