Consumer advice
- • If you want a protein supplement, whey protein or a complete plant-based protein will give you better amino acid coverage for less money. If you specifically want collagen support, a hydrolyzed collagen peptide product (like Vital Proteins or Great Lakes) delivers the same collagen precursors at roughly half the price. Before buying, check the label for:.
- • total protein per serving,.
- • whether it's a complete protein, and.
- • actual mg of bone broth protein per serving. The product page provides none of this information, which is itself a yellow flag. Don't pay the "clean wellness" brand premium without verifying the label first.
