They make a natural whey, which is what I use and I recommend.
It just depends on what you like, like flavor-wise.
So for me, yeah, yeah, yeah.
So for me, that's what... No taste, yeah, yeah.
Yes, and for people that cannot tolerate whey, like you said, some people can't, that's where you would do a plant-based shake.
There are other kind of animal-based shakes that are great.
and you can try those.
Just make sure, so collagen is not a complete protein.
So I don't, I think collagen is amazing, but collagen does not count towards overall protein intake because it is deficient in tryptophan and extraordinarily low in branched chain amino acids.
I mean, I always throw it in.
I put in, well, I mean, so I mostly don't eat, I mostly eat my food.
Uh-huh.
Not usually, but I do put collagen in my coffee.
If I'm having a shake, I'll do one scoop of whey and then one scoop of collagen or a scoop and a half of whey.
I don't really do a lot of fruits early on.
Could I do four scoops and it's like, okay, now it's just like... I mean, your stomach might hurt and you'll use all of it.
That's a myth where you absorb and utilize all of it.
For a muscle perspective, you probably won't get more benefit or much more benefit over 50 to 55 grams.
But it doesn't mean that it is a waste.
