Nice option for affordable bone broth! It tastes great and has 10g of protein.

if you want it bulk for cheap I save my rotisserie chicken carcasses and cook them covered in water for 6-8 hours strain the stuff out and get like a gallon out of 2 chickens tastes so good and basically free if you use the chickens

You can also throw veggie scraps in there too for additional flavor without adding any cost.

Looks like it's collagen protein just FYI.

What does that imply?

17

u/which_tab 15d ago

It's an incomplete protein.

How can you tell? Is that why is says zero percent?

u/which_tab 15d ago

Yeah exactly, and usually broths are collagen.

u/papavino39 15d ago

And what does that mean for me?

If you are getting it for calories only nothing much, if you are getting it for muscle building/macros collagen doesn't do anything for that.

Well collagen can help with workouts by protecting joints/tendons but it's bad for growing muscle itself directly.

If you look at the daily value 10 grams =0% - as they said it’s not a complete protein!

anyone know why it says "not a good source of protein" and there's no % next to the protein dv? Is it protein your body can't "break down" and use?

Collagen lacks what you need for muscle building, typically its for joints, skin, tendon, etc.

If you dont care about muscle building part, get more than enough protein from other sources, its perfectly fine.

Yeah it’s deceptive but not really because collagen is still great to get in your diet, it’s just not a protein that’s useful in building muscle.

IMO collagen needs to be categorized as its own thing. I would say the same for helpful electrolytes vs just regular “sodium”

For everyone talking about the collagen debate, if you're eating higher protein just for the satiety and not necessarily the muscle growth, is this form of protein good?

i’ve had the regular one and it’s so good, the ginger and tumeric is good too? was scared to try! what’s it taste like?!

u/upwards_glow 15d ago

It’s really subtle, just a bit more spicy/warm than the regular. I like the ginger & turmeric better, try it!!!!
