Have any of you used Great Lakes Gelatin Collagen Hydrolysate Beef, Kosher, 16 oz.?

I saw a post on the VSG forum about this product and wondered if any of you used this and what you thought?

I couldn't find the post you are referring to. But collagen protein is incomplete, has a very low bioavailability, and in general is a very poor choice. I certainly wouldn't count on it for my daily protein minimums.

Hi Grim,

Here is the post:

I have to be honest I must live under a rock, had not heard of it and wanted to check with my RNY buds 

Thanks!

Collagen should not be used as a replacement for essential protein our body need. But we need that for skin, joints, nails and hair... ... It is not a complete protein to build muscles or repair damaged tissue..but it is great for other stuff... 

Gelatin is great in addition to minimum protein requirements pour body needs. It is used by joins, skin, hair. He complete protein is used by muscles and other body parts. 

I use that or normal gelatin.  Collagen is very important IMO. 

Hi H.a.l.a 

What brand do you use?  I was reading the reviews and 8 out of 10 said they could not taste it but a couple said the taste made them gag.  Can you taste it? How do you consume it?  How much, how often?

Thanks for your input

I use regular gelatin I can buy - I try to get best money can buy...I can drink it warm or use to make jello desserts.

I use ZINT now. Unflavored Gelatin Powder,Kosher Beef Gelatin By Zint-Organic-Pasture Raised...
