Let me see if I can explain. Collagen is not simply another form of protein, it's an incomplete protein that has no real constructive value in human nutrition.

It's used sparingly and only in applications of texture, mouth feel, etc. - not in nutritional functionality. It's does nothing to support muscle recovery or growth.

Because of FDA law, you can count the grams of protein in collagen even though it's an incomplete, useless protein. Some very unscrupulous supplement companies, like Musclepharm, will exploit this quirk in FDA law to falsely inflate the protein content on their supplements.

Companies that function like this never last. They get exposed and their credibility tanks.
