Collagen and Protein in One Serving: Why Zeotein Combines Them

Walk into most kitchens that take supplements seriously and you will find two containers doing related jobs: a protein powder and a collagen powder. One gets scooped into a shake. The other gets stirred into coffee and forgotten about for weeks.

Zeotein Cacao puts both into one serving. Here is the reasoning.

They are not the same protein

Collagen is a protein, but it is an incomplete one. It is low in tryptophan, so it does not stand in for a complete protein source on its own.

Complete proteins like grass-fed bone broth protein cover the full set of essential amino acids. Collagen peptides bring a concentrated dose of glycine, proline and hydroxyproline on top of that.

Taken together, you get a complete protein plus a heavy pour of the amino acids that make up skin, hair, nails, tendons and joint tissue.† Taken separately, you get the same thing with an extra container and an extra step.

Hydrolyzed means it actually dissolves

Collagen peptides are hydrolyzed, which means the long protein chains have been broken into short ones. Short chains dissolve into liquid rather than clumping on the surface. That is why collagen can ride inside a blended powder and still mix smooth in a shaker with 10 to 12 ounces of liquid.

The practical argument

The reason most collagen tubs go stale is friction. A supplement you have to remember separately is a supplement you stop taking.

Folding it into the thing you already drink removes the decision. One serving, two scoops, 23 grams of protein with the collagen already in it.
