Do you recommend counting the protein in the collagen a towards daily goal?Updated 10 months ago

The protein in collagen should count towards your protein macros if you are consuming other sources of protein in combination with collagen during the course of a day. Collagen is not complete protein but if someone is consuming other sources of complete protein throughout the day then they likely have enough essential amino acids (EAAs - building blocks of protein) in their system to utilize the protein in collagen effectively. We cover more on EAAs here: https://www.equipfoods.com/blogs/news/essential-amino-acids-and-why-complete-protein-matters
