"A favorite flavor of many of my colleagues! It doesn't have enough amino acids to reach 2.5 grams of leucine so I add to 2 scoops of Biotics Whey Protein Isolate. Made from a highly concentrated bone broth isolate. The protein is sourced from hormone-free, antibiotic-free, non-GMO cows in Sweden. Collagen protein is beneficial to skin, bones, hair, nails, and hair."

"This is the one I use. I prefer to use vanilla so I can flavor it with chocolate or berries. Lots of people love the chocolate Creme version. See my recipe above. It doesn't have enough amino acids to reach 2.5 grams of leucine so I add 2 scoops of Biotics Whey Protein Isolate. Made from a highly concentrated bone broth isolate. The protein is sourced from hormone-free, antibiotic-free, non-GMO cows in Sweden."

"Another favorite of many of my colleagues! This one has a similar flavor to my favorite Biotics Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein. It uses stevia as a sweetener vs luo han guo extract, which Biotics uses. There is also an unflavored version, below, and chocolate version (see bottom of this list). Contains HydroBEEF™, a highly concentrated, pure beef protein, produced through an exclusive proprietary process that allows the protein to be hydrolyzed into more peptides, resulting in easier absorption and assimilation. This product contains beef from animals raised in Sweden without hormones or antibiotics, and is free of any GMO grains, grasses, and/or ensilage."

"Another favorite of many of my colleagues! I suspect the source of this protein and amino acid profile is similar to the Biotics one I use to I recommend supplementing with additional whey, egg white protein, or amino acid supplements. Contains HydroBEEF™, a highly concentrated, pure beef protein, produced through an exclusive proprietary process that allows the protein to be hydrolyzed into more peptides, resulting in easier absorption and assimilation. This product contains beef from animals raised in Sweden without hormones or antibiotics, and is free of any GMO grains, grasses, and/or ensilage."

"Add 1 or more tsp. to protein shake. From Medical News Today: "Recent studies claim that beets and beetroot juice can improve athletic performance, reduce blood pressure, and increase blood flow." - https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/277432 "

"This would be added to the Biotics or Pure Paleo Protein to ensure enough amino acids for protein muscle synthesis. You would need to add 21 grams (1 scoop is 33 so a scale would be helpful but 1 scant scoop is good enough as well). This is vanilla flavored, which would work well for protein shakes. For savory protein sparing recipes, you can use the Now Food Egg White Protein or JayRobb brand online."

"UltraMeal Advanced Protein® is a medical food specially formulated to support the nutritional management of sarcopenia, however, it's great for most aging adults due to the amino acid profile for muscle protein synthesis. 2 scoops provides adequate amount so no additional boost is needed. For the flavored versions, they are just short of 2.5 grams of leucine so heaping scoops would likely be just right to reach that amount. This advanced formula features essential amino acids, including added leucine, to support the healthy aging of skeletal muscle and to help address sarcopenia, the age-associated loss of skeletal muscle mass. Each serving provides 21 g of protein from a proprietary blend of pea and rice and amino acids. 10 g (of the total protein) consist of essential amino acids including 5 g of BCAA, which, combined with exercise, may help support muscle maintenance. Cocoa polyphenols support processes that contribute to healthy blood flow and vascular function. Additionally UltraMeal Advanced Protein contains 20+ essential vitamins and minerals—including calcium L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF, a body-ready folate), methylcobalamin (vitamin B12)—to support protein synthesis and healthy metabolic function.

"Some individuals do not do as well with whey as a primary source of a protein supplement but can use a good quality brand such as Biotics, especially a whey protein isolate vs whey protein which is both more bioavailable and more easily digested than standard whey. Whey protein isolate can be used stand alone if you tolerate it, or to boost the amino acid profile of the paleo/Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein based (which do not have sufficient amino acids on their own to stimulate muscle protein synthesis). My usual choice is the combination of Biotics Research Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein - Vanilla Crème (2 scoops) + Biotics Whey Protein Isolate (2 scoops) - it provides closer to 40 grams of protein and contains all the amino acids required for protein muscle synthesis. Alternatively, you can also use about 21 grams of egg white powder in place of the 3 tablespoons of Whey Protein Isolate (which I have done and it tastes really good and whips up nicely as well.)"
