Why 6.6 of 10: Provisional: real evidence, wrong aisle for muscle goals.
what’s good
- Good for skin/joints
worth knowing
- Incomplete protein
- Overhyped for gains
what the evidence says
Collagen is not a complete protein and repeatedly underperforms whey for muscle outcomes in trials; its genuine evidence lies elsewhere, in modest skin-elasticity and joint-comfort improvements over 8-24 weeks. Buying it for gains is the category's most common mistake.
