Can I replace my regular protein powder with collagen or use them interchangeably?

No, you can’t. Collagen does not contain all 9 essential amino acids (EAAs). Essential amino acids are protein-based building blocks that our body can’t produce, and we must obtain them from our diet by either eating animal protein, a combination of vegetable proteins or by taking a protein supplement. Our body needs EAAs for protein synthesis including building lean muscle mass, tissue repair, and nutrient absorption. When choosing a protein powder, note to choose one that has all EAAs in adequate amounts, as well as clean ingredients with no artificial nasties. Nature’s Superfoods Clean & Complete Plant Protein Powder series which feature our star ingredient, Sacha Inchi Seed, is one such example of a high-quality, bioavailable, complete protein powder that are easily absorbed and utilized by the body.
