Question
I’m looking into a protein supplement. I don’t consume enough meat products. (Not against animal base just don’t prefer the taste after being a “wild salmon eating” “vegetarian” otherwise.) I do eat organic eggs and grass fed dairy. I found another product retail but it was missing 1 essential amino acid and made only with Bovine grass fed. Will yours be complete protein because you have sources from chickens and fish? I’m so new to this. I have read and understand Dr. Cate’s book.Emily
There are a couple points to address in Emily’s question, so we’ll break each point out and address individually below.
I don’t consume enough meat products.
Due to not getting enough meat (especially on the bone) we’d highly recommend trying one of our multi-collagen powder products, which are sourced from:
- grass-fed, pasture-raised beef
- free range chickens
- wild caught tilapia/red snapper
- eggshell membrane

What to Look for in Collagen Powder: Buying Guide
We’d recommend learning about what collagen peptides are made of & how they’re made.

By not eating foods with collagen or drinking bone broth, you are not feeding your body a vital food group — collagen protein.
I do eat organic eggs and grass fed dairy.
Eggs and grass-fed dairy are superfoods, so that’s good you consume on the regular!
I’m so new to this. I have read and understand Dr. Cate’s book.
Collagen is different from any other protein and tells your body to “Go fix connective tissue!”, which could mean joint material, skin, blood vessels, your small intestine, your eyeballs, anything almost! (see all of collagen powder’s benefits)
I found another product retail but it was missing 1 essential amino acid and made only with Bovine grass fed. Will yours be complete protein because you have sources from chickens and fish?
No. The only complete protein is probably a bone-in ribeye and homemade chicken bone broth, no supplement is complete in my opinion (related: Whey Protein vs Collagen Protein). Simply put, your body needs both collagen protein and muscle meat protein, which you are getting from eggs and dairy. Add collagen to your diet and you’re golden!
