Chocolate Collagen Protein Powder v. Optimal Chocolate Collagen

ProMix Nutrition Chocolate Collagen v. Optimal Chocolate Collagen

Q & A with Promix Founder & CEO, Albert Matheny

“What’s the difference between Chocolate Collagen Peptides and Optimal Chocolate Collagen Peptides?”

OPTIMAL CHOCOLATE

Promix Optimal Chocolate Collagen Peptides have 5 grams of Branched Chain Amino acids added so it is more of a complete protein. Collagen is not really a complete protein on its own, so I never recommend it as a post workout (even though other brands might market it to you as such). Adding the 5g of BCAAs allows collagen to become better suited for a post workout refuel for those who see it as a dietary need, have a taste preference for it, or just have a dairy-allergy and needed a viable collage option (read all about the other benefits of BCAAs).

TRADITIONAL CHOCOLATE

That said, traditional Chocolate Collagen Peptides are delicious and a great source of protein for all day consumption, just not immediately post-work like the Optimal variety we created specifically for that purpose. All Promix Collagen Peptides are great in hot liquids and blend well into cold shakes and smoothies when stirred in or shaken. You can even replace any of the suggested proteins in our smoothie recipes with them, or check out our favorite recipe for Lean Energy Coffee!
