The 18g of protein is incomplete collagen missing tryptophan, so it supports skin and joints but does not count as a complete protein for muscle or a meal. (source)
The honest take
This is about as clean as a supplement gets on the label side. One scoopable ingredient from bovine hide, no sugar, no sweeteners, no seed oils, and 20g of collagen delivering 18g of protein in just 70 calories per serving. The catch for a health minded shopper is that collagen is an incomplete protein missing tryptophan, so those 18 grams should not be treated as a real muscle building or meal protein the way whey or a mixed diet would. The skin, hair, and joint benefits people buy it for are supported by some studies but the effect sizes are modest, so treat it as a nice to have add in rather than a must have.
