Paleovalley sells one of the best-sourced bone broth powders on Amazon. It is also one of the most expensive grams of protein you can buy. Here is which flavor to pick, and when to skip it for whey.

**How we rank:** We judge every powder on the label, not the marketing: protein per scoop, cost per 25 g of protein, the full ingredient list and third-party testing. No paid placements, and commission never sets a ranking. [Read our methodology](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/how-we-test/)

Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein is a well-made, honestly sourced powder with a small scoop and a big price. Per the listings at the time of writing, one scoop gives about 13 g of protein from grass-fed beef bones simmered in water, and a 30-serving tub costs roughly $50 to $70. That works out to well over $3 per 25 g of protein, so buy it for gut-friendly collagen in coffee or soup, not to hit a muscle-building protein target.

## 1. The Short Verdict

Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein is good at the thing it is built for and poor at the thing most protein powders are bought for. The thing it is built for is a clean, collagen-rich beef broth powder from grass-fed and grass-finished cattle, made without acids, solvents, fillers or flow agents, per the brand. The thing it is poor at is delivering a lot of protein cheaply. At about 13 g per scoop, it takes two scoops to match one scoop of a typical whey.

If you want a broth powder to stir into morning coffee, a mug of hot water or a pot of soup, and you care where the bones came from, Paleovalley is one of the better choices on Amazon. The Unflavored tub is the one to buy first because it works in sweet and savory food alike and has nothing in it but bone broth. The flavored versions add organic coconut milk powder and monk fruit, which is a short and sensible list.

If you want a protein shake to support muscle after training, skip it. Bone broth protein is mostly collagen, which is low in leucine and missing tryptophan, so gram for gram it does less for muscle protein synthesis than whey, soy or a pea and rice blend. Our [bone broth protein powder rankings](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-bone-broth-protein-powder/) include rivals with 20 g or more per scoop, and a whey isolate costs a fraction as much per gram.

The other honest caveat is price. A 30-serving tub has listed at roughly $50 to $70 depending on retailer and promotion, which puts the cost per 25 g of protein at somewhere around $3.20 to $4.50. That is three to four times what a mainstream whey costs. You are paying for sourcing and processing, and it is fair to decide that is worth it, but you should decide it knowingly.

> **THE VERDICT**
>
> **Buy Unflavored for coffee and cooking. Do not buy it as your main protein.**
>
> Paleovalley earns its place as a grass-fed broth powder with a short label. At about 13 g of collagen-heavy protein per scoop and over $3 per 25 g, it is a supplement to a protein-rich diet, not a replacement for one.

## 2. Who Makes It and How

Paleovalley is a US food and supplement company best known for its grass-fed beef sticks, and the bone broth protein sits in the same sourcing-first line. The brand's pitch, repeated on its Amazon listing, is that the powder comes from the bones of grass-fed, grass-finished, pasture-raised cattle that are never fed grain. That matters to people who follow paleo or ancestral diets and want their protein to match the rest of their kitchen.

The processing claim is the more interesting one. Paleovalley says the bones are simmered only in filtered water and then gently dried into powder, with no harsh acids or solvents. Many collagen and broth products are made by hydrolyzing hides or bones with enzymes or acids to make the powder dissolve easily. A water-simmered broth powder is closer to what you would make at home, which is the appeal, though it also explains why the brand says it does not dissolve as completely as commercial collagen peptides.

The product is sold on Paleovalley's own site, through wellness retailers and on Amazon, where the listing family includes Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Pumpkin Spice at the time of writing. The tubs are small: the Unflavored Amazon listing shows 30 servings in a container of about 1.1 pounds. That small scoop, roughly 16 to 19 g of powder depending on the flavor, is the root of both the gentle taste and the low protein per serving.

Paleovalley positions the powder for gut, skin and joint support rather than muscle. Its listing describes the product as collagen-rich and suitable for daily use, and it is labelled gluten-free, grain-free, soy-free and dairy-free. Those structure-and-function claims are typical of the category and have not been evaluated by the FDA, so treat them as the brand's description of what collagen is generally used for, not as a promise of a result.

## 3. The Label, Flavor by Flavor

The labels are short, which is the best thing about this product. Below are the three flavors whose details we could confirm from the brand's listings and retailer copies of the label at the time of writing. Paleovalley does change recipes from time to time, so read the tub you receive, especially if you track calories or avoid coconut.

| Flavor | Protein / scoop | Calories | Sweetener | Key extras |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Unflavored | About 13 g (listing) | Check label | None | Bone broth only |
| Chocolate | About 13 g | About 80 | Monk fruit | Coconut milk powder, cacao |
| Vanilla | About 13 g | Check label | Monk fruit | Coconut milk powder, Ceylon cinnamon |

The Chocolate label is the most complete one we could read. Per scoop it lists about 80 calories, 13 g of protein, 4 g of carbohydrate including 1 g of fiber, 1 g of fat and around 135 mg of sodium, with organic coconut milk powder, organic cacao, organic chocolate flavor, organic monk fruit extract and Himalayan pink salt added to the broth. That is about as clean as a flavored protein label gets.

Vanilla follows the same pattern, adding organic Ceylon cinnamon, organic coconut milk powder, organic vanilla flavor, monk fruit and pink salt. The Unflavored version is just beef bone broth powder, and the Amazon listing title puts it at 13 g of protein per scoop, although some older third-party listings show up to 15 g. Either way it is a small number, and the flavored versions do not add any protein, only taste.

Two label details are worth knowing. First, the coconut milk powder in the flavored tubs is not dairy, but one retailer flags it as an allergen line, so people with a coconut allergy should stick to Unflavored. Second, broth naturally carries sodium. A scoop has far less than a cup of salted soup, but if you add it to already salty broth or use two scoops a day, the sodium adds up.

## 4. Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Flavors and Alternatives, Ranked

Paleovalley sells its bone broth protein in several flavors on Amazon, including Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla, Salted Caramel and a seasonal Pumpkin Spice. The three below are the ones whose labels we could check in full. Two clearly labelled alternatives from other brands follow for readers who want more protein per scoop for less money. Figures are per the label or listing at the time of writing and vary by flavor and batch.

### 1. Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein (Unflavored)

**Award:** Best Paleovalley Pick | **Type:** Grass-fed beef bone broth powder

- **Protein / serving:** About 13 g (listing)
- **Servings:** 30 per tub
- **Third-party testing:** Pesticide panels (brand)
- **Best for:** Coffee, soups, paleo cooks

The Unflavored tub is the one Paleovalley product we would buy first. It is nothing but powdered broth from grass-fed, grass-finished beef bones, which the brand says are simmered only in filtered water and gently dried, with no acids, solvents, fillers or flow agents. The Amazon listing puts it at about 13 g of protein per scoop and 30 servings per tub at the time of writing. With no sweetener or flavor, it works in coffee, soups, sauces and baking, which makes the small scoop easier to justify.

**Bottom line:** The most useful Paleovalley tub: a clean broth booster for coffee and cooking, not a muscle-building shake.

**Pros:**

- Single ingredient: grass-fed beef bone broth
- Works in savory food as well as drinks
- No sweeteners, gums or flow agents, per the brand
- Batch tested for 40+ pesticides and herbicides, per the brand

**Cons:**

- Only about 13 g of protein per scoop
- Roughly $3.20 or more per 25 g of protein
- Does not dissolve as fully as collagen peptides

### 2. Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein (Chocolate)

**Award:** Best Flavored | **Type:** Grass-fed beef bone broth powder, flavored

- **Protein / serving:** About 13 g (label)
- **Calories:** About 80
- **Sweetener:** Monk fruit
- **Best for:** Mocha coffee, smoothies

Chocolate is the most complete Paleovalley label we could check. Per scoop it lists about 80 calories and 13 g of protein, with 4 g of carbohydrate, 1 g of fiber and 1 g of fat, per the label at the time of writing. The flavor comes from organic cacao, organic coconut milk powder and organic chocolate flavor, and the only sweetener is monk fruit. It is aimed at morning coffee and smoothies, and it is the flavor buyers most often describe as a mocha-style add-in.

**Bottom line:** The flavored tub to pick if you want a sweet coffee or smoothie add-in with a very short label.

**Pros:**

- About 80 calories per scoop
- Sweetened only with monk fruit
- Short organic flavor list
- Good in coffee and blended drinks

**Cons:**

- Same small 13 g scoop as Unflavored
- Coconut milk powder rules it out for coconut allergies
- Cacao adds a little to daily heavy-metal exposure

[Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BXZ5LN34?tag=sktiger-20)

### 3. Paleovalley 100% Grass Fed Bone Broth Protein (Vanilla)

**Award:** Best for Lattes | **Type:** Grass-fed beef bone broth powder, flavored

- **Protein / serving:** About 13 g (label)
- **Calories:** Check label for flavor
- **Sweetener:** Monk fruit
- **Best for:** Lattes, oatmeal, baking

Vanilla uses the same grass-fed broth base with organic coconut milk powder, organic Ceylon cinnamon, organic vanilla flavor, Himalayan pink salt and monk fruit extract, per the label at the time of writing, and it lists about 13 g of protein per scoop. The cinnamon gives it a warmer profile than a plain vanilla whey, which suits lattes, oatmeal and baking. It shares the strengths and weaknesses of the range: a clean label, a small scoop and a premium price.

**Bottom line:** A pleasant latte and oatmeal booster with a clean label, priced as a treat rather than a staple.

**Pros:**

- Monk fruit is the only sweetener
- Cinnamon and vanilla suit lattes and oats
- Organic flavor ingredients

**Cons:**

- About 13 g of protein per scoop
- Premium cost per 25 g of protein
- Contains coconut

### 4. Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein (Pure)

**Award:** Alternative: More Protein per Scoop | **Type:** Chicken and beef bone broth protein concentrate

- **Protein / serving:** About 20 g (Pure, label)
- **Calories:** About 90
- **Source:** Chicken and grass-fed beef broth
- **Best for:** More protein per scoop

If Paleovalley's 13 g scoop is the deal-breaker, Ancient Nutrition's Pure flavor is the obvious alternative. One scoop delivers about 20 g of protein in roughly 90 calories per the label at the time of writing, from a blend of chicken and grass-fed beef bone broth protein concentrates. It is unflavored and unsweetened, widely stocked, and usually cheaper per 25 g of protein than Paleovalley. The trade-off is a blended source rather than grass-fed beef alone.

**Bottom line:** More broth protein per scoop for less money, if blended sourcing does not bother you.

**Pros:**

- About 20 g of protein per scoop (label)
- Unflavored and unsweetened
- Usually lower cost per 25 g than Paleovalley
- Easy to find in stores and online

**Cons:**

- Blends chicken and beef rather than grass-fed beef only
- Still collagen-heavy and low in leucine

### 5. Naked Bone Broth (Unflavored)

**Award:** Alternative: Minimal Label | **Type:** Beef bone broth protein concentrate

- **Protein / serving:** About 20-21 g (2 scoops)
- **Calories:** About 90
- **Source:** European beef bones
- **Best for:** Minimal-ingredient buyers

Naked Bone Broth is the alternative for label readers who want more protein per serving than Paleovalley. Naked Nutrition lists beef broth protein concentrate plus a small amount of sunflower lecithin, with about 20 to 21 g of protein and roughly 90 calories per two-scoop serving, depending on the listing. The brand says its bones come from European cattle and are processed without chemical solvents. Buyer feedback on mixing is mixed, so plan on a blender or hot water.

**Bottom line:** A near-single-ingredient beef broth powder with better protein numbers than Paleovalley.

**Pros:**

- Two ingredients, unflavored and unsweetened
- About 20 to 21 g of protein per serving
- Solvent-free processing, per the brand

**Cons:**

- Mixed buyer feedback on frother mixing
- Small canister means frequent reorders

[Check price on Amazon](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F3PFC993?tag=sktiger-20)

## 5. Cost per 25 g of Protein

Cost per 25 g of protein is the number that makes Paleovalley hard to recommend as a main protein source. A 30-serving tub at about 13 g per scoop holds roughly 390 g of protein. At the $50 to $70 range we saw across the brand, Amazon and partner retailers, that is about $3.20 to $4.50 for every 25 g. Prices move with promotions and subscriptions, so treat those figures as approximate.

> **By the Numbers (approximate)**
>
> - **13 g**: Protein per scoop
> - **30**: Scoops per tub
> - **~390 g**: Protein per tub
> - **$3.20+**: Per 25 g of protein

For context, mainstream whey usually lands somewhere near $1 per 25 g and budget tubs lower still. Even within bone broth, rivals with bigger scoops come out cheaper: Ancient Nutrition's Pure flavor lists about 20 g per scoop and the larger single-ingredient tubs from smaller brands get well under Paleovalley's cost per gram. Paleovalley is the premium end of an already premium category.

The way to make the price sensible is to use less of it, for a different job. One scoop a day in coffee or soup costs roughly $1.70 to $2.30 at typical prices and adds about 13 g of protein and some collagen to a food you would eat anyway. That is a reasonable spend for a lot of people. Two scoops a day as a post-workout shake is where the economics break down.

If you want to compare honestly, divide the tub price by the total grams of protein, then multiply by 25. Do the same for any rival. That one calculation, which our [cheapest protein powder guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-cheap-protein-powder/) runs across brands, settles most protein powder debates faster than any marketing claim on the front of the tub.

## 6. Bone Broth Protein vs Whey for Muscle

Bone broth protein is mostly collagen, and collagen is an unusual protein. It is rich in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline, the amino acids that give connective tissue its structure, but it is low in leucine and contains essentially no tryptophan. That makes it an incomplete protein by the standard definition, which is why it scores poorly on protein quality measures compared with whey, egg, soy or a well-built plant blend.

For muscle, leucine is the amino acid that matters most, because it acts as the signal that switches on muscle protein synthesis after a meal. A 25 g scoop of whey carries roughly 2.5 to 3 g of leucine. A scoop of bone broth protein carries a small fraction of that. Two scoops of Paleovalley still would not match one scoop of whey for this purpose, so a shake made only from broth powder is a poor post-workout choice.

That does not make bone broth protein useless. Collagen protein still counts toward your daily protein total, and research on collagen peptides has looked at skin, joint and tendon outcomes with mixed but sometimes encouraging results. The honest framing is that it does a different job. Our [collagen protein powder guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-collagen-protein-powder/) covers what that research does and does not show.

The practical answer for most people is to use both. Get your main protein doses from food and, if you use powder, a complete source like whey or a soy or pea blend. Add a scoop of bone broth protein on top if you like it in coffee or soup. If you are not sure how much protein you need in the first place, our [protein needs guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/how-much-protein-do-i-need/) walks through the numbers by body weight and goal.

## 7. Testing, Sourcing Claims and What Is Missing

Paleovalley says it tests every batch for more than 40 pesticides and herbicides, and retailers that carry the powder repeat that claim. That is a meaningful step for a product sold on the strength of grass-fed sourcing, because pasture-raised cattle can still be exposed to sprayed land nearby. We could not find a published certificate on the pages we checked, so if those results matter to you, ask the brand for the current batch report before you buy.

What the powder does not carry, as far as we could confirm, is a sport certification such as NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport. Those programs screen for banned substances and are mainly relevant to drug-tested athletes. Bone broth protein is an unlikely place for a stimulant or steroid contaminant to turn up, but if you compete under drug testing, the rule is simple: use only certified products and check the certifier's database.

Heavy metals are the other question people ask. Bones store minerals, including small amounts of lead, so broth products are reasonable to test for metals. We could not verify specific heavy metal figures for Paleovalley from a primary source, so we are not repeating claims made about it secondhand. A brand that runs pesticide panels will usually share metals data on request, and it is worth asking.

The grass-fed claims are the brand's own, and there is no third-party grass-fed certification shown on the listings we checked. That is common in the category. Paleovalley has built its whole business on sourcing and has every reason to protect that reputation, which counts for something, but buyers who want a certified claim should know it is self-reported. Our [protein powder safety guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/is-protein-powder-safe/) explains how to weigh testing claims across brands.

## 8. Who Should Skip It

Skip Paleovalley if your goal is muscle gain or you need a large protein dose from one shake. The small, collagen-heavy scoop is the wrong tool, and you will spend three to four times as much per gram as you would on a whey isolate. Our [whey protein isolate picks](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-whey-protein-isolate/) or a pea and rice blend will do far more for your training for far less money.

Skip it if you are on a tight budget. Even used once a day, the tub runs out in a month, and there are bone broth powders with bigger scoops for less. If you like the idea of beef protein but want better numbers, our [beef protein powder guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-beef-protein-powder/) compares hydrolyzed beef isolates that deliver more protein per scoop, though they are processed differently.

Skip the flavored versions if you are allergic to coconut, and check with a doctor before using any concentrated protein or broth powder if you have kidney disease, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are on a sodium-restricted diet. Broth naturally carries sodium and potassium, and both matter for some medical conditions. This review is not medical advice, and a registered dietitian can tell you how a product fits your situation.

Finally, skip it if you want a powder that dissolves instantly in cold water. Because it is a dried broth rather than an acid-hydrolyzed collagen, the brand itself notes it does not mix as completely as commercial collagen, and buyer feedback echoes that. It does best in warm liquids, blenders and recipes. If that sounds like a chore, a hydrolyzed collagen peptide powder is easier to live with.

## 9. How to Use It Well

The best use is the one the brand suggests: one scoop in 8 to 12 fl oz of a warm or cold drink. Coffee is the most popular choice in buyer reviews, and the Chocolate and Vanilla flavors are built for it, adding sweetness from monk fruit without sugar. Stir it into hot liquid rather than shaking it cold, and use a small frother or blender if you dislike any residue.

Unflavored is the most versatile tub because it works in savory food. Stir a scoop into soup, stew, sauce or a mug of hot water with salt and pepper, and it behaves like a concentrated broth. Buyers also add it to oatmeal and baked goods, where the brand describes the flavor as mild and slightly nutty. In baking, swap it for a small share of the flour rather than expecting it to behave like whey.

Pair it with a complete protein when you can. A coffee with a scoop of Paleovalley next to a breakfast of eggs or Greek yogurt is a sensible way to combine its collagen with the leucine that makes a meal count for muscle. Using it alongside food also means the small scoop is a top-up rather than the whole meal.

Keep the tub sealed and dry, because broth powder clumps in humid kitchens. Use a dry scoop every time and store the tub away from the kettle. If you buy on subscription to bring the price down, set the interval to match your real use. At one scoop a day, a 30-serving tub lasts exactly a month, which is useful for budgeting the real monthly cost.

## 10. Paleovalley vs Ancient Nutrition vs Naked Bone Broth

Ancient Nutrition is the brand most shoppers compare Paleovalley with. Its Bone Broth Protein Pure lists about 20 g of protein in roughly 90 calories per scoop, from a blend of chicken and grass-fed beef broth, per the label at the time of writing. That is 50 percent more protein per scoop, generally at a lower cost per 25 g. The trade-off is a blended source and a more processed concentrate, which some paleo buyers specifically avoid.

Naked Bone Broth is the minimalist rival. Naked Nutrition lists beef broth protein concentrate with a little sunflower lecithin, about 20 to 21 g of protein per two-scoop serving and European bone sourcing, per its listings. It is a good choice if you want an unflavored powder with a short label and more protein per serving, though buyer feedback on mixing is mixed.

Paleovalley wins on the specific sourcing and processing story: grass-fed and grass-finished beef only, simmered in water, no solvents, and organic flavor ingredients with monk fruit. It loses on protein per scoop and on price. Choose it if those sourcing details are your deciding factor; choose one of the rivals if you want more protein for less money from the same category.

For a full ranking, our [best bone broth protein powder guide](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-bone-broth-protein-powder/) scores five products on protein density, sourcing and cost. If you have decided broth is not the point and you simply want a clean label, the [clean protein powder picks](https://www.best-proteinpowder.com/best-clean-protein-powder/) cover whey and plant options with short ingredient lists and much better protein numbers.

## 11. Common Mistakes to Avoid

### Using it as your post-workout protein

Bone broth protein is mostly collagen, which is low in leucine and missing tryptophan. A scoop does far less for muscle repair than the same grams of whey, soy or a pea blend. Use Paleovalley as a top-up in coffee or soup, and get your training protein from a complete source.

### Comparing price per tub instead of per gram

A $55 tub sounds similar to a $55 tub of whey, but Paleovalley holds about 390 g of protein against roughly 1,500 g or more in a large whey tub. Always divide price by total grams of protein and multiply by 25 before deciding a product is good value.

### Shaking it into cold water

Because it is a water-simmered broth rather than an acid-hydrolyzed collagen, it does not dissolve as fully as collagen peptides, and the brand says as much. Stir it into warm liquid, use a frother or blend it. Cold shaker bottles are where most texture complaints in buyer reviews come from.

### Buying flavored when you cook savory

Chocolate and Vanilla are built for coffee and smoothies and contain monk fruit and coconut milk powder. If you plan to use the powder in soups, stews or sauces as well, buy Unflavored. One tub that works everywhere gets used up; a sweet tub often sits in the cupboard.

### Ignoring sodium and medical conditions

Broth carries natural sodium and potassium, and a concentrated protein adds to your daily total. That is fine for most people, but anyone with kidney disease, a sodium-restricted diet or a pregnancy should check with a doctor or registered dietitian before making any broth or protein powder a daily habit.

## 12. Frequently Asked Questions

### Is Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein good?

It is a good bone broth powder and a poor general protein powder. The label is short, the beef bones are grass-fed and grass-finished per the brand, and the flavored versions use only monk fruit to sweeten. But at about 13 g of collagen-heavy protein per scoop and over $3 per 25 g of protein, it is best used as an add-in rather than a main shake.

### How much protein is in Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein?

About 13 g per scoop, per the brand's Amazon listings and retailer copies of the label at the time of writing. Some older third-party listings show up to 15 g for Unflavored. The Chocolate label lists about 80 calories per scoop. Check the tub you buy, because figures vary slightly by flavor and the brand updates recipes.

### Is Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein the same as collagen?

Not exactly. It is a dried beef bone broth, so most of its protein is collagen, but it is made by simmering bones in water rather than hydrolyzing hides into collagen peptides. That gives it a more broth-like character and explains why it dissolves less completely. Nutritionally, treat it like collagen: rich in glycine and proline, low in leucine.

### Can I use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein to build muscle?

It counts toward your daily protein, but it is a weak choice for building muscle on its own. Collagen lacks tryptophan and is low in leucine, the amino acid that triggers muscle protein synthesis. If muscle is your goal, use whey, soy or a pea and rice blend for your main doses, and add Paleovalley on top if you enjoy it.

### What does Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein taste like?

Buyers describe Unflavored as mild and slightly savory, and the brand calls it slightly nutty in baking. Chocolate and Vanilla are sweetened with monk fruit and built for coffee, where buyers say they work best. We have not tasted it ourselves, so take flavor notes as buyer feedback. Mixing into warm liquid is the most common recommendation.

### Is Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein third-party tested?

Paleovalley says it tests every batch for more than 40 pesticides and herbicides. We could not confirm a sport certification such as NSF Certified for Sport or Informed Sport, and we did not find published heavy-metal figures on the pages we checked. Drug-tested athletes should choose a certified product, and anyone else can ask the brand for its latest batch report.

### Where can I buy Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein?

It is sold on Paleovalley's own site, through wellness retailers and on Amazon, where Unflavored, Chocolate, Vanilla, Salted Caramel and Pumpkin Spice have been listed at the time of writing. Prices vary with subscriptions and promotions, so compare the cost per scoop across sellers and make sure an Amazon listing is sold or fulfilled by a reputable seller.

## The Bottom Line

Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein is a well-sourced, short-label broth powder made from grass-fed beef bones, with flavored versions sweetened only by monk fruit. It is also a small scoop, about 13 g of mostly collagen protein, at one of the highest costs per 25 g of protein in the category.

Buy the Unflavored tub if you want a clean collagen and broth booster for coffee, soup and cooking, and you value the sourcing enough to pay for it. If you want more protein per scoop, Ancient Nutrition or Naked Bone Broth deliver it for less, and if your goal is muscle, a complete protein such as whey will do more for a fraction of the price.
