Hi Rachel. I included collagen peptides in the next post, this one was getting long! But in short, there are some good reasons for taking collagen but it probably doesn't contribute to your protein needs in a meaningful way. More soon!

So timely! I ran out of my current protein powder last night, and now I'm going to wait to hear the recommendations in the next edition! I had never considered how processed they were and am interested to learn about other brands that might be a better fit for me now that I'm more focused on brain health.

Thank you for starting the deep dive into protein powders! I’ve been using “Isopure Whey Protein Powder” and the info today was super helpful (I.e. third party testing).

Hi Annie,

Thanks so much for this introductory newsletter on protein powders. I look forward to hearing more from you about these, as I've spent a few years exploring protein powders in search of healthy ones and find it valuable to incorporate them into a brain-healthy diet with adequate protein intake.
