New Whey Liquid Protein
Yes, it is primarily collagen protein with SOME whey protein added in, but it does not have all the amino acids necessary to absorb the protein. They also are slimy and taste nasty, LOL.
There is one brand, though, called YES WHEY that is 100% whey protein. As far as I know, it is only available online. It doesn't have the slimy texture of the collagen protein, and you can absorb all of it. Be warned, though, it is VERY sweet (all three flavors)!

You don't drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.
This is a really great idea. Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, it's mostly collagen, which is the same thing gelatin (like Jello) is made from. It doesn't have all the amino acids, which makes it a very poor source of protein.
