Maybe, maybe not. It would depend on a variety of factors including the activities you do, your age, etc. Maybe athletes need more collagen compared to people who don’t exercise, etc, etc.

Also complete protein sources are definitely not easy to get. Good luck if you have dietary constraints.

Notably, whey is a complete protein source and very easy to get, while collagen is a crappy source.

Quinoa is a complete protein, containing all amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own, and is gluten free.
