Why do our stix have only 5 grams of protein?

The findings from third-party research studies have found that the bioavailability of hydrolyzed collagen in smaller periodic doses is actually a much more efficient way to consume protein as opposed to larger portions of protein in one sitting. This allows your body to absorb the protein it needs and utilize it in an optimal way. Our stix allow you to spread your protein out throughout the day and in conjunction with your whole food protein sources.

How Do You Use Buddy State Liquid Collagen Shots?

Just rip & sip! Yes, it is that easy. No need to mix with liquid, no clump powder, just a refreshing shot that you can take on-the-go.

How Often Should I Drink Buddy State Collagen Stix?

We suggest drinking 2-4 Buddy State Liquid Collagen Protein Stix throughout the day depending on your protein needs.
