What is up with this crap, I bought a MetRX bar the other day and read the main ingredient was hydrolzed collagen so i searched around and found that it was acid treated cartlidge, bones and ****? Price per gram added up to around $45/ lb for what seems to me to be slaughterhouse leftovers scraped off the friggin floor and sold for premium price in a fancy wrapper. Needless to say i was a bit offended. Didnt seem worth eating so i tossed it in the trash. Is it just me or is this really a viable source of muscle building protien or should we boycott this crap as the ripoff that it appears to be?

You buy supplements at your own risk. Should've done your research. And yes, collagen is useless as a protein source.

From what i've read here, it's mostly useless. Look at the labels on the bars and make sure the main ingredient is whey or casein protein.
