Bottom line Legion Whey+ is a genuinely clean, grass-fed, Labdoor-tested isolate, and it is worth it if you specifically want a stevia-sweetened protein with verified purity.

Bottom line Live Conscious Beyond Collagen is a reasonable budget multi-collagen with a solid ~10g dose plus biotin and vitamin C, and it usually undercuts Vital Proteins on price per serving. It is a fine everyday pick, but it is not the cheapest option and the blend is mostly bovine despite the “5 types” label.
