Arginine and Collagen Powder

[zae]

I have a collagen powder that contains about 1,600mg of Arginine (1.6 Grams). Would this be the same as taking Arginine directly or is it completely different? This is for bone health btw.

The arginine in collagen powder is just one component among many amino acids, whereas an arginine supplement provides a more concentrated dose of arginine specifically. If your goal is to specifically target arginine intake for bone health, you might want to consider taking an arginine supplement separately.

It's completely the same. It's exactly the same thing. Also getting it from food would be more bioavailable.
