Started lifting again after an extremely long hiatus a few weeks ago. Did the typical uneducated consumer thing and bought the first thing I saw on the shelf and have learned that I probably overpaid for unnecessary shit. I'm about out of that stuff now and will be looking for a new protein that I could use long term. I like to find good brands and stick with them especially for consistency sake since I'm just starting out.

I'd prefer 100% whey concentrate but it seems like everything is a concentrate/isolate blend. Not a deal breaker but it seems like the most logical option. I'm open to feedback about that point if I'm mistaken.

Another nice option would be something I could take daily. Most days I can get close to my 0.8/1 gram per lb goal but there are days where I fall short and it would be nice to have something that's not jacked with whatever post workout bullshit they cram into this stuff (creatine etc.). The powder I have currently has added amino acids and "green blend digestive something or another" that I don't feel like I need any extra of so I'm really only consuming it post workout.

Any input is appreciated.

Probably, whey is plant based protein, collagen is animal protein, you need to take less and your body absorbs it better, if you just want gains though, you're probably fine with whey.

I've been using it for a couple months, did wonders for my joints.

I don't want to "umm ackshully" you but whey comes from milk. Any reputable company is going to list plant protein ingredients on the label.

TIL.

That's what it's all about brother. I'm learning every day.
