Egg Protein Powder

About Egg Protein Powder

Egg White Protein Powder is made from egg albumen and is considered one of the highest quality protein sources available despite the advances in protein sourcing and processing over the past few decades. Egg White Protein is a robust source of the essential amino acids and is typically used as a reference point from which all other protein sources are compared in dietetics and nutrition medicine. Egg white protein has a biological value of 100, compared to beef at 80 and whole milk at 91, as reported in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, 2004.
 

Plain egg white protein powders can be added to flavoured whey protein shakes in small amounts to slow down the rate of digestion and absorption, thus creating a more sustained blood amino acid pattern. However, Egg White Protein is typically used for cooking low-fat omelettes and can be incorporated into your favourite recipes such as cakes and muffins.

Flavoured protein omelettes are an easy ready-to-go premix that can be whipped up and thrown in the pan for a simple macronutrient-controlled meal. The incorporation of egg protein into the diet can improve protein source variety, as many bodybuilders and sports enthusiasts often consume limited protein sources.

Egg white protein is a rich source of branched chain amino acids (BCAAs), ensuring that a decent serving size will trigger mTOR in muscle tissue. This then creates an anabolic follow through effect in muscle, creating new muscle tissue and repairing damage created through exercise. This is an important factor in exercise adaptation.
