This type of protein is ideal for all athletes who want to maintain an important protein and amino acid intake, without using sources of milk and derivatives that contain lactose. Hydrolyzed into powder, these proteins are practical and light, do not provide much fat and, compared to vegetable sources, have a better balance of essential amino acids.
Another feature that makes egg proteins a valid alternative to Whey Protein are the average digestion times, the release of amino acids is in fact intermediate, slower than whey and faster than Casein, and the power to satiate and regulating your appetite is equally valid . Even the energy and caloric value of these proteins is in an intermediate position with respect to milk and its derivatives, the ratio between fats and proteins is also balanced by using above all egg albumin.
As for the supply of essential amino acids and Bcaa, egg proteins have nothing to envy to other sources, in fact we find a complete profile with Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine, important values of Glutamine , and higher, compared to Whey Arginine and Phenylalanine protein. The use of egg proteins is therefore certainly recommended to all athletes who have shown intolerances to lactose and therefore to milk and its derivatives, in this case it is advisable to use pure formulations that use only the proteins of the egg white of the egg, or formulations that combine this medium-release source with soy.
Furthermore, since it is a product that has a limited
concentration of fats, this product can also be integrated in the definition
phase, the supply of amino acids is in fact complete and, in case of specific
needs for intense workouts, it can be combined with this product a specific
formulation of amino acids in capsules.
With egg proteins, all the amino acids are integrated to support protein synthesis, an anabolic state is promoted for muscle growth, the production of testosterone and growth hormone is supported, the muscles are supplied with amino acids for tissue repair and accelerates glycogen resynthesis . As for the moment of integration, this protein fraction can be used in a very versatile way, it can in fact be integrated both in the morning and as an afternoon snack. As an alternative to other protein formulations, it can of course be integrated in the post-workout to support the recovery and growth of muscle mass.
Several leading companies in the supplement sector produce and distribute classic egg protein formulations with a very high protein concentration, then there are formulations that combine different blends that are widely used for protein preparations.
In the Nutrition Center protein catalog you will find a wide selection of the best egg proteins on the market, the products of the best brands and the innovative formulations of emerging companies.
