100% Egg Protein from Optimum Nutrition contains all the goodness of egg whites and mixes up instantly. Nutritionists commonly refer to eggs as the ‘gold standard’ for protein quality. Eggs contain all the eight essential amino acids (the type that your cannot make from other substances) and very high levels of total amino acids – especially important sulphur-containing aminos.
Eggs are often readily digested and absorbed. As a lactose-free protein source, eggs are often more tolerable to people who have trouble with dairy foods. For these and other reasons, eggs have been a staple of bodybuilders’ diet since the beginning of sport.
The biggest problems with using whole eggs for a major source of dietary protein are the accompanying ‘undesirables’ (cholesterol and saturated fat) and the inconvenience of trying to store and prepare them when out-and-about. Thanks to advances in egg processing, both of these limitations can be easily overcome.
Using specialized equipment and sophisticated processing techniques, the cholesterol-laden egg yolk can be separated from the virtually fat and cholesterol free egg white to yield a product that is nearly all protein. The liquid egg white protein is then spray-dried with an ‘instantizing’ agent to improve mixability and eliminate the need for refrigeration. The result is a protein powerhouse, the result is ON’s 100% Egg protein.
A single serving of Optimum’s 100% Egg Protein provides the protein equivalent of 7 egg whites (22g) and takes under 30 seconds to prepare.
Better yet, Optimum’s 100% Egg Protein contains only 100 calories, 2-3 grams total carbohydrates, and no sugar so it’s great for contest dieting and carbohydrate-controlled meal plans.
