Egg supplements come from egg whites (egg white powder) or eggshell membrane. Egg white powder concentrates protein. Eggshell membrane supplies collagen and glucosamine.
Athletes use egg white powder to promote muscle protein synthesis and speed workout recovery. Some people turn to eggshell membrane for joint health, though the evidence is still growing.
Mix egg white powder with water or milk and drink it as a shake after workouts or as a protein top-up. Product labels give specific dosage, since amounts differ. Eggshell membrane comes in capsule form.
Anyone with an egg allergy must steer clear of egg supplements. A high protein intake can be a problem for people with kidney issues. Check with a doctor before adding any supplement.
