Egg whites are mostly albumin. This protein supplies a complete amino acid profile with high biological value. The powder is virtually fat-free and carbohydrate-free. The leucine it provides helps trigger muscle protein synthesis after resistance exercise. Egg albumin digests more slowly than whey, delivering amino acids over a longer period.
After exercise, many mix the powder with water or milk to support recovery. It offers a dairy-free protein source, making it a practical choice for those who avoid milk products. Some people use it between meals to help manage appetite or as a meal replacement.
Egg white proteins are among the most common food allergens. Do not use this supplement if you have an egg allergy. Raw egg whites contain avidin, which can bind biotin, but commercial processing heats the product to inactivate avidin. Anyone with kidney concerns should speak to a doctor before adding a concentrated protein supplement.
