Synopsis

Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 4

Eggs are a rich source of high-quality protein, containing all essential amino acids required for muscle protein synthesis and maintenance. Scientific studies have shown that dietary protein is crucial for supporting muscle mass and function, particularly in individuals with muscle tone loss (hypotonia) due to aging, illness, or inactivity. Eggs also provide important nutrients such as vitamin D, B vitamins, and choline, which support neuromuscular function and overall muscle health. Clinical research has demonstrated that consuming eggs after resistance exercise increases muscle protein synthesis rates, aiding in muscle repair and growth. In elderly populations, higher dietary protein intake, including sources like eggs, is associated with improved muscle strength and reduced risk of sarcopenia (muscle wasting). While eggs alone are not a treatment for underlying neuromuscular disorders that cause muscle tone loss, their inclusion in the diet is a scientifically validated strategy to support and preserve muscle tone, especially when combined with physical activity. Therefore, the use of eggs to support muscle tone is supported by substantial scientific evidence.
