Synopsis

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

Egg white protein is scientifically validated as a high-quality protein source to support muscle tone, especially in cases of muscle weakness or lack of muscle mass. Egg whites contain a complete amino acid profile, including all essential amino acids necessary for muscle protein synthesis, making them a benchmark protein in nutrition research. Numerous studies have shown that adequate intake of high-quality protein, including egg white protein, supports muscle repair, growth, and maintenance, particularly when combined with resistance exercise. While whey and casein proteins are more commonly studied, egg white protein has demonstrated similar efficacy in stimulating muscle protein synthesis due to its high bioavailability and leucine content. The use of egg white protein is not based on tradition but is grounded in biochemical understanding and clinical nutrition studies. There is robust evidence from randomized controlled trials and sports nutrition literature that supplementation with egg white protein can help individuals with inadequate dietary protein, older adults experiencing sarcopenia, or those recovering from illness or injury to improve or maintain muscle tone. However, it should be noted that egg white protein is not a treatment for underlying neuromuscular disorders but rather a nutritional strategy to support muscle health.
