Egg whites have a single function within the egg –to protect the yolk, which is the primary food source of a developing embryo, from damage. They consist of 15% protein, an insignificant amount of fat, and the rest is water. Its 15% protein content comes in 40 different types, including, among others, ovalbumin, ovotransferrin, ovomucoid, and ovomucin. This, along with their high biological value, makes egg whites an excellent source of protein.
Jay Robb Enterprises offers its Egg White Protein Powder that are sourced exclusively from the eggs of hormone-free chicken as an alternative protein supplement to persons who are sensitive to those coming from dairy. Each serving includes 24 g of protein, which is roughly half of the requirements of a 2,000-calorie diet. It also contains all the essential amino acids, as well as the branch chain amino acids isoleucine, leucine, and valine.
Other ingredients apart from egg whites are xylitol, stevia, xanthan gum, natural flavors, and lecithin. It does not, however, contain monosodium glutamate or MSG, aspartame, sucralose, and artificial flavors or sweeteners.
Jay Robb Egg White Protein Powder contains zero fat and zero cholesterol. Its calorie rating is a low 120, while its carbohydrate content is also a low 4 g. Sodium and potassium are 380 mg and 370 mg respectively, while calcium is 30 mg. The vitamins riboflavin and biotin are added, as well as the minerals iodine and magnesium although in minimal amounts.
Athletes engaged in intensive trainings, those trying to bulk up their muscles, and regular exercisers who work out only to keep fit can use the supplement to build and repair muscle tissues damaged and torn during exercise. Those on a diet can also benefit from the supplement ensuring that they get the required protein even if they are restricting their food intake.
The protein powder dissolves quickly in water, milk, or juice. It can also be mixed with yogurt to make it even more healthful. It is available in chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry flavors. There is also an unflavored version, which is ideal for mixing with flavored drinks or food.
