Article Effects of Egg White Protein Supplementation on Muscle Strength and Serum Free Amino Acid Concentrations Slamat

x Egg protein is made from egg white. It's fat-free, very high in protein, and is considered a perfect source for protein because of it's complete makeup of essential amino acids, branch chain amino acids, and glutamic acid. Once egg protein is in your system, it is completely absorbed by your body. When other proteins are measured for quality and effectiveness, egg protein is at the top of the list and is the standard for measurement. Before egg protein powder though, bodybuilders had to hard-boil dozens of eggs or actually separate the egg white from the runny yolk from an egg to extract egg protein. If you have egg allergies, you should not take any powder containing egg protein. If you do not, then egg protein should produce no negative side effects. Our findings indicated that compared to the carbohydrate supplement, the protein supplement was associated with some changes in protein metabolites but not with changes in body composition or muscle strength. Protein intake is an important component of body building, and together with additional supplements (i.e., creatine and amino acids), is highly recommended for regular strength training. The quality of protein, it is well accepted that whey, casein, milk products and soy are dietary protein sources that are available to help increase fat free mass (FFM) or muscle strength performance. However, no detailed information on the effect of egg white protein intake is available, even though eggs are one of the cheapest animal protein sources in Japan, with the highest nutritional content [11]. Fifteen grams of egg white protein contain 1341 mg of leucine (Leu), 837 mg of isoleucine (Ile), and 1096 mg of valine (Val), and there is also an abundant source of branched amino acids (BCAA) and aromatic amino acids (AAA). Protein supplements consisted of 15.0 g of dried egg white protein (75.0 kcal energy) and carbohydrate supplements consisted of 17.5 g of maltodextrin (78.0 kcal energy), with chocolate flavor included as the only additive

Your body uses protein as energy for its cells, and it also uses it to build muscle. However, your body is limited in the amount of energy and muscle it can store from protein. If you take in more protein than your body actually needs which is easy to do with protein powder your body wont use it to build muscle or store it for later use. Extra protein converts into fat, and your body stores it that way as excess pounds. The body's fat storage capacity is limitless.

Taking too much of a protein powder supplement can increase your risk of dehydration. When your body metabolizes protein, it uses extra water to properly use and eliminate protein byproducts. If youre using protein powder to enhance muscle gains through exercise, youre at an even greater risk of dehydration because exercise induces excess fluid loss through perspiration. Signs and symptoms of dehydration are fatigue, headache, lightheadedness, decreased urine output, dry mouth and excessive thirst. When your body metabolizes proteins, your kidneys are responsible for excreting proteins waste products, urea, uric acid and ammonia. When your body produces a large amount of urea, your kidneys may become overwhelmed by their filtering task and begin failing, according to the American Association of Kidney Patients. You are at an especially high risk of reduced kidney function if you have an underlying kidney problem, because your kidneys may already have trouble eliminating proteins waste products.

Your body produces acid when you consume large amounts of protein. To buffer the higher acid load in your body, your bone releases calcium, and the calcium and acid are excreted together through your urine. Chronic loss of calcium in your urine can weaken your bones and may increase your risk of osteoporosis as you age. You are at an even higher risk of osteoporosis if you are a woman. If youre still interested in trying a protein powder supplement or following a high-protein diet, consult your doctor in advance to ensure that you dont have an underlying health problem that could be worsened by supplementation. Once youre given the thumbs up, find a protein supplement that contains all nine of your bodys needed essential amino acids. Most powders have about 20 to 24 grams of protein per scoop, and the average adult only needs

about 46 to 56 grams of protein per day. As a point of reference, one 3-ounce piece of meat contains about 21 grams of protein, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Berkesan x Egg protein is the efficient, superior quality protein with a PER (Protein Efficency Ratio) at 3.8. It has one of the highest P.E.Rs of any other source. This is important to your body, because the higher the P.E.R, the better your body can make use of the protein. Egg protein also has a high absorption rate of 1.5-3 hours. With it's surfur-containing amino acids, your body receives a critical boost to your hormone-producing pathways. To prove egg protein's benefits, Ball State University performed a study that tried to prevent the overtraining of 17 bodybuilders by supplementing daily protein powder rich with amino acid. For four weeks the subjects conducted the training program, where they lifted more than usual. After two weeks on the program, half of the men took an egg protein supplement, while other took a placebo. The individuals given egg protein had more than measurable positive reactions in total testosterone and hemoglobin compared to those given a placebo. The study showed that taking approximately .88 grams of protein per pound of body weight helped to prevent the symptoms overtraining and reduce the effects of catabolism. Effects whey protein has on performance: 1. Builds muscle and mass 2. Improves recovery time after workouts 3. Positively affects your overall fitness and bodybuilding efforts

Biological value, or BV, is the measure of the efficiency of a protein and how it can be absorbed and used by the body for growth -- higher the number, the higher the efficiency. Egg protein sets the standard with a BV of 100 and is assumed to be the most readily utilized protein. Everybody should consume egg protein, regardless whether they are physically active or not. Egg protein is good for the daily operations of your body.

While egg protein is good for everybody, there are additional benefits for those that exercises or lift weights on a regular basis. Due to it's ability to make you recover faster from workouts, you should be able to have much harder and intense workout routines without the downtime in between.
