- Are you looking for explosive muscle growth? Are you searching for a nutritional edge that will take you to the next level? Chances are that the answer you have been looking for is sitting right in your refrigerator. Eggs have long been the “Gold Standard” for bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts alike
- 100% egg protein is an excellent source of muscle building protein and amino acids. In fact, when rating all proteins by biological value the egg scores a perfect 100%. The perfect marks are because the body absorbs all of the protein from the egg and it is lactose free. Essential sulfur-containing amino acids also contribute to the biological value
- Whether you want to slim down or bulk up 100% egg protein can help you get there. Egg protein can be ingested several different ways. If you want to reap the benefits of the protein without all the fat, calories and cholesterol then drinking a good egg protein shake or consuming straight egg whites will be your methods of choice
- If you want to pack on some weight then ingesting the whole egg will give you the extra calories and fat you are looking for in your diet. By consuming the entire egg you will get higher doses of the amino acids alanine, artinine, glycine, and methane which play important roles in the muscle building process

- Casein protein (pronounced kay-seen) is the main protein found in milk. Casein makes up approximately 80% of the protein in cow’s milk while the remaining 20% comes from whey
- Proper casein protein ingestion can produce protein weight loss by reducing your appetite and giving you that feeling of being full
- As opposed to rapid protein absorption like its whey counterpart, 100% casein protein is absorbed by the body over a number of hours by forming a gel in the stomach. Whey protein is absorbed into the system in as little as 40 minutes. This slow release helps the body to maintain muscle, which helps the body lose weight
