NOW Foods Egg White Protein Creamy Vanilla Powder (680 grams) is a protein powder made from pasteurised chicken egg whites with a smooth, creamy vanilla flavour. Each level scoop of 28 g provides you with 20 g of protein, with 4 g carbohydrates and 100 kcal. As a complete protein, the powder supplies all nine essential amino acids, including typically per serving 1,839 mg leucine, 1,379 mg lysine, 1,354 mg valine and 1,208 mg isoleucine. On top of this, the powder is enriched with an extra 258 mg BCAAs in the form of leucine, isoleucine and valine, and naturally contains non-essential amino acids such as glutamic acid, aspartic acid and serine. Simply mix one scoop into about 240 ml cold water, milk or another drink of your choice, using a spoon, shaker or blender. One jar contains approximately 24 servings.
Egg White Protein is a protein powder made from the whites of chicken eggs. The protein is first pasteurised and then dried into a fine powder that you can mix into a drink.
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Every protein consists of a long chain of amino acids that are linked together in a specific order. There are twenty different amino acids found in proteins, of which nine are essential.
Essential amino acids are the nine amino acids you need to get from your diet: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan and valine. All nine are present in this protein powder.
A complete protein contains all nine essential amino acids. Chicken egg white is a well-known example of this, as are meat, fish and dairy. Many plant-based protein sources contain one or more of these amino acids in lower amounts.
BCAA stands for branched-chain amino acids. These are leucine, isoleucine and valine, named after their branched chemical structure. In addition to the BCAAs naturally present in chicken egg white, this powder contains an extra 258 mg BCAAs per serving.
During pasteurisation, the egg white is briefly heated. This, among other things, deactivates avidin, a protein that naturally occurs in raw chicken egg white.
Avidin is a protein in raw chicken egg white that can bind to biotin. Heating causes avidin to lose this property. That is why there is no need to add biotin to this protein powder.
