THE REMBRANDT EGGThe egg remains one of nature's most nutrient-dense foods. It is packed with a host of vitamins and minerals in addition to high-quality protein. All this goodness supports sports performance, cognition, cardio-metabolic health, weight management and more. Rembrandt Foods has discovered egg-based solutions that go beyond a tasty meal. We’ve found new ways of utilizing the egg to optimize it’s functionality and even isolate the protein found in egg whites. We are unlocking the magic of the egg in new ways – the possibilities are endless.
EGGS IN SPORTS NUTRITIONBalanced protein consumption continues to trend globally. Athletes and exercise enthusiasts are reaching for fortified snack bars and beverages to boost protein intake between meals. This is because high-quality proteins, such as that found in eggs, allow for rapid recovery post-exercise and provide BCASSs necessary for muscle synthesis. Rembrandt even offers a unique, patent-pending egg white isolate that makes it easy for athletes to consume an adequate amount of protein. [email protected]
HIGH QUALITY PROTEINEggs are known as the gold standard for measuring protein quality. They contain 6 grams of protein with only 70 calories. Foods with high-quality protein aid in hunger management and have proven to decrease overall food intake up to 45%. Eggs are known for having a high Biological Value (BV), Protein Efficiency Ratio (PER), Net Protein Utilization (NPU), and Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) which out-ranks beef, chicken, and soy.
COMPLETE AMINO ACID PROFILE
Eggs provide all 9 essential amino acids (EAA) as well as 9 non-essential amino acids. EAAs are necessary for muscle growth and maintenance. Eggs provide more EAA (as a percentage of protein) than any other animal protein.
EGG YOLKEgg yolks are a major source of vitamins, minerals, and fat. Egg yolk contains fat-soluble vitamin D and is naturally high in choline. Most Americans do not get enough choline, which promotes normal cell activity, liver function and the transportation of nutrients throughout the body. Yolk contributes to fetal brain development and can even help prevent birth defects.
EGG ALBUMENEgg albumen is high in protein while also extremely low in fat. This makes it ideal for use in sports nutrition to aid in lean muscle development and weight maintenance. Albumen is also a rich source of riboflavin, which helps the body turn food into fuel.
EGG PROTEIN ABSORPTIONEggs have a slower absorption rate compared to other popular proteins. Slower-absorbed proteins allows for better protein anabolism, an optimal approach for lean muscle growth. Slowly absorbed amino acids, such as those found in egg protein, promote leucine balance, better than fast-absorbing proteins or amino acids alone. This is ideal after exercising or training.
