Are Fiteg² products suitable for vegans or vegetarians?

Fiteg² products are suitable for ovo-vegetarians. They are low in calories, fat, and gluten-free, making them great dairy-free options. However, they are not suitable for vegans due to the use of egg-based ingredients.

Egg white protein

Why is egg protein better than other protein sources?

Egg protein, particularly from egg whites, is a superior source of complete protein because it contains all essential amino acids your body needs for muscle repair, growth, and overall health. Compared to other proteins, egg white protein is highly bioavailable, meaning it’s easily absorbed and utilized by the body. It’s also low in calories and fat, making it an ideal choice for those seeking a lean protein source.

Additionally, egg white protein is free from dairy and gluten, making it a great option for individuals with dietary restrictions.

What is egg white albumin, and why is it beneficial?

Egg white albumin refers to the specific proteins found in egg whites, with ovalbumin being the most abundant. These proteins are key to the many health benefits of egg whites, including muscle building, tissue repair, and immune support. In nutritional supplements, "egg white albumin" is a concentrated protein extract, often used in protein powders due to its high purity and effectiveness as a complete protein source.

Its concentrated form ensures optimal protein intake for those seeking to enhance muscle recovery and overall nutrition.

What is the best time to take egg white protein?

You can take egg white protein at any time of day, but it's especially beneficial post-workout for muscle recovery. It’s also a great addition to your morning smoothie or as a midday snack for a steady protein boost.

How much protein powder should I consume per day?

The amount of protein powder you should consume per day depends on your individual protein needs, which vary based on factors like age, weight, activity level, and fitness goals. A common recommendation for active individuals is about 1.2 to 2.0 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. It's best to spread your protein intake throughout the day, and protein powder can be used to help meet these needs.

However, it's important not to rely solely on supplements and to consult with a healthcare professional or nutritionist to determine the right amount for you.

Collagen & vitamin C

Why it is better to use vitamin C for collagen and protein?

It is recommended to take collagen and protein together with vitamin C, because without vitamin C, the body is physically unable to synthesize new, stable collagen.

Cofactor in collagen synthesis: Vitamin C activates the enzymes (prolyl hydroxylase and lysyl hydroxylase) needed to convert and link amino acids into a stable collagen triple helix. If vitamin C is deficient, the consumed amino acids cannot fully integrate into new tissues.

Regeneration of connective tissues and joints: In order for skin, tendons, cartilage, and bones to form effectively from ingested protein or collagen peptides, cells (fibroblasts) require the presence of vitamin C at the time of synthesis.

Protection against collagen degradation: Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals and helps protect both newly formed and existing collagen fibers from oxidative stress and UV radiation damage.

How long does it take to see results from collagen supplements?

For optimal results it is advised to take at least 2 or 3-month long courses of collagen intake. However, you can start to feel some results after the first week.

How much collagen should I take daily?

Research suggests that the recommended daily dose of egg membrane collagen is significantly lower than other types of collagens, typically around 500 mg, with noticeable results often seen within 5-7 days. Always follow the dosage instructions provided on the product packaging and consult with a healthcare professional if needed.

Is egg membrane collagen safe for everyone to take?

Collagen from eggshell membranes is generally safe for most people, as it’s a natural source of collagen. However, if you have an egg allergy or dietary restrictions, it's important to avoid supplements with egg membrane collagen. Always consult a healthcare professional before taking any new supplements, especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any health concerns.
