Eat as a primary protein source for breakfast or in post-workout meals to repair muscle fibers and support hormone production.
Preparation & Usage Steps
- Egg proteins (ovalbumin and conalbumin) are denatured by gastric acids, uncoiling their structures.
- Pepsin breaks the amino chains into smaller peptides, which enter the duodenum.
- Pancreatic enzymes hydrolyze peptides into individual amino acids and small di/tri-peptides.
- Nutrients are absorbed via active transport in the microvilli, fueling systemic repair and hormone synthesis.

Preparation Tips
- A breakfast of 3 soft-boiled pasture-raised eggs provides 750mg of choline, optimizing neurotransmitter synthesis for focus and reaction time.
- Consuming whole eggs leads to 40% greater muscle protein synthesis post-workout than consuming equivalent protein from whites alone.
Synergistic Foods & Bio-boosts
