Egg proteins

Egg proteins are one of the purest and most effective sources of protein you can include in your diet. They are rich in essential amino acids that the body needs for various functions, including tissue growth and repair. Egg proteins are also an excellent source of vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps the body break down food into energy.

Nutritionally, egg proteins are very advantageous. They have a high biological value, meaning the body can easily utilize them for building and repairing muscles. This is why egg proteins are so popular among athletes and people trying to increase their muscle mass. Additionally, egg proteins are low in calories and fat, making them an ideal choice for those looking to lose weight or maintain a healthy body weight.

Good evening,
I would like to ask by what mechanism egg proteins might support thyroid dysfunction.
Thank you very much for your response.

This relationship is not clearly proven and is debated in the context not only of other nutritional influences (reduction diets, iodine intake fluctuations, etc.) but also increased environmental radiation, stress, lack of physical activity... In the case of the isolated factor of long-term increased consumption of eggs/egg proteins, there is a particular emphasis on xenobiotics that have appeared in eggs from industrial farms in recent decades.

Good day, Mr. Jelínek,

I am interested in knowing what level of egg consumption is considered excessive. Is there any general recommendation for how many eggs per week are still considered within the norm?

Thank you in advance for your reply.

There is no consensus that can be supported by scientific evidence. However, it appears that the consumption of up to 3 whole eggs per day is completely safe for healthy individuals and has no negative impact on their health. Typically, the literature recommends 6 eggs per week for women and 9 eggs per week for men.
