The Claim

High-bioavailability dietary protein from eggs promotes positive nitrogen balance by minimizing urinary nitrogen excretion and maximizing tissue incorporation.

In plain English

Eggs have a special kind of protein that helps your body keep more nitrogen instead of losing it in urine, which helps your muscles and tissues grow better.

See the scientific wording

High-bioavailability dietary protein from eggs promotes positive nitrogen balance by minimizing urinary nitrogen excretion and maximizing tissue incorporation.

What the research says

1 study
  1. Study: Human protein requirements: a long-term metabolic nitrogen balance study in young men to evaulate the 1973 FAO/WHO safe level of egg protein intake.

    The study found that eating too few eggs made people lose muscle and nitrogen, not gain it — so it actually contradicts the claim that eggs help keep your body in positive balance.
