Egg White Protein Powder vs Whey Isolate for Dairy Free Athletes

One last question: how is the absorption rate of egg white protein? Is it considered a fast, medium, or slow-digesting protein? This matters for timing around workouts.

@LondonLifter, egg white protein is generally considered a medium-digesting protein. It is not as fast as whey, but not as slow as casein. This makes it quite versatile; good for post-workout, but also suitable for a sustained release of amino acids throughout the day or before bed.

ClearSkinSteve, based on everything discussed, it really sounds like egg white protein powder would be an excellent choice for you. It addresses your dairy-free need, is great for muscle building, and should be much kinder to your skin. Good luck with the switch!

@MidwestMike, that is a great final recommendation. This has been a really informative discussion on dairy-free protein options. Thank you to everyone who contributed such helpful insights.
