I am attempting to try once my mum gets a whole new carton of fresh eggs from the market. So any advice pertaining this?

maybe it's because eggs have a lot of protein? i honestly wouldnt do it, but its your choice. this reminds me of a movie where a guy cracks like 4 eggs into a glass and drinks it all in one gulp. good luck though.

might be the movie rocky

But just thinking of it makes me wanna puke. I would still give it a try though :/
Just waiting for more advice regarding this.

The egg yolk itself is full of vitamins but you should drink the clear bit aswell becaused that is where the protein is, just wisk it up and add a little sugar and milk and it won't tatse that bad.

yea eggs have a great source of protein

Eat the whole egg -- it will have more protein.

Eating egg yolks verse egg yolk protein are two entirely different things.

Egg yolk protein as used in the clinical study showing a 25% or so increase in longitudinal growth verse anyother source of protein, is a HIGHLY REFINED, SUPER-CONCENTRATED form of egg yolk proteins. One tablespoon of egg yolk protein could be the equivalent to 10 egg yolks, its not feasbile nor realistic to eat egg yolks in place of a highly concentrated extraction of the active constituents of egg yolk. Your just wasting your time.

Egg yolk protein doesnt just contain amino acids, egg yolk contains all sorts of growth factors and peptide compounds that are necessary to the proper development of the embryo. The egg yolk is the starting point of life, and thus it must be a very special mixture of components to support that optimal development.

The study INJECTED these components which would make many of these growth factors active whereas when ingested orally they likely have very poor bioavability. The point of the study was to demonstrate that of all the protein types that can be used in a nutritional support supplement for growing children, egg yolk protein offers a distinct advantage over the rest.

It does NOT mean that eating egg yolk protein would cause a 25% increase in the rate of longitudinal growth, at all. It may just be a 1% rise. But thats 1% greater rise verse other sources of protein showed, hence the purpose of the study, to define what is the BEST protein source for growing children.
