    I thought those bottled egg whites ready to drink had a higher bio availability than that becuase they were pasteurized....am i mistaken?

    I have never used them i just cook them in an omlette myself

    I know eggwhitesinc has this little pump like a lotion bottle to get the whites out of the gallon tub..so 10 egg whites isnt bad when you can safely chug it

    pasteurization activates the enzyme in eggs that increases bioavailibility, so the bottled egg whites are more bioactive than raw(when we say raw we mean unpasteurized right now of the shell)
