/How does dry eggs taking 100mg a day ( eating of whatever you do) as an amino acid source compare to Moringa oleifera ( leaves).
According the the AI tools this is what it looks like.
| Essential Amino Acid | Amount in Egg Powder (g/100g) | Amount in Moringa Leaves (g/100g) | Note on Each EAA |
|---|---|---|---|
| Histidine | 0.5 – 0.8 | 1.1 | Important for growth and repair of tissues, and the production of red and white blood cells. |
| Isoleucine | 1.0 – 1.5 | 1.32 | Plays a role in muscle metabolism and is heavily concentrated in muscle tissue. |
| Leucine | 1.5 – 2.0 | 2.97 | Crucial for protein synthesis and muscle repair, as well as regulating blood sugar levels. |
| Lysine | 1.2 – 1.8 | 1.32 | Necessary for growth, tissue repair, and the production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies. |
| Methionine | 0.6 – 1.0 | 0.35 | Acts as an antioxidant and is important for metabolism and detoxification. |
| Phenylalanine | 1.0 – 1.4 | 2.12 | Precursor to neurotransmitters such as dopamine and norepinephrine; important for brain function. |
| Threonine | 0.8 – 1.2 | 1.19 | Important for protein balance within the body, and supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and immune system function. |
| Tryptophan | 0.2 – 0.3 | 0.43 | Used by the body to produce serotonin, which has roles in sleep, appetite, and mood regulation. |
| Valine | 1.0 – 1.5 | 1.32 | Stimulates muscle growth and regeneration and is involved in energy production. |
Please note that Eggs has a known DIAAS score.
I cannot yet find one for Moringa.
The Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) is a method used to evaluate the protein quality of foods, based on the digestibility of essential amino acids. It represents an advancement over the older Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score (PDCAAS) by considering the individual amino acid digestibility at the end of the small intestine (the ileum), which provides a more accurate measure of the protein’s nutritional quality.
