I got a $50 gift certificate for Egg Whites International. They make and egg white Protein drink. Has anyone ever used their product before? What did you think of it?

Hey, I don't have any knowledge specifically about Egg Whites International, but...
I did look at egg/egg white based protein powders a while back & decided not to use them due to their relatively high sodium content.
I took a look at the nutrition info for Egg Whites International's liquid egg whites product & it contains 200mg sodium per 13g of protein. If you consume 192g of protein daily via shakes (just using my numbers) you'd be at 2954mg of sodium just in shakes.
I've found that if I intake too much sodium it tends to aggravate my arthritis so maybe this won't apply to you, just thought I'd mention it.

Thanks, I didn’t even think to look at that. I don’t have a problem with arthritis but High blood pressure is a concern for me and sodium will affect that for sure.

The other problem is the expense; I figured it would cost me about $100 if I used it as recommended.
