I haven't heard about albumen powder being used for improving muscle. Albumen is a kind of protein and sometimes egg whites are being used instead of Albumin powder. In the hospital we use it as a Plasma expander for those that has Edema. It is a protein and sometimes we give it to them via feeding or orally. It pulls water from the interstitial fluid of the body to intravascular space. Honestly noodle boy, I don't know if it can be use to improve muscle, maybe because it is a protein.
