Vitamin E

Vitamin E, an important nutritional element of our diets, is an antioxidant our bodies need to help our immune systems and maintain normal metabolism. It helps prevent damage to our cells caused by pollutants.

Vitamin E can either be produced by the body or obtained from the food we eat.

Omega 3

Research shows that Omega 3 fatty acids are an important part of our diets. They play a role in cardiovascular health because they help sustain normal function and promote normal blood flow.

Omega 3 fatty acids are also important for proper development of the brain and eyes, such as the conversion of light energy that takes place in our eyes.

Research is also reporting that Omega 3 fatty acids help promote a healthy pregnancy.

Egg Innovations uses flax seed as a natural source of Omega 3.

Saturated fat

Saturated fat is believed to be the single most detrimental factor in raising blood cholesterol levels. Blood cholesterol is cholesterol produced within the body. Reducing one’s intake of saturated fat may be the most effective way to reduce blood cholesterol levels.

Egg Innovations’ eggs are relatively low in saturated fat, unlike other meat and dairy products.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol is needed to help necessary bodily functions, including insulating nerves, maintaining cell walls, and producing Vitamin D, hormones and digestive juices.

Protein

Protein performs many functions within the body. It is needed to repair body cells and to make new body tissue. Protein also helps regulate body processes.

Egg Innovations’ eggs contain all nine essential amino acids making them an excellent source of protein. Eating one Egg Innovations’ egg will supply you with 10% of the total protein intake needed daily.

For further information regarding the nutritional benefits of eggs see the American Egg Board's website.
