45% of protein provided by the egg white is superior to all other natural nutrients, as all the amino acids that are essential for our body are contained in it. 12% of a man’s and 14% of a woman’s daily nutritional needs, can be fulfilled by an egg. |
Fat |
A large egg contains 5 grams of fat, of which only 1.5g is saturated fat. Cholesterol ascends to 190 grams. Egg fats make up 56% of an egg’s calories. |
Irons & Vitamis |
Eggs are rich in minerals and vitamins such as: calcium, phosphorus, iron, sodium, potassium, vitamin A, niacin, biotin, vitamin B12, riboflavin (vitamin B2), pantothenic acid (vitamin B5), folic acid (vitamin B9)etc. |
Antioxidants |
Antioxidants “shield” the body from unwanted harm caused by oxygen metabolism and play an important role inprotecting the body from heart disease and cancer.Powerful carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthin) found in egg yolk provide security to the photosensitive resin . |
Choline |
Choline can be found mainly in eggs. According to studies, the lack of choline during pregnancy seems to hinder the normal development of the fetal brain, which can result in babies being born with reduced memory capacity, a feature that will taint them for the rest of their lives. Increased levels of choline granted to the fetus, have been proven to result in above-average memory capacity. |
