Naturally Abundant Eggs

Now, there is nothing better then a fresh, organic & warm hens egg to kick start your day! Let me tell you Why, What & How are the best eggs for you.

Why, you ask? Eggs are packed with an abundance of essential vitamins & minerals, nutrients to truly nourish your soul, low in saturated fats & rich in the following nutrients.

• Vitamin B12 - Important for Red blood cell production, Nervous system & Carbohydrate/Fat Metabolism. B12 is rich in the egg yolk.
• Folate - Important for Reproductive health, Gastrointestinal system e.g digestive health & Cardiovascular health.
• Protein - Rich in Protein at about 11g per serve & as we all know Protein is not only the building blocks for our bodies but serves as a great energy source.
• Vitamin A - Essential for Vision, Tissue Growth, Antioxidant for Oxidative stress & has also be known as the"Anti-infective" Vitamin.
• Vitamin E - Antioxidant E neutralises free radical damage, reduces the production of scar tissue & increases immune system functions.
• Selenium - Enhances Immune function, Healthy Thyroid function & also appears to be involved in the regulation of a healthy cholesterol HDL:LDL Ratio.
• Omega 3 - Our EFA's meaning essential fatty acids are imperative for the protection of all cells in our bodies, play a fundamental role in brain health, heart health & have an Anti-inflammatory response for healthy joints.
