WHY OMEGA-3 IS GOOD FOR YOU?
Omega-3 is a long chain fatty acid that is an essential nutrient in our diet. The European Food Safety Association (EFSA) recently confirmed the following with respect to Omega-3 health claims in a report. (Report no: 2011;9(4):2078)
• Omega-3 is important in the maintenance of normal brain function and development
• Omega-3 is important in the maintenance of normal vision
• Omega-3 is important in the maintenance of normal cardiac function
EFSA thus confirmed that the daily intake of Omega-3 fatty acids is beneficial in general brain, eye and heart health.
Eggs are a good source of Omega-3 fatty acids only when hens consume diets high in Omega-3 oils. The Omega-3 eggs in this pack were laid by free range hens on a diet that is high in flax seed oils, Vitamin E and Selenium to ensure that the Omega-3 fatty acids remains protected in the yolk of the egg.
