Why is Zinc Important for Our Health?

What is Zinc?

Zinc is an essential mineral that your body needs every day to stay healthy. Since your body cannot produce or store zinc, it must be obtained regularly through your daily diet.

Why Add Zinc to Eggs?

Eggs are already one of nature’s most nutritious foods. By enriching the hens’ diet with zinc, the eggs naturally contain more zinc, making it an easy and delicious way for you and your family to increase your daily zinc intake.

How Is Zinc Added to the Eggs?

Zinc is not injected into the eggs. Instead, our hens are fed a carefully balanced diet enriched with approved zinc minerals. The hens naturally absorb the zinc and transfer it into the eggs during egg formation, producing naturally zinc-enriched eggs.

Why Do We Need Zinc?

Because our bodies cannot make or store zinc, we need to consume it every day through nutritious foods to support normal body functions and overall wellbeing.

Benefits of Zinc

  • Supports a healthy immune system.

  • Helps maintain healthy skin and supports wound healing.

  • Contributes to normal growth and body repair.

  • Supports normal cognitive function.

  • Helps maintain overall health and wellbeing.

A Great Choice for Those Who Don’t Eat Seafood

Shellfish is one of the richest natural sources of zinc. For people who don’t eat seafood or shellfish—including some with seafood allergies—zinc-enriched eggs provide a convenient alternative source of dietary zinc as part of a balanced diet.

How Much Zinc Do We Need?

The recommended daily intake is:

  • Men: 11 mg per day

  • Women: 8 mg per day

A balanced diet that includes zinc-rich foods, such as zinc-enriched eggs, can help you meet your daily nutritional needs.
