A Complete Protein For Growing Kids
One large egg has about 6.3g complete protein, all nine amino acids a child needs to build muscle, skin and new cells.
Choline Fuels Early Brain Growth
An egg supplies choline, a nutrient the brain and nervous system need for memory, mood and muscle control during childhood.
Vitamin D Helps Build Strong Bones
Egg yolk is one of few natural food sources of vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium so growing bones develop strong.
Lutein And Zeaxanthin Support Young Eyes
Egg yolk carries lutein and zeaxanthin, plant pigments that gather in the macula and help filter light and protect eye cells.

B12 Keeps Blood And Nerves Healthy
Vitamin B12 in eggs helps the body make healthy red blood cells and DNA, and keeps nerve cells working well as kids grow.
Egg Eating Kids Get More Key Nutrients
A US study found children who eat eggs take in more protein, choline, lutein and zeaxanthin daily than kids who skip them.
