Complete Protein for Ageing Muscles
Each egg gives 6.3 g of complete protein, including leucine, which triggers muscle rebuilding. Older adults need more protein per kilo of body weight than younger people to stay strong.

Natural Vitamin D for Bones
Eggs are one of the few foods that naturally contain vitamin D, which the body uses to absorb calcium and maintain bone density. Adults over 70 need at least 800 IU of vitamin D daily.
Choline Supports Brain Health
One egg yolk provides around 147 mg of choline, used to make acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter central to memory. Studies associate regular egg intake with better verbal memory in older adults.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin for Eyes
Egg yolk is a rich, highly bioavailable source of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that accumulate in the retina and support visual health as the years pass.

B12 for Nerves and Energy
Eggs supply vitamin B12, which the body needs for healthy nerve function and energy metabolism. Up to 30% of older adults absorb less B12 from food, so a daily egg is a practical, gentle source.
The Highest Protein Quality Score
Eggs score above 100 on the DIAAS, the gold standard for protein digestibility. The body absorbs and uses nearly all the protein in an egg, making every gram count.

One egg at breakfast is a quiet daily habit that adds up to real strength. A good Multan morning starts here.
