Lutein eggs refer to eggs that have their lutein content increased by feeding chickens special feed.
Lutein is a carotenoid can be used to improve the color of egg yolks, and its deposition and improvement effects have received attention.
Our company provides lutein powder, which can be used as feed additives, applied in breeding industry or pet food.
Lutein eggs have a higher lutein content than ordinary eggs, so they can increase the intake of lutein. However, lutein is a fat-soluble substance, and fat-soluble substances need to be taken with fat to be better absorbed. Therefore, the lutein in the yolk will combine with the fat in the yolk to promote its absorption and utilization. This means that compared with simply consuming lutein supplements or lutein in other foods, consuming lutein eggs may be beneficial to the body's absorption of lutein.
Although the lutein content in spinach and seaweed is higher than that in eggs, their absorption and utilization rate is much lower than that in eggs because the DHA in eggs can promote the absorption of lutein.
However, the specific absorption effect will also be affected by individual differences and other dietary factors. For people who need to increase their lutein intake, they can choose to eat lutein eggs, but it is still recommended to consider a balanced diet based on personal health and nutritional needs, including other lutein-rich foods such as green leafy vegetables and other fruits.
