Essential Nutrients and Vitamins in Eggs

 

7. Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)

Pantothenic acid, commonly known as vitamin B5, plays a significant role in converting the food you consume into active energy and breaking down fats. It also aids in the making of vitamin D and the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen around the body.

Though uncommon when following a healthy and balanced diet, a deficiency in vitamin B5 may result in fatigue, irritability, numbness, and muscle cramps, among other symptoms.

A serving of two eggs provides you with 22% of the RDI of Pantothenic acid.

8. Vitamin A

Vitamin A is vital in sustaining healthy skin, supporting immune function, maintaining good vision and promoting general reproductive health.

Drawing sufficient vitamin A from within your diet should prevent any symptoms of deficiency, including hair loss, skin problems, dry eyes and an increased risk of infections.

With the recommended daily intake for vitamin A set at 750µg, a serving of two eggs delivers 14% of the advisable amount.
