The eggs are not created equal. Their nutrient composition varies from one egg to another according to how the hens were fed and how they were raised.

Hence, the eggs of a hen raised on pasture or of that fed Omega-3 enriched feeds are richer and much higher with Omega-3 fatty acids. The latter reduces blood levels of triglycerides, which is known to usually lead to heart disease.

Eating Omega-3 enriched eggs help reduce triglycerides in the blood according to the studies report. One of the studies pointed out that the consumption of five omega-3 enriched eggs a week for a period of three weeks reduced triglycerides by 16 to18 percent.
