Health professionals choose Columbus egg

Health professionals choose Columbus egg

The nutritional value of Columbus eggs is proven by scientific studies. 1 Columbus egg contains fifteen times more omega-3 than a standard egg and four times more than other eggs advertised as being rich in omega-3.
General practitioners, dieticians or cardiologists,.. Many health professionals recommend Columbus eggs for their unequalled nutritional qualities. Columbus eggs are particularly recommended for combating cholesterol and overweight.

I usually recommend the Columbus egg to my cardiac patients and anyone who cares about health and well-being.
In addition to the fact that cholesterol in the yolk does not influence blood levels of cholesterol, this egg is distinguished from all others by its high content of omega 3 essential fatty acids (with an excellent omega 6 / omega 3 ratio ) and phospholipids of very high quality. The Columbus egg can therefore be considered as a full player in responsible cardiovascular nutrition.

Columbus Egg has been a partner of choice for years in improving the health of my patients.

Not only does it allow us to reach the recommended intake of omega-3, high biological value proteins and critical micro-nutrients, but it is also a source of satiety, well-being and gustatory pleasure.
The Columbus egg can therefore be considered an integral part of a healthy, balanced diet. That’s why I recommend it to all my patients.
