3. Choline
Eggs are a great source of choline, an essential nutrient that promotes brain development and memory function. It’s actually a precursor for neurotransmitter called acetylcholine (8).
It’s so important for the brain that pregnant women are highly suggested to take choline supplements to avoid developmental abnormalities in the womb.
Currently, roughly 90% of American are deficient in choline, making them more prone to muscle damage and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (9,10).
