In the past 30 years, China has been the world's largest egg production country, 2020 data show that China's egg production reached 40% of the world's total output, different egg yolk preferences The influence of age and region on egg yolk color In terms of egg yolk color, people in different regions have different choice preferences, the northeast region will prefer a darker egg yolk color than the southwest region, and in terms of age, consumers over 45 years old prefer dark egg yolk, and 25 Consumers under the age of age prefer light-coloured egg yolks.

To a certain extent, this also explains the differences in people's preferences for egg colors in different regions, the northeast region prefers dark egg yolk and eggshell color, and the southwest region prefers a slightly lighter color, partly due to the temperature difference brought about by the latitude distribution, the acceptance of functional eggs With the improvement of people's living standards and the gradual popularization of nutritional knowledge, people are paying more and more attention to the nutrients in food, which is reflected in the eggs that put forward higher requirements for eggs, and functional eggs also follow this trend to appear on the market, 3 eggs that help cardiovascular health and brain development, lutein eggs that improve the color of egg yolk and help retinal development, selenium-rich and iodine-rich eggs that can reduce cancer and arthritis all meet everyone's diverse needs for eggs. And these eggs as a rising star, how well is the market accepting it?A random survey of 1317 consumers showed that the results showed that most consumers can explain the premium space compared to ordinary eggs is less than 1 yuan, combined with the price of eggs, the acceptance of a single functional egg ** is between 2-4 yuan, horizontally, the premium of native eggs seems to have a higher tolerance among consumers, which is related to the long-term formation of "native eggs are more nutritious" view, and the recognition of functional eggs in the market still needs to be improved. Miracle DHA eggs

For adolescents: DHA is an important component of the brain and is involved in bodily and brain processes, including synaptic growth, membrane mobility, blood-brain barrier integrity, and inflammation, and has been shown to boost cognitive performance in the average adolescent when the daily intake of DHA+EPA exceeds 450mg. For pregnant women: The FAO and WHO recommend a minimum of 200-300 mg of DHA per day, with a maximum limit of 1000 mg during pregnancy, and many supplements set the addition standard at 200 mg, some experiments have shown that increasing daily DHA intake to 1000 mg during pregnancy can reduce the risk of preterm birth. For obese people: Obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, and leptin, interleukins IL-6, IL-8, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) are often in abnormal states in these populations, and these inflammatory proteins and cells play an important role in the development of insulin resistance, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome

An experiment in overweight people aged 25 to 45 years showed that high-dose supplementation (3200mg EPA, 1600mg DHA) for 3 months could modulate metabolism and inflammation in obese patients for cardiovascular patients: GISSI trial: daily supplementation with 280mg EPA versus 560mg DHA reduced hospitalization by 10% and sudden cardiac death by 7%OPACH study: daily supplementation with 930mg EPA and 750mg DHA, myocardial infarction was reduced by 70%, major coronary events were reduced by 60%, and a threshold of 500mg of DHA was found to exist, and in experiments with a daily intake of 500mg of DHA, information on cardiovascular disease benefits were reported, and the daily intake of DHA 550mg per capita in Japan resulted in a 6% lower cardiac mortality rate per 1,000 people per year than in Italy8 times

Finally, if we look at the daily intake recommendations for DHA by relevant organizations in various countries or regions, we can find that taking 200mg of eggs as an example, 1-2 eggs can meet the DHA needs of most people.
