Our multi-award-winning Super Eggs™are the next generation in egg nutrition and our free-roaming hens are fed a scientifically developed ‘Super Feed’, containing high levels of natural selenium (Se), Vitamin D and DHA Omega-3; which are fantastic for their health, as well as our own. The hens absorb and deposit these super nutrients into the eggs making them one of the most nutrient-rich, free-range eggs on the market.
A well-balanced, healthy diet is infinitely better for you than taking supplements and far easier for your body to absorb and store nutrients; essential for a healthy body and mind!
Due to a family history of pancreatitis, Super Eggs™ was initially developed following research on the antioxidant properties linking selenium intake and the protection of the cells. Yet, the untimely arrival of the Coronavirus prompted further research into the eggs’ health benefits for a wider demographic and the results were remarkable.
Selenium is a naturally occurring mineral that has had very little exposure, but this super nutrient packs some serious kudos and is actually one of the 13 essential minerals needed to maintain optimal health and offer immune system support. Even in small doses, selenium plays a vital role in important processes within the body including, hair and nail strengthening, collagen promotion, and regulating the thyroid hormone and is an effective antioxidant; helping to protect cells from oxidative stress.
Selenium benefits:
- Offers immune system support
- Helps to regulate your thyroid hormone production
- Contributes to antioxidant activity
- Plays an important role in fertility (spermatogenesis)
- Strengthens hair follicles, and nails and boosts the collagen in your skin
DHA Omega-3 benefits:

- DHA Omega-3 helps brain, eye and nerve development, visual health and function and eye health
- Contribute to cardiovascular health: maintenance and promotion of heart health and healthy circulation
- Playing an important part in carbohydrate metabolism and insulin sensitivity. Long-term maintenance of normal blood glucose concentrations

Based on strong scientific evidence, the Food Standards Authority (FSA) states that runny or even raw eggs can now be safely eaten by vulnerable groups such as babies, pregnant women and the elderly, as long as they carry the British Red Lion stamp. All St Ewe eggs are Red Lion Code registered, and Vegetarian Society accredited, for total peace of mind.
