Every nutritional claim we make is rooted in current lab verification, thoughtful farming practice, and quality discipline. This page explains the science clearly — no jargon, no inflated promises.
Nutritional output is not fixed. It is influenced by how hens are raised, what they eat, their access to natural light, stress levels, hygiene, and the freshness chain after collection. NOURIQ controls these inputs before the egg reaches your home.
What hens eat influences egg quality. A carefully managed feed philosophy helps support consistency in nutrients, yolk quality, and overall freshness. At NOURIQ, hens are raised on exceptional-quality feed, thoughtfully enriched with a purposeful blend of essential vitamins and minerals.
View Research →Natural light, movement, and calm environments support healthier routines for hens. NOURIQ prioritizes open, managed environments where hens can move, perch, and express natural behaviours.
View Research →Overcrowded and inconsistent environments can affect health, routine, and output. NOURIQ focuses on preventive care, stable routines, and daily oversight so quality begins before collection.
View Research →Nutrition and eating quality are best protected when eggs move through a disciplined chain after collection. At NOURIQ, freshness is preserved through a disciplined chain — collection, temperature controlled care, quality checks, careful packing, and dispatch — ensuring quality is maintained from farm to door.

Essential polyunsaturated fats the body cannot synthesise. Supports cardiovascular health, brain function, inflammation regulation, and fetal neural development.
Eggs contain all 9 essential amino acids, making them a complete protein. Pasture-raised conditions improve amino acid profile and bioavailability over conventionally farmed eggs.
Critical for calcium absorption, bone density, immune regulation, and hormonal balance. Over 70% of urban Indians are Vitamin D deficient. Sunlight access for hens is the primary driver of yolk Vitamin D levels.
Essential for red blood cell formation, neurological function, and DNA synthesis. B12 deficiency is widespread among vegetarians in India. Eggs are one of the most bioavailable non-meat B12 sources available.
Often overlooked, choline is essential for liver function, brain development, and nervous system signalling. Egg yolks are the single richest dietary source. Critically important during pregnancy for fetal brain formation.
A trace mineral with powerful antioxidant properties. Selenium supports thyroid function, immune defence, and reproductive health. Levels in eggs depend directly on selenium content in the feed.
Synthetic hormones — including estrogen analogues and growth promoters — are used in commercial poultry to accelerate growth and increase egg-laying frequency beyond natural rates. They leave residue in the food chain and disrupt the hormonal balance of consumers, particularly in growing children and pregnant women.
At NOURIQ, we have a documented zero-hormone policy across our full operation. No growth promoters, no synthetic estrogens, no production-rate enhancers. Every batch is tested for synthetic hormone markers by a NABL-accredited third-party laboratory. Reports are on file and available on request.
In industrial poultry farming, antibiotics are routinely mixed into feed as a preventive measure — not to treat sick animals, but to suppress infection risk caused by overcrowding. This practice contributes to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), one of the most significant global public health threats, and leaves antibiotic residue in the food supply.
At NOURIQ, antibiotics are only administered under veterinary prescription for specific, documented illness. Any batch from treated birds is withheld from sale through a defined withdrawal protocol. This is verified through quarterly residue testing by a third-party laboratory.
