This makes the case for egg eating even stronger, as just two eggs provide 82% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin D! This vitamin really does play in important role when it comes to absorbing calcium and phosphorus, and is essential in maintaining healthy skin, bones, and teeth. Vitamin D also promotes healthy muscles and a robust immune system.
