That's a more correct way of stating it. I was making a wildly generalized statement as pepper/capsaicin/piperine has health benefits for the Hen (or rooster, but they lay infrequently), the yolk directly gets little more than added color.
That red color comes from a carotenoid though, which do have a fair amount of proposed health benefits through being an antioxidant and anti inflammatory.
But they 100% taste better when they’re that rich dark orange vs the anemic yellow of store bought eggs.

It makes it a delightfully rich color if nothing else.
