We derive a saturation theorem for general Effective Field Theories (EFTs) constructed using spurion analysis. Let S be a set of spurion fields introduced to organize the breaking of a global symmetry G_f, and H_S be the subgroup of G_f that remains unbroken under a generic vacuum expectation value ⟨S⟩; we show that the EFT Lagrangian constructed from the spurion analysis saturates the EFT Lagrangian without the spurions but restricted to H_S invariance, provided that arbitrary powers of the spurion fields are allowed. As examples, we study several implementations of the Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation (MLFV) principle, corresponding to various origins of the neutrino masses. In each scenario, we compute the Hilbert series to obtain the numbers of independent lepton flavor covariants that appear in the corresponding EFT at mass dimension 6. These numbers agree with the number of H_S invariants in the EFT without the spurions, demonstrating the saturation theorem. Motivated by phenomenological connections, we provide linearly independent spurion polynomials for selected lepton flavor covariants. An ancillary file is supplied at https://github.com/HilbertSeries/Group_Invariants_and_Covariants , which is a Mathematica notebook that provides functions for computing general Hilbert series of invariants and covariants of compact classical groups. It presents examples demonstrating the use of the code, including the Hilbert series for our MLFV scenarios.
