Pharmacology
Natural Eggshell Membrane is the thin layer between the eggshell and the egg white. It's a unique biological matrix made up of the main joint constituents: collagen (type I, V, X), glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) such as chondroitin and hyaluronic acid, other proteins like glycoprotein, and minerals like calcium. Collagen types I, V, and X support cartilage structure. The glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate, are essential for the integrity of the cartilage matrix, and they also lubricate the joints and maintain cartilage hydration. Natural Eggshell Membrane also shows anti-inflammatory effects by reducing cytokines (TNF-a, IL-1(3)).
