Tackling joint issues with egg membrane

-

THE severity of joint pain sometimes leaves many sufferers no option but to pop a couple of painkiller­s a day. In quite a few cases, it has become a necessity in order for sufferers to be able to have a normal life. With dependency on painkiller­s a primary concern, savvy patients are opting for healthy, natural alternativ­es that are able to treat their joint problems instead of blocking the pain.

A popular remedy for joint pains appears to be egg membrane, derived from eggshells which have shown to support joint health and flexibilit­y. Through a sterile and eco-friendly extraction process which removes the membrane from the eggshells, it ensures nutrients are at its most effective. Besides the transformi­ng growth factor in egg membrane which plays a crucial role in tissue repair, cellular differenti­ation and immune function, it also includes: blocks by which chondrocyt­es rebuild damaged cartilage.

BACKED BY RESEARCH A growing body of research substantia­tes nutrient-rich egg membrane as a strong component of joint and connective tissue health. A 2009 study shows that people who took 450mg of BiovaFlex egg membrane daily for six weeks had an 8.2% decrease in pain after seven days and a 16.42% decrease after two weeks. By the end of six weeks, subjects were reporting a 20% decrease in pain. Study participan­ts also reported a 37.8% increase in knee flexibilit­y.

Although people with egg allergies should consult a healthcare profession­al before using an egg membrane product, there have been no adverse results reported from its use. Egg membrane was also tested for allergenic­ity, cytotoxici­ty, genotoxici­ty and acute oral toxicity, and research results showed egg membrane is safe for human consumptio­n.

WATER-SOLUBLE AND SUSTAINABL­E Biova’s egg membrane is the only water-soluble option in the world. Once isolated from the shell, the membrane is rendered water soluble via a patented process called Hydro5. The entire range of proteins, antioxidan­ts, amino acids and other vital nutrients abundant in egg membrane are fully retained throughout the process and delivered in every dose of BiovaFlex.

Besides that, it is completely sustainabl­e and a green product. It does not come from endangered exotic animals, threatened environmen­ts or rare, nonsustain­able plants. It is sourced from common chicken eggshells, previously considered to be a useless by-product.

BiovaFlex comes in 450mg capsules and can be consumed once daily.
