EGGS are nutritious and protein- filled, but there’s more to them than just the white and yolk. Almost all the naturally occurring nutrients in egg membrane have been shown to support joint health and flexibility.
Scientists have also discovered that the membrane helps individuals move with extra ease and comfort, while a growing body of research substantiates the nutrient- rich substance as a strong component of joint and connective tissue health.
This is where the eggshell membrane supplement comes in – a new solution to combat the problem of joint pain, formulated from BiovaFlex, an all- natural, clinically tested eggshell membrane extract.
Collagen is an egg membrane matrix nutrient recognised to support joint health.
Natural collagen production slows down with age, with tendons, ligaments, cartilage and skin paying the price.
BiovaFlex contains more than 15% collagen sourced exclusively from egg membrane – no animals are harmed during production. Elastin is another major component of egg membrane that allows tissues in the body to retain its shape.
It is the desmosine and isodesmosine that contribute to elastin’s rubbery properties and stimulate the body’s production of more.
BiovaFlex egg membrane typically contains more than 20% elastin. It also contains over 10% to 20% of glycosaminoglycans, building blocks by which damaged cartilage is rebuilt.
Egg membrane contains transforming growth factor, which plays a crucial role in tissue repair, cellular differentiation and immune function.
The water- soluble BiovaFlex contains six bioactive ingredients. It is rich in the proteins collagen and elastin as well as desmo- sine/ isodesmosine, antioxidants and glycosaminoglycans – essential nutrients that include chondroitin, glucosamine and hyaluronic acid. It also helps in regenerating cells, repairing tissue and promoting immune function.
These are an integral part of joint cartilage and other connective tissues, and an important mainstay of treatment for common joint conditions such as osteoarthritis.
Biova’s patented eco- friendly OvaPure process removes the membrane from the shell and once isolated, is made water- soluble via a patented process called Hydro5.
The entire range of proteins, antioxidants, amino acids and other vital nutrients in the membrane are fully retained throughout the process and delivered in every dose of BiovaFlex.
BiovaFlex eggshell membrane supplements were developed in line with the growing need for healthy, natural alternatives.
With more individuals looking for new, efficacious products for joint support, eggshell membrane seems to be the answer to their demands.
It is easy and convenient to consume once a day as the six eggs bioactives are safe as a daily knee health supplement and suitable for diabetics and vegetarians.
“Joint health is and will continue to be an increasing problem as an ageing but more active population demands a natural solution to aid in joint support and flexibility,” said Biova president Matt Stegenga, who pointed out that there are now 1.54 million Malaysians aged 65 or older, according to the United Nations Statistics Division.
“Biova’s water- soluble egg membrane is the next generation joint health support ingredient helping keep millions of joints mobile, flexible and functioning,” he added.
