Egg membrane for joints
CLICKING noises (also known as crepitus) or a grinding sensation from the knees may indicate a joint degenerative condition called osteoarthritis. It is defined as a condition in which the rubbery cartilage that serves as a shock absorber for our joints becomes stiff, losing its elasticity and becoming more susceptible to damage. As the cartilage wears away, tendons and ligaments stretch, causing pain. It can occur in almost any joint in the body, most commonly in the fingers, hips, knees and spine.
While most people over 60 have some degree of osteoarthritis, it is also known to affect people in their 20s and 30s. With not many options to combat the pain, many sufferers turn to painkillers. This raises the risk of depending on painkillers which many know is only able to mask the pain. Hence, patients are opting for healthy and natural alternatives to treat their joint problems.
A popular remedy for joint pain is egg membrane which is derived from eggshells. With high content of bioactive components found within the egg membrane, it has proven effective in joint health and flexibility. Through a sterile and eco-friendly extraction process which removes the membrane from the eggshells, nutrients are kept effective. These play a crucial role in tissue repair, cellular differentiation and immune function. Nutrients found in egg membrane include:
Collagen Ω The egg membrane matrix nutrient recognised to support joint health. A 1993 double-blind study showed that collagen decreased the number of swollen and tender joints in patients with arthritis during a three-month period.
Elastin Ω Another major component of egg membrane which allows body tissues to retain its shape when pinched, stretched or contracted. It’s the desmosine and isodesmosine that contribute to elastin’s rubbery properties and stimulate the body’s production. Glycosaminoglycans Ω An integral part of joint cartilage and other connective tissues. They are the building blocks by which chondrocytes rebuild damaged cartilage.
QUICK AND EFFECTIVE An independent study conducted in California to evaluate the supplement for safety and efficacy in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain and flexibility proved that BiovaFlex helps improve joint pain as early as seven days from the start of the formulation, giving users more flexibility, agility and strength in just six weeks.
The study revealed that subjects suffering from knee osteoarthritis who took 450mg of BiovaFlex eggshell 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, participants reported a 37.8% increase in knee flexibility and a 20% decrease in pain.
BiovaFlex eggshell membrane was developed in line with the growing need for healthy, natural alternatives. It is sourced from common chicken eggshells, its membrane removed using Biova’s patented eco-friendly OvaPure process. BiovaFlex comes in 450gm capsules and is suitable for diabetics and vegetarians.
