1.0 Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM)
NEM is the
naturally occurring thin membrane between the egg shell and egg white. The
proteins present in NEM can help repair cartilage. When cartilage is damaged
either by a sudden trauma or due to aging, damaging acids that cause pain and
stiffness are released.
Medicinal Properties of NEM
Like other alternative medicines and herbs it takes a little time (i.e. seven to ten days) for the effects of NEM to start evidencing a decrease in inflammation and pain. Effects should continue to build over that span of about 30 days.
NEM contains multiple
substances that support the maintenance of healthy joints and tissue:
- Amino Acids Desmosine and isodesmosine;
- Both of these amino acids support joint elasticity;
- Chondroitin:
- Supports cartilage elasticity, fights joint damaging enzymes;
- Collagen:
- A beneficial fibrous protein found in connective tissue;
- Supports connective tissue strength and elasticity;
- Elastin:
- A protein that supports healthy cartilage, skin and spine;
- Glucosamine – assist with cartilage repair; cushions joints against impact; decreases joint inflammation;
- Growth Factor B – supports cell regeneration and optimal immune function.
- Hyaluronic acid - helps with the absorption of shock, supports joint elasticity;
