Eggshell membrane: A possible new natural therapeutic for joint and connective tissue disorders. Results from two open-label human clinical studies
Clinical Interventions in Aging, 05/19/09

Ruff KJ et al. - Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM) is a possible new effective and safe therapeutic option for the treatment of pain and inflexibility associated with joint and connective tissue (JCT) disorders. Supplementation with NEM, 500 mg taken once daily, significantly reduced pain, both rapidly (seven days) and continuously (30 days). It also showed clinically meaningful results from a brief responder analysis, demonstrating that significant proportions of treated patients may be helped considerably from NEM supplementation.

“What I found most remarkable about the study was the quickness in which people responded to the eggshell membrane preparation,” stated Anne Winkler, MD, PhD, a rheumatologist and one of the study’s authors. “Generally, we tell patients taking over-the-counter products that contain glucosamine that it may be two to three months before they notice any benefits. The fact that within a fairly short period of time they noticed a definite improvement in symptomology was impressive.”
