Probably not if you live in the U.S. Some cultures are known to consume the eggshells and eggshell membranes for their protein, but it’s not so commonly heard of here in the states. Chicken eggs have been a staple of many cultures’ diets for centuries and are well-accepted as being safe and beneficial to our health. The egg shells are a natural source of calcium and have been evaluated for safety in a number of animal and human studies carried out in Europe, Asia, and the U.S. The membranes are an abundant raw material that are a novel source for naturally occurring bioactive compounds such as glucosamine, chondroitin sulfate, hyaluronic acid, collagen, and sulfur-rich proteins. All these components are naturally found in our joints and connective tissues.

ESM Technologies, the leading supplier of innovative, commercialized eggshell and eggshell membrane wellness ingredients, has received self-affirmed Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status for its patented, clinically proven ingredient, NEM® (Natural Eggshell Membrane). NutraSense sells this NEM in a product called JointSense™. The extensive GRAS status evaluations consisted of an independent expert panel comprised of toxicologists, pharmacologists, and medical doctors. Several other studies have been conducted on the safety and the efficacy of NEM®, including one major study published in Clinical Rheumatology. Thirty-three percent of the subjects receiving NEM® in this clinical trial experienced greater than a 30% reduction in pain and stiffness in just 10 days. After 60 days, more than half experienced a 50% reduction in pain and stiffness.

According to the CDC, an astounding one in three Americans suffer from joint problems and my guess is not everybody is going to benefit from the same supplement. If you find that your current supplement isn’t working for you as well as it used to, try JointSense™ with NEM®. The daily dosage of JointSense™ is just one 500 mg vegetarian capsule per day, and it’s all natural.

ESM Technologies, the manufacturer of JointSense™, is located in southwest Missouri and is dedicated to improving human and animal health, as well as reducing waste and protecting our environment. ESM finds additional value in discarded eggshells from USDA inspected facilities, and manufactures this product using a patented technology under strict regulations according to good manufacturing practices (cGMP). The only byproduct from this traceable and sustainable process is steam.
