One ingredient works at the core of LifeJoint: Natural Eggshell Membrane (NEM)®

NEM® is the tough skin that exists between the shell and egg white of a hard boiled egg. It's this membrane that is the source of relief from joint stiffness and pain.

NEM® can replace degenerative body muscle and tissue by increasing and providing the constituents needed to rebuild cartilage and connective tissue. These ingredients are glycosaminoglycans, glucosamine, collagen, proteins, chondroitin and hyaluronic acid. They help lubricate joints and repair tissue damage from overuse, arthritis and aging.

NEM® also helps maintain healthy articular cartilage, synovial fluid and connective tissue.

Articular cartilage is the tissue that covers the joining surfaces of bones - the diarthrodial joints. Diarthrodial joints are the movable joints in the body. They are subject to damage and trauma from playing sports, exercise or natural wear over time. Healthy joints have smooth articular cartilage and plenty of synovial fluid to keep the joint lubricated and flexible. When damage occurs to articular cartilage, there is also damage to the blood vessels, which inhibits the delivery of glucosamine and constituents needed to heal the cartilage and maintain synovial fluid.

Traditionally, glucosamine supplements were derived from Chitin, the shellfish shell, but LifeJoint derives Glucosamine from NEM, so it's a great alternative for individuals that have a shellfish allergy.

The natural ingredients in LifeJoint help you demand relief from joint stiffness and pain.

The hyaluronic acid in NEM and LifeJoint promotes early inflammation, which is crucial to the healing process of joint stiffness and pain in ligaments and tendons. Initial inflammation is beneficial as it accelerates the formation of granulation tissue needed to create new connective tissue, which increases flexibility and eliminates pain.
