Author(s): Kevin J Ruff*, Kayce Morton, Sarah A Duncan, Mathew Back, Adam Ismail and Alan S Ryan
Background: Eggshell membrane supplementation has been shown to reduce exercise-induced joint pain and
stiffness and lower urinary excretion of C-terminal cross-linked telopeptide of type-II collagen (uCTX-II), a marker of
cartilage degradation, in healthy, postmenopausal women. This study was conducted to evaluate whether the
combination of eggshell membrane and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (ES-OM3) versus placebo would reduce
levels of uCTX-II and alleviate joint pain or stiffness immediately following exercise and 12 hours post exercise in
healthy men and women.
Methods: The study was a two-week randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. Eighty-five healthy men and
women (40-70 years) were randomly assigned to receive either 500 mg eggshell membrane with 1,500 mg fish oil
concentrate (n=43) or 2,000 mg p.. View More»
