The Amazing Actives of Egg Membrane

• Collagen: Peptides that promote skin strength, elasticity, cohesion and firmness
• Elastin: Protein which gives tissue the elastic tension and ability to resume its shape after stretching
• Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) vital polysaccharides: Cannot be synthesized by the  body, these crucial nutrients must be obtained through diet
• Hyaluronic Acid (HA): Including glucosamine, chondroitin, and hyaluronic acid: vital polysaccharides which serve as structural components of connective tissue, interstitial fluids, and cartilage matrix
• Transforming Growth Factor Proteins: Including Ovocalixin, Ovocleidin, and Ovotransferrin which play a crucial role in tissue repair

Multiple Delivery Applications

Technical Details & Test Data

BiovaPlex Scientific Support

Biovaplex® Scientific Support

• BiovaPlex alone showed a 44% improvement in joint mobility in 2 weeks, and 61% in 4 weeks
• When combined with existing supplementation of glucosamine and omega-3 fatty acids, BiovaPlex showed an increase in improvement over the existing supplementation—suggesting that BiovaPlex has a different mechanism of action
• Whether taking BiovaPlex alone or in conjunction with another joint care supplement, dogs will experience improved joint mobility.

BiovaPlex® water soluble egg membrane (WSEM) provides proven elemental building blocks to support joint and connective tissue health as well as overall skin and coat health.
