Akums Drugs and Pharmaceuticals, a contract manufacturing pharmaceutical company in India, has entered into a joint venture with Microcore Research, which is the only manufacturer of Natural Eggshell Membrane (NESM) that has innovative and Granted Patent Technology with unique mechanism that does not employs any chemicals and solvent for the purification of the natural eggshell membrane product ranges, the company said in a statement on Monday.
With this tie-up, Akums will now leverage NESM and develop dietary supplements for maintaining healthy joint and connective tissues, the statement read.
Natural Eggshell Membrane is a novel dietary supplement that contains naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans and proteins essential for maintaining healthy joint and connective tissues. Its natural composition is a very interesting product to use as a natural source of collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate and other key biomolecules.
Several scientific studies have shown the great effectiveness of the eggshell membrane as an ingredient for food supplements, in such diverse areas as bones, tendons and joint health, skin, hair and nails and several others. NESM is organically derived from poultry eggs, it naturally contains glucosamine & chondroitin that supports healthy joints. It is an effective and safe option for the treatment of pain and stiffness associated with knee osteoarthritis.
“Poor bone and joint health is gradually becoming a serious public health concern. The World Health Organization (WHO) has kept osteoporosis second (with cardiovascular diseases at the top) on the list of serious global healthcare problems, said Sanjeev Jain, Founder, Promoter and Director, Akums Drugs and Pharmaceuticals.
About 1 in 3 women over 30 years of age experience fractures related to osteoporosis. Despite the widespread prevalence, it is an under-recognised public health concern that needs immediate attention. The lack of knowledge and awareness about this crippling disease has translated into a significant human and economic burden on India. Improper dietary habits and an increasingly indoor lifestyle are now putting the relatively younger generation at risk, Jain said.
