The present invention provides a dietary supplement that promote the growth, repair, and maintenance of mammalian bone and joint connective tissue. In particular, the dietary supplement comprises a combination of at least one metal chelate and at least one chondroprotective agent. 1. A method for reducing C-telopeptide of type II collagen (CTX-II) levels in a mammal in need thereof comprising administering a composition consisting essentially of concentrated eggshell membrane to the mammal. The present invention relates to dietary supplements that promote the growth, repair, and maintenance of mammalian bone and joint connective tissue.Approximately 40 million Americans suffer from significant levels of joint stiffness and pain. This stiffness or pain can stem from the cumulative effects of chronic mechanical stress experienced during strenuous athletic activities such as running or swimming. In addition, joint pain may be the result of traumatic injuries such as sprains, dislocations and fractures. Joint pain may also be due to the long-term effects of arthritic diseases such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Besides pain in the joints, many of the joint conditions described above can result in disfigurement and loss of mobility. Approximately 6.9 million Americans have some sort of work limitation that is directly attributable to arthritis.Treatments for joint pain depend upon its cause and severity. For relatively mild joint pain brought on by repetitive mechanical stress, reducing the stress by adjusting the intensity or duration of exercise, or using different footwear or supportive appliances is the simplest option, although this may not be appropriate for athletes or performance animals. For more severe joint pain, over-the-counter non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin) and naproxen sodium (Aleve) can be helpful. In more severe cases, steroids such as prednisone or cortisone bring relief, although ...

Davidson, a Canadian Doctor, discovered an extract derived from fertilized avian eggs when they were at a critical stage of development. He used this extract to restore health in his patients. Dr. Davidson spent well over a decade developing and researching his theory. However, when Dr. Davidson passed away in 1943, his research on fertilized avian eggs was not passed on and was soon forgotten. Nearly 50 years later, the pursuit of fertilized avian egg extract was revived by Norway's foremost expert on egg research: Dr. Bjoedne Eskeland. He took Dr. Davidson's original research a step further and ...

PROCEDURE FOR THE PRESERVATION OF BY-PRODUCTS FROM THE MEAT INDUSTRY AND OTHER FOOD INDUSTRIES

Номер: US20140170277A1

Based on the idea of using preservatives to prevent putrefaction of by-products during storage and transport, without refrigeration, pressurized application of preservatives as well as pressurized air is used to achieve a nebulisation of the preservatives, as well as a homogeneous distribution thereof on the by-products. This is performed every time by-products are loaded into a hopper, being dosed and applied to the apex of the cone and/or surface of the by-product stored in the hopper, so configured by the stacking of by-products. Furthermore, the storage is performed without loss of leachates, using to this end a sealed airtight hopper. Thus, the efficacy of the preservatives is maximized. Optionally, the preservative may be incorporated during the loading of the by-products, such that when the storage occurs without fluid loss from the by-products, a container that may or may not be airtight may then be used. 1. Procedure for the preservation of by-products from the meat industry and other food industries , which , with the purpose of drastically reducing the putrefaction or degradation of such by-products—without applying cold , in particular by adding appropriate preservatives to them—is characterized in that simultaneously with each loading of the products into the collecting silo or container , without grinding , milling or disintegrating such by-products , the preservative is pressure incorporated in an appropriate amount and jointly with pressurized air , in order to obtain a nebulisation of the preservative , with a uniform distribution of the same on each layer of the by-product.2.
