NovaJoint is the science-based nutritional alternative to glucosamine and chondroitin ... delivering breakthrough ingredients including water soluble Eggshell Membrane to support healthy, flexible smooth gliding joints.

What is Eggshell Membrane?

Eggshell Membrane is the protective layer lining the eggshell that you might peel away from a hardboiled egg.  Unfortunately, you won't get the joint support benefits from cooked eggshell membrane. A proprietary process carefully extracts the delicate membrane from the shell within minutes of cracking, so it can be purified into the nutraceutical used in NovaJoint.

Highest Quality & Value

Ever wonder where the glucosamine & chondroitin in your supplement came from? 

The eggshell membrane selected for NovaJoint has almost twice the protein content of NEM eggshell membrane - many key active ingredients are found in the protein content…that means the eggshell membrane in NovaJoint contains almost twice as much of these important biologically active natural compounds your body needs to rebuild cartilage, connective tissue, tendons and lubricate joints to support healthy joint structure and function.

For your peace of mind, NovaJoint is made with wholesome eggshell membranes harvested directly from USDA-inspected American farms.  Every eggshell is completely traceable directly back to the very farm where it was raised.  Membranes are gently extracted and purified using a proprietary process that yields a pure, water-soluble nutraceutical containing over 90% protein (where the actives are), with no artificial additives or preservatives.

Facts About Eggshell Membrane

Allergy, Sensitivity or Egg-Related Concerns

We disclose the starting material of egg, as it is considered a dietary allergen. However, NovaJoint contains eggshell membrane, not the whole egg, egg white or egg yolk which are the primary source of egg allergies and other egg-related concerns, such as the cholesterol and saturated fat present in egg yolks.

Independent university laboratory tests conducted using standard food allergy antibody panels determined that eggshell membrane does not elicit a classic allergic response to eggs. While these tests are not necessarily 100% infallible and cannot be extrapolated to the entire population, they support a preliminary conclusion.

NovaJoint was carefully designed by a physician who spent decades practicing environmental/integrative medicine. We’ve taken special care to design this and all our other products to consider environmental sensitivities, as most all our products are sold to highly discriminating integrative medical practitioners who are concerned about patients’ unique sensitivities. Purity is our goal.Purity is our goal.  Here is the list of what you won’t find in NovaJoint:  Click to see "What's Not in NovaJoint".

Healthy Cholesterol

Avoiding Eggs?

Eggshell membrane is not the same as the whole egg, egg white or egg yolk.  All of the cholesterol in eggs is in the egg yolk. So consuming eggshell membrane should have no effect on cholesterol.

In fact, NovaJoint contains numerous ingredients with published scientific evidence supporting healthy cholesterol, lipid balance, heart & vascular health and wellness, and oxidative stress.

• Boswellia
• Curcumin
• Lunasin
• Lipoic acid
• Olive Leaf Extract
• Probiotics
• Selenium
• Tocotrienols
• Vitamin D
• Tart Cherry Juice
  

There have been no scientifically documented, medically monitored or confirmed cases in the scientific literature of Eggshell Membrane adversely impacting healthy cholesterol levels.

Vegetarian Suitable?

YES!

NovaJoint is the joint health supplement suitable for ovo-vegetarians and discriminating individuals who wish to avoid animal products like gelatin (softgels are typically made from pork and/or beef gelatin), slaugherhouse by-products (like chondroitin) and shellfish (primary source of glucosamine).

• Vegetarian Capsule.  NovaJoint’s capsule is made from plant-source cellulose, shaded naturally with chlorophyll to protect light sensitive ingredients.

• Vegetarian Suitable Probiotics.  Even our dairy-free probiotics are suitable for vegetarians.

Healthy You, Healthy Planet

We care about the ecological impact of our product and its packaging.  The invaluable Eggshell Membrane used in NovaJoint is a product of the USDA-inspected egg industry and would have been discarded if not for the breakthrough discovery of its benefits.  No chickens were sacrificed and no eggs were wasted specifically to harvest the Eggshell Membrane in NovaJoint. 

NovaJoint is encapsulated in plant-source, vegetarian capsules shaded green with 100% plant-source chlorophyll to protect light sensitive ingredients.  Our plastic bottle is a #2 that we encourage you to recycle when empty.

NovaJoint’s Targeted Dairy-Free Probiotics

NovaJoint contains a Triple Probiotic System with patented probiocap® technology (Bacillus coagulans, plus Lactobacillus casei probiocap® & Lactobacillus rhamnosus probiocap®) that are all dairy-free and vegan suitable.

We carefully selected the special probiotic strains in NovaJoint for their ability to survive harsh stomach acids and perform many beneficial functions within your digestive system*.

*The World Health Organization (WHO) defines probiotics as live microorganisms, which, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host.

We all have a variety of bacteria in our digestive system -- some beneficial, some not so helpful.  From the day you were born, your digestive tract has been colonized by as many as 500 different species of bacteria to create a home for billions of bacteria.  One key to good intestinal health is maintaining a population of beneficial bacteria (like the bacterial cultures in real yogurt) to help maintain a healthy balance in the digestive tract.

Some of your intestinal bacteria are called probiotics or “beneficial flora" because they can:

• Help to digest your food*
• Help to maintain healthy bowel regularity*
• Help maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora*

Lifestyle could alter your intestinal balance by reducing the beneficial flora. But don’t worry, this isn’t permanent and you can make a change by supplementing beneficial bacteria, or probiotics.  The specialized probiotics in NovaJoint can help you maintain a balance of healthy beneficial intestinal flora.* 

Here are just a few lifestyle factors that could affect the balance of intestinal bacteria:

Diet:  Poor dietary choices can disrupt your digestive balance, like fats and sweets or diets low in fiber.  Adequate fiber, particularly soluble fiber, promotes the growth of beneficial intestinal flora.  Soluble fiber isn’t typically present in foods high in fat or sweets.  Try adding foods that provide some soluble fiber and insoluble fiber, drink a healthy amount of pure water and nutritious fluids daily and always eat slowly.  These are easy first steps to supporting balanced intestinal health.

Poor Food Prep:  Sometimes undercooked foods can allow salmonella and other unfriendly bacteria to survive.  This could alter the balance of beneficial (friendly) bacteria and unfriendly organisms.

Medications:  Some medications, like antibiotics, can have an adverse effect on the beneficial flora in your intestinal tract.  In fact, your doctor may suggest that you eat yogurt or take probiotics after a course of antibiotics to help restore the balance of beneficial flora.  Read your medication inserts carefully to see if any of your medications could affect gastrointestinal health and talk to your doctor about probiotics.

Changes in Diet:  If you plan to make major changes in your diet, being gradual will give your body time to adjust.

Travel:  Traveling exposes you to a whole new world of microorganisms that are not native to your home and work environment, which could affect your digestive balance.

Stress:  Stress reducing activities and a positive attitude can have a favorable effect on digestive health.

Age:  Digestive balance can change as you age.  Your beneficial flora (probiotics) decrease as you age. While there are many factors that could affect digestive balance, you may want to consider including probiotics in your personal wellness strategy.

NovaJoint™ contains three unique strains of beneficial flora to help support healthy intestinal balance.

What to Look for in a Probiotic Supplement

Can They Survive? 

Probiotic bacteria that don’t survive passage through your stomach, regardless of their numbers, will not be able to replicate and help balance your digestive tract.  Millions of probiotic flora in NovaJoint™ are designed to survive your stomach's highly acidic environment to arrive in your intestine viable and ready to help you maintain healthy digestive balance.

Will They Colonize? 

Even if probiotic flora manage to survive passage through the stomach and arrive in the GI tract alive, if they don't expand their colony, they won't be able to help balance your intestinal flora.  NovaJoint’s is formulated with patented probiocap® strains designed to survive and be healthy enough to begin multiplying after passage through your stomach. This helps you to maintain a healthy balance of intestinal flora.*

Can They Produce Lactic Acid? 

Production of the preferred L+ isomer of lactic acid is an important contribution of probiotics to help maintain a healthy digestive tract.  NovaJoint’s™ probiotics are selected meet this important criteria.*

Lunasin Peptide

I'm allergic to soy. Is consuming Lunasin a problem for people with an allergy to soy?

Unlikely, Lunasin is a small subunit of the 2S albumin fraction of soy and this fraction has been shown in a study* to not cause any allergic reaction in people with sensitivity to soy. (*Lin et al, The Potential Allergenicity of Two 2S Albumins from Soybean (Glycine Max): A Protein Microarray Approach; Int Arch of Allergy Immunol, 2006, 141:91-102.)

What's Special About Lunasin Peptide in Novajoint?

• It is derived from Non-GMO soy;
• it does not contain isoflavones which may interfere with hormone balance;
• it is unfermented (important if you are sensitive to tyramine); and
• it is so concentrated that NovaJoint provides the nutritional equivalent to the amount of natural Lunasin you would get from consuming up to 50g of soy protein.
