Benefits of Adding Eggshell to Your Diet

7. Rebuild Cartilage

Doctors have had success using eggshell membranes to reduce arthritis pain and increase joint flexibility. The membrane -- taken from the inside skin of the shell and chock full of fibrous protein --  is processed to an extremely high potency, so it likely cannot be replicated at home. Picking up a supplement and taking it regularly could serve to rebuild cartilage ravaged by arthritic aches and pains.
