No, eggshell membranes contain substances like glucosamine and hyaluronic acid which improve joint elasticity and shock absorption.(2) this makes them ideal for fighting off conditions that affect the joints, ensuring they are kept as fully-functioning as possible. Eating eggshells has also been linked to quickly decreasing pain in those afflicted with joint problems and keeping that pain away as time goes on.
