topicEggshell Membrane Joint Health Randomized Trial
claimResults ESMP inhibited IL-1β-induced NF-κB p65 nuclear translocation and reduced the IL-1β-induced increases in interleukin-6 (IL-6), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and matrix metalloproteinase-13 (MMP-13) at both mRNA and protein levels.
