Eggshell membrane: the surprising new skin supplement?
NCT ID NCT06148337
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether taking a daily eggshell membrane supplement (uESM) could improve skin elasticity, hydration, and barrier function in 63 healthy adults aged 35-70. Participants took either the supplement or a placebo for a period, and skin measurements were taken using a special device. The goal was to see if this natural ingredient could help protect skin from aging and environmental damage.
What this could mean

What this could lead to
