Eggshell Membrane (Ovomet®) - HSN Development
Eggshell Membrane (Ovomet®) 300mg from EssentialSeries is a dietary supplement in vegetable capsules developed using the patented ingredient under the brand Ovomet®, which is undenatured eggshell membrane with a wide spectrum of natural bioactives from this structure.
Eggshell membrane is a recognized source of multiple compounds native to the egg, which are of nutritional interest to humans for their use as a dietary supplement as it provides different types of collagens, enzymes, and other compounds. Scientific research on this ingredient has been steadily growing for over a decade.
The HSN formula is suitable for vegetarian diets, as despite the main raw material containing egg, the rest of the formula does not contain animal ingredients, including the capsules, which are vegetable-based and gelatin-free.

Supply of undenatured collagens type I, V, and X
According to certified measurements by Eggnovo, the developer of Ovomet®, its eggshell membrane contains over 400 different proteins as established by their proteomic studies.
Among them are the native collagens of the egg membrane, including subtypes:
- Type I Collagen.
- Type V Collagen.
- Type X Collagen.
These collagens are present in a native and undenatured form thanks to Ovomet®'s patented development process, without the use of solvents.
Supply of important biomolecules: Hyaluronic acid and elastin
Ovomet® also contains other compounds naturally present in the eggshell membrane, which is a residual ingredient in traditional food consumption, and is of significant interest as a dietary supplement, especially for athletes and elderly individuals.
Each capsule of eggshell membrane from HSN provides 300mg of Ovomet®, which equates to the supply of:
- 75mg of elastin.
- 9mg of hyaluronic acid.
All of this is naturally and native to the eggshell membrane, not added.
Learn more about Ovomet® and Eggnovo - Spanish Origin Innovation
Ovomet® is eggshell membrane, developed through a processing system patented by Eggnovo, its creator.
Eggnovo is a Spanish company that focuses on developing nutraceuticals from eggs, a naturally rich source of a broad spectrum of compounds of significant nutritional interest. Eggnovo's commitment is to combine nature, sustainability, science, and health.
The Navarrese company has been working in this sector for over a decade, and its association with the commitment to scientific research in the field of nutritional ingredients is admirable. At HSN, we have chosen Ovomet® for being a national product, an international reference, in the field of dietary supplements.
HSN Formula with Vitamin C to Enhance Natural Collagen Synthesis
However, our R&D team at HSN has not settled for that. We have improved the product formula, not only by using a vegetable capsule instead of an animal one, or by using the least amount and variety of additives possible, which is part of our 'clean label' product development philosophy, but also nutritionally.
We have added 100% of the recommended daily intake of vitamin C: 80mg.
Vitamin C is an important cofactor limiting various enzymes involved in the endogenous synthesis of collagen, which is an important protein for maintaining structures primarily composed of it, such as the skin, hair, teeth, or joint cartilage.
Vitamin C contributes to the normal formation of collagen for the normal function of bones and cartilage.
Source of Sustainable Vegetarian Collagen. Preserved Natural Structure and Composition
Collagen is an exclusively animal protein, as we have pointed out in our blog why you shouldn't look for vegan collagen, because it doesn't exist.
However, traditional collagen is not suitable for vegetarian or vegan diets. Moreover, given its origin (connective tissue of animals, usually pigs or cattle), even when following the highest guarantees of sustainable environmental maintenance and animal welfare, the ingredient is involved in processes of the meat industry, something that many consumers want to avoid due to their moral stance regarding the sector in general.
The collagen provided by eggshell membrane is obtained through the use of recycled eggshells, in a way not associated with the meat industry, neither directly nor indirectly, which certifies the sustainability of raw material sourcing.
Find Ovomet in HSN's Joint Care - Formula for Joints
Ovomet® is not a new raw material for us, as we have previously used it in formulas that make sense for its use, such as Joint Care.
Joint Care * is an exclusive formula from HSN aimed at joint care * that you won't find in other brands, and which is developed from a wide spectrum of undenatured collagens, from the patents Ovomet® and UC-II®.
In addition to other relevant compounds, such as Boswellia serrata Boswellin® extracts, BioPerine® black pepper extract, and manganese.
Other Ideal Supplements to Combine with Eggshell Membrane
Eggshell membrane can be used in combination with any dietary supplement, traditionally used in combination with other compounds commonly used by athletes interested in joint care, such as:
