Eggshell membrane membrane is derived commercially from the eggshells of industrial egg processors. In the United States, egg-breaking facilities generate more than 24 billion broken eggshells every year. There are various ways in which the membrane of an eggshell is separated from the shell, including chemical, mechanical, steam, and vacuum processes: see Eggshell and protein membrane separation. It may be prepared for use as a dietary supplement. The isolated membrane is partially hydrolyzed and dried to produce a powder, that is distributed as eggshell membrane (EM) for use as a dietary supplement.
