Egg Yolk Compound Shows Promise in Osteoporosis Management

Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

• Egg yolk proteins influence bone health by reducing bone breakdown and encouraging new bone growth, offering natural support against osteoporosis
• Research shows that certain egg yolk compounds shut down harmful “switches” in bone-destroying cells, helping prevent fractures and bone fragility
• The smallest protein fragments in eggs were found to be the most powerful, easily entering cells to trigger bone-building activity
• One egg yolk compound not only protected bones but also repaired fractures and improved strength in models of age-related bone loss and brittle-bone disease
• Choosing pasture-raised, low-linoleic acid eggs and combining them with collagen-rich foods and key nutrients like vitamin D, magnesium, and vitamin K2 helps build stronger bones and maintain independence as you age
