Eggshell membrane

Eggshell membrane or shell membrane is the clear film lining eggshells, visible when one peels a boiled egg. Chicken eggshell membranes are used as a dietary supplement.

Composition

Eggshell membrane is primarily composed of fibrous proteins such as collagen type I.[1] Eggshell membranes also contain glycosaminoglycans, such as dermatan sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and sulfated glycoproteins including hexosamines, such as glucosamine. Other components identified in eggshell membranes are hyaluronic acid, sialic acid, desmosine, isodesmosine, ovotransferrin, lysyl oxidase, lysozyme, and β-N-acetylglucosaminidase.[2]

Sources for dietary supplement production

Eggshell 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.[3] There are various ways in which the membrane of an eggshell is separated from the shell, including chemical, mechanical, steam, and vacuum processes. For its use as a dietary supplement, the isolated membrane is then partially hydrolyzed and dried to produce a powder.

gollark: I don't think there are any wordpress-specific issues as long as the rest of your config is right.
gollark: Well, what didn't work, then?
gollark: They aren't that hard. You just use `server_name` in the `server` block.
gollark: Not specifically wordpress, no.
gollark: I would probably use nginx, because I'm used to it and it has nicer configuration:```nginxhttp { # whatever important configuration you have for all HTTP servers, `nginx.conf` probably ships with some # fallback in case someone visits with an unrecognized Host header server { listen 80 default_server; listen [::]:80 default_server; return 301 http://somedomain$request_uri; } server { listen 80; # you may (probably do) want HTTPS instead, in which case this bit is somewhat different - you need to deal with certs and stuff, and use port 443 - also you should probably add HTTP/2 listen [::]:80; # IPv6 server_name domain1.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend1:8080/; } } server { listen 80; listen [::]:80; server_name domain2.com; location / { proxy_pass http://backend2:8080/; } }}```
