Company Description

We believe in the power of whole food nutrition and the importance of reducing food waste in as many ways as possible. We act on those beliefs by sourcing our ingredients from the waste stream of commercial food production and studying the health benefits that come from them. Biova provides water-soluble eggshell membrane (WSEM) ingredients to the dietary supplement, skin care and pet care industries. Eggshell membrane is a unique ingredient that provides many of the fundamental building blocks for supporting skin and joint health. Naturally occurring compounds include collagen, elastin, glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid, protein, and a variety of amino acids – all from one source in nature. These compounds work together to support healthy joints, and healthy skin. Our patented manufacturing process produces water-soluble ingredients, which mean expanded delivery options for formulators. Because you get so many beneficial compounds from one ingredient, there is no need to try to fit multiple ingredients in one formulation. Biova’s ingredients can be incorporated into traditional tablets and capsules as well as gummies, chews, beverages, stick packs, chocolates, bars, powders, etc. We work with some of the largest egg production facilities in the US. Through the removal of the membrane, the remaining eggshell is then easier to process into calcium supplementation for feed and fertilizer. Biova’s commitment to sustainability helps to keep over 2 billion eggshells from landfills per year. Biova’s patented ingredients offer clinically proven health benefits: BiovaFlex® supports joint health in humans; BiovaDerm® is used as a topical ingredient for youthful looking skin; BiovaBIO® (Beauty-Inside-Out) supports skin health through nutritional support; and BiovaPlex® provides healthy joint and coat support for companion animals.
