Green Lipped Mussel

Green Lipped Mussels grow in the clean waters of New Zealand and provide an extract of the highest quality. The unique constituents of this product can help maintain the mobility of joints. Green Lipped Mussel contains many vitamins, especially the B. complex group and a broad range of minerals and trace elements. It is also rich in omega 3 fatty acids, protein, provides essential amino acids and is an excellent well balanced nutritious dietary supplement.

In a recent clinical trial Green Lipped Mussel extract was effective at reducing symptoms in 70% of people with Osteoarthritis and 76% of people with Rheumatoid arthritis. A similar study of people with either OA or RA showed Green Lipped Mussel reduced pain in 50% and 67% of the patients, respectively, after three months of supplementation.

The pain and stiffness associated with arthritis is commonly treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, one of the most common side-effects of which are gastric disorders i.e. the irritation of the stomach and upsetting of the digestive system. We feel green lipped mussel is the perfect ‘natural’ alternative for combating joint problems.
