Green-lipped mussel capsules – the highest quality in a high dosage!

Science-Backed

The green-lipped mussel or greenshell mussel, which is similar to the common mussel, has presumably been used as food by the New Zealand Maori for thousands of years. New Zealand offers the ideal environmental conditions for green-lipped mussels, and is the only place where these molluscs occur in nature.  

Active ingredients in green-lipped mussel powder

The green-lipped mussel contains omega-3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans (GAG) and valuable minerals and trace elements such as sodium, potassium, calcium and silicon. 

Glycosaminoglycans are the body’s own building blocks of healthy joint cartilage, but can also be found in connective tissue. They are responsible for the high viscosity of the synovial fluid.  

The glycosaminoglycans contained in the green-lipped mussel are nutrients that can be used particularly well in the context of joint metabolism, as they exhibit a high affinity to the basic building blocks of synovial fluid and joint cartilage. As early as 1998, a study indicated that green-lipped mussel powder and green-lipped mussel extract could provide support for joint problems. [1] 

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids and fulfill a variety of functions in the body. In the green-lipped mussel, Australian scientists have identified unique, previously unknown omega-3 fatty acids.
