The green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) has been cultured for over 30 years in the ecologically intact and clean water of New Zealand. The green-lipped mussel that is cultivated in New Zealand belongs to the family of the blue mussels.The Maoris, the indigenous population of New Zealand like to eat these mussels. The Maoris of the past hardly ever had problems with their joints.
The meat of these green lipped mussels contains a high percentage of glycosaminoglycan (GAG). This provides the nutrients necessary for healthy joints by nourishing the cartilage, synovial fluid and other connective tissues.
As a person ages, his body becomes less able to produce the GAGs which he needs for his joints to function optimally. A need can exist with high strain on the joints through sports, temporary wearout and overweight. Eating food or food supplements that contain GAG, such as our Green-lipped mussel concentrate capsules is therefore an excellent method of keeping joints functioning optimally.
Each capsule contains 350 mg of pure Green-lipped mussel-concentrate in premium quality plus Vitamin C, E, B6, B12 and Folic acid - a food supplement with extract from the green-lipped mussel, rich in polyunsaturated omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminglycans (GAGs), which are supplied for connective tissue metabolism. The addition of vitamins E, C, B6, B12 and folic acid which are important for numerous cell functions makes the capsules even more beneficial.
