Green lipped Mussel Powder capsules 500mg
Green Lipped Mussels capsules contains a rich blend of natural proteins, minerals and
mucopolysaccharides also known as glycosaminoglycans and five kinds of essential Omega-3 fatty acids such as ALA,EPA, DHA, ETA,
OTA, all of which are necessarily for the human body. These naturally occurring Mussel Extract substances are increasingly being
recognised as helping joint mobility, cartilage maintenance, good health and general well-being. Green-lipped mussels contain
a unique combination of fatty acids that are not found in any other marine or plant life. One of these acids, glycosaminoglycan,
can assist in the repair of damaged joint tissues. Studies have also found that Green Lipped mussel inhibits the 5-lipoxygenase
pathway, which leads to the formation of leukotrienes. Many of the products of these pathways have inflammation-supporting properties.
Green lip mussel inhibits inflammation in the body. Although inflammation is normal under certain conditions, consistent or
excessive inflammation can result in pain and damage to the body, including the joints. The human body makes several chemical
mediators of inflammation. Levels of these chemicals in the body may be higher in people with rheumatoid arthritis who are experiencing
symptoms than in symptom-free people with arthritis. Evidence indicates that controlling the production of inflammatory mediators
in the body may help improve conditions such as arthritis, asthma, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease (including ulcerative
colitis and Crohn’s disease), all of which involve elements of inflammation. The Omega 3 fatty acids can also play a great roll
in control of bad cholesterol levels in the blood as well as maintaining the blood sugar levels, which greatly benefits diabetics
and assists in weight loss. Another great benefit may be the improvement in mental ability.
Where do we source our Green lipped
mussel?
Green Lipped Mussels are found along the New Zealand Coast. The mussels feed on phytoplanktons, which produce anti-oxidants,
and anti-inflammatory substances, which are present in the mussels as well as rich minerals the mussels, take in from the surrounding
seawater. The deep, clean and cool waters of the Marlborough Sounds, which is situated in the top of the South Island of New
Zealand, provide an ideal environment for raising mussels from spat through to harvest, with sound cultivation methods ensuring they
grow quickly and are sand and grit-free. Shellfish health and seawater purity are rigorously monitored, and the various companies
and farmers have adopted an environmental code of practice, which ensures the safety of the area's unspoilt beauty.
Production
method
During production of our Green Lipped Mussel powder, we use low temperature processing to protect the sensitive
Omega 3 fatty acids. Laboratory tests have shown that this low temperature processing has produced 1.4 times greater amounts
of Omega -3 oils, when compared with product prepared in the usual manner using high heat to separate the shuck. Our Green Lipped
mussels are sourced from the New Zealand Ministry of Fisheries approved growing areas under strict quality supervision
