What is it?
- A shellfish commercially harvested in New Zealand.
- A nutritional whole food that possesses an exceptional degree of biological activity.
Main Uses:
- Helps maintain mobility of joints as Green-lipped mussel inhibits inflammation in the body.
- Researchers from Australia’s RMIT University and SGE International Pty Ltd, report that novel omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids extracts from the green-lipped mussel (Perna Canaliculus) inhibited leukotriene and cyclo-oxygenase (COX) activity, both of which are involved in the inflammatory process.
- 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.
- Rather recently, a body of scientists realized that green lipped mussel extract contained a high amount of lipids and the essential fatty acid, omega-3.
- Mussels also contain high levels of iron, betaine, and Chondroitin sulphate, and these substances are retained in the de-lipidated powder so even less potent supplements do provide a health benefit.
