GREEN LIPPED MUSSEL BENEFITS

 

 

 

New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels benefits have proven to restore whole body health.

 

Green Lipped Mussels are found in the pristine waters of New Zealand and are a traditional food that was eaten mainly by the Maori (New Zealand indigenous people) a hundred years ago.

 

The Maoris found that the Green Lipped Mussels seem to be very beneficial to their entire health.  Scientific research and studies have confirmed that there are incredible health benefits when consuming this all natural food in a powder form.

 

Green Lipped Mussels contain the amino acids glutamine and methionine, vitamins E and C and minerals such as zinc, copper and manganese.  Other mineral salts and beneficial trace minerals are also in this wonder food.

 

In addition these mussels are jam packed with a rare combination of proteins, lipids, omega 3 fatty acids and complex carbonhydrates.  Also a high quality of natural mucopolysaccharides (commonly referred to as MPS) or Glycosaminoglycans (commonly referred to as GAGS) is found in Green Lipped Mussels.

 

MPS and GAGS are groups of carbohydrates that are very important to maintain optimal health and provide vital nutrition for our body. 

 

5 Fantastic Health Benefits Of The Greenshell Mussels

 

There have been many studies conducted on Greenshell mussels over the years and these studies seem to be continuously discovering new health benefits.

Some of the main benefits that have been found include their ability to help treat patients who suffer from arthritis. This is due to the vast amount of rare Omega-3 fatty acids that they contain which have huge anti-inflammatory benefits.

Other health benefits come from the wide-range of nutrients that the Greenshell mussels contain. Often called the green lipped mussel, these large shellfish are native to New Zealand and are distinguished by their noticeable green markings on the edge of their shell.

So let’s take a look at the top 5 health benefits that your animal can experience!

 

Inflammation

Not many people are aware of this, but inflammation is a leading cause of conditions such as heart disease. It is also the main underlying cause of arthritis and joint pain.

Greenshell mussels have the ability to reduce inflammation throughout the body, much more so than normal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin.The reason the anti-inflammatory properties are so huge is down to a rare Omega-3 fat called ETA which interacts with metabolic pathways in the body and inhibits inflammatory compounds.

The mussels are also a great source of both DHA and EPA which are other very beneficial fatty acids. We have all had a pet that is getting on in years and to see them in pain when they go to get up is hard to watch.  Our product may help ease this pain and give your pet a better quality of life in their later years.

 

Anti Aging Benefits

The leading cause of premature aging is due to the build up of free radical toxins in the body that cause damage to cells. When cells become damaged they are unable to repair themselves and this then speeds up the aging process.

The Greenshell mussels contain compounds which keep cells and tissues throughout the body healthy and ward of any threatening free radicals.

 

Brain And Heart Health

The DHA and EPA fatty acids are essential for a healthy brain and cardiovascular system. DHA is found naturally in the brain and is required to keep brain cells healthy and neurological pathways sending signals to other parts of the body. 

The EPA in the Greenshell mussels helps to benefit the heart by reducing unhealthy cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood which have been liked to cardiovascular disease.

 

Conditioning Joints

The mussels also contain a group of complex carbohydrates known as glycosaminoglycans, which the body uses to repair and recondition joint cartilage which has become damaged through normal wear and tear.

Drugs that the Veterinarians give to reduce inflammation and provide pain relief are not able to help repair the joints.
