New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel helps reduce joint pain and inflammation in joints

Green-lipped Mussels (Perna canaliculus ) are found only in New Zealand’s pristine waters. The term green-lipped doesn’t actually refer to lips, but to the colour of the edge of the shell which has a green tinge. The powdered extract of Green-lipped Mussels contains very high concentrations of omega-3s and a unique combination of fatty acids that is not found in any other marine or plant life.

Omega-3 fatty acids are very important for your health. Eating whole foods that are rich in omega-3s, like fatty fish is the best way to get enough. If you don’t eat a lot of fatty fish, you may want to consider taking a Plantonin Green Lipped Mussel. While fish oil contains two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids being Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA), the green-lipped mussel also contains a third called Eicosatetraenoic Acid (ETA). While all omega-3 fatty acids have the ability to reduce inflammation by blocking the enzymes (lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase) that contribute to it, ETA is a rare form that goes one step further: it actually works at the gene level to lower the production of cyclooxygenase. This means less inflammation, less pain, and more mobility for your canine companion.

  • Is effective in reducing pain and inflammation in joints
