Why Take This Product?
New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels (Perna Canaliculus)
Because it is so abundant and vital to our planet, the sea has always been a rich and bountiful source of life. It is in the clean, unpolluted waters of New Zealand that the unique Greenshell™ Mussel is grown. Often referred to as the sea’s ‘nutritional storehouse’, the remarkable New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussel thrives by feeding on algae, phytoplankton and natural organic matter carried to them by the ocean currents.
The New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussel concentrates all the natural nutrients and its goodness from the crystal clear waters of New Zealand into a perfectly balanced combination, in a way that only Mother Nature can. These include a broad spectrum of natural vitamins, minerals, high quality proteins, many amino acids including all the essential and the most important of them all, marine glycosaminoglycan (GAG).
Key Components
Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) “The Glue of Life”
Researchers have found that New Zealand Greenshell™ Mussels are rich in glycosaminoglycan (GAG). Scientists have long known the vital role that glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) play in the production and maintenance of the body’s living tissues in both man and animals. These complex carbohydrates provide essential structural components for the cell walls, mucous membranes and the connective tissue of bones, teeth, tendons and cartilage.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have many health benefits, including heart health and skin and coat development. Among these omega-3 fatty acids the EPA and DHA are more important and are found in marine oils. Some studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids improved the locomotor disability and the daily performance activities of dogs.
