Benefits of Green Lipped Mussels On Pet Joints

2 mins to read
If your pet suffers from arthritis, then relief for their sore joints may come from an unlikely source - the ocean. A humble shellfish (the New Zealand green lipped mussel) is rich in fatty acids which are proven to help relieve the pain and inflammation of arthritis. Find out how this little mussel can provide big benefits for your pet's joints.


The mussel with muscles when it comes to arthritis relief

They say good things come in small packages, and the green lipped mussel is no exception. This little shellfish is packed with a unique combination of arthritis-fighting ingredients, such as essential omega-3 fatty acids (including EPA, DHA and a rare fatty acid called ETA) plus glucosamine and chondroitin (two of the key building blocks of cartilage and bones).

These ingredients help to fight arthritis in 4 important ways:

  1. 1. Quickly relieves joint pain
  2. 2. Reduces inflammation
  3. 3. Stimulates cartilage production
  4. 4. Protects cartilage from damage

Extract can boost effectiveness of other arthritis medicines

Green lipped mussel is best used in conjunction with other treatments prescribed by your veterinarian, such as pain relieving medicines or anti-inflammatory drugs. In fact, giving your pet green lipped mussel may make it possible to reduce the dose of arthritis medicines, which can lower the risk of side effects from these strong drugs.

Good quality mussels

Processing green lipped mussels without destroying the active ingredients takes a gentle touch. If there is a delay between harvesting and manufacturing, or if the mussels are steamed open to get the flesh out, the active ingredients lose some of their potency. So unless a product has been manufactured in the right way, your pet may not be getting all the benefits nature intended.
