Green Lipped Mussel Story - making a joint health supplement

After harvesting, the mussels are removed from their shells and powdered in a purpose-built extraction plant. We freeze dry the mussel meat at a controlled temperature to maintain the integrity of the bioactive compounds and ensure the stability of the nutrient content.

Found only in the pristine waters of the New Zealand coastline, Green Lipped Mussel (GLM) first caught the attention of researchers when they observed that osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis were virtually non-existent among the indigenous coastal Maori population. Not only were Maori elders free of the degenerative joint diseases common amongst Western Cultures, they could still perform even the most rigorous of physical tasks – right into old age. Modern science has now proven the efficacy of Green Lipped Mussel in relieving arthritic pain.

The mussels for our Green Lipped Mussel products in our  are sustainably sourced from marine farms in the pristine Marlborough Sounds and all our supplements are batch tested and verified to ensure the highest standards of quality. We use a range of extraction processes to produce the raw ingredients for our products.

Each extraction process is designed to preserve nutrient content, ensuring that our products contain the highest levels of Omega 3 Fatty Acids, Glycosaminoglycans and Chondroitin.
