 WHAT IS Green Lipped Mussel& Vitamin C?

Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones and cartilage.

Green Lipped Mussel became of first interest when it was noticed that Maori living in coastal regions who regularly consumed these mussels were benefitting.

This shellfish is economically important to New Zealand. It differs from other mussel species in that it has a dark brown/green shell, a green lip around the edge of the shells and only has one abductor muscle. It is also one of the largest mussel species growing up to 240mm in length.

 How it works:

There is an active substance in green mussels called furan fatty acids, which are very effective but rare antioxidants.

Furan fatty acids are omega-3 fatty acids like those found in fish oil, which inhibit the 5-lipooxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways, and are similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, but do not have the side effects.  These blocked biochemical pathways are responsible for the production of leukotriene and prostaglandins, two chemicals that cause inflammation.

There are many health benefits of prebiotics.  A probiotic is a functional food or supplement that is consumed by the beneficial bacteria in the gut and helps improve the gut microbiome.  According to studies, green mussels act as a nutrient for the beneficial bacteria in the gut. When ingested, these beneficial bacteria are stimulated to produce short-chain fatty acids, which are substances that have many beneficial effects throughout the body.  This improved state helps the body reach homeostasis, or what is scientifically called homeostasis (internal homeostasis), allowing the body to function at an optimal level and reduce systemic infections.
