Green Lipped Mussels are rich in minerals, essential amino acids, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), chondroitin and omega 3 fatty acids.4 The omega 3 fatty acids are believed to be responsible for the anti-inflammatory properties, which have an action similar to Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs)2,3, while the GAG’s are believed to help rebuild the cartilage.

This makes Green Lipped Mussel beneficial in mild osteoarthritis, a condition where people suffer from painful, swollen joints and have a limited range of motion. Around 2.1 million or 1 in 11 Australians suffer from osteoarthritis, but this number increases with age: 1 in 5 over the age of 45 and 1 in 3 over the age of 80 suffer from osteoarthritis.5

A 2012-study showed that joint pain and stiffness decreased and mobility improved by 49% after taking Green Lipped Mussel for 8 weeks.1
