Your Safe Alternative for Joint and Arthritis Pain Relief 

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is the pain and stiffness of one or more of the joints in your body caused by chronic swelling from either wear and tear from years of use or disease like autoimmune disorder. It is commonly found in adults over the age of 65 but can also develop in children, teens, and younger adults as well as overweight individuals. More women suffer from arthritis than men. There are hundreds of types of arthritis but the most common are are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA)

Why is Green-lipped Mussel Used for Arthritis and Joint Pain Relief?

The New Zealand green-lipped mussel’s extract has been found to have anti-inflammatory properties that help reduce joint inflammation and help relieve other arthritis symptoms like pain and stiffness.The oil extracts from green-lipped mussels contain essential omega-3 fatty acids that are found to help with joint pain relief by reducing the inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis. The two most important fatty acids found are eicosapentaenoic acid (ETA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) which have been studied to provide effective reduction in the inflammation of joints caused by arthritis.ETA’s anti-inflammatory effect is thought to be, in many cases, comparable to over-the-counter drugs such as Paracetamol. Thus, green-lipped mussel oil which contains this unique omega-3 ETA is widely sought after as an alternative source for treatment of OA and RA.
