Description
Pets experience body joint issues with some displaying symptoms such as reluctance to rise, lameness, reduced mobility, among other symptoms. Due to the side effects experienced from the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDS) drugs when treating osteoarthritis in pets, there has been mounting interest in nutraceuticals of which the green-lipped mussel (GLM) is one.
What are Green-Lipped Mussels?
The green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is native to the New Zealand coast. It has a bright green stripe around the its shell and a distinctive green lip on the inside of the shell.
Green lipped mussels have always been used by the Maori, a Polynesian people in New Zealand. And scientists soon noticed that the Maori people living on the coast had much lower rates of arthritis compared to inland Maori people.
What are the Benefits of Green-Lipped Mussels?
As the mussels are a natural sea-water filter, they retain a huge number of potent nutrients and minerals, including:
- Omega-3 fatty acids
- Vitamins and minerals such as zinc, copper, iodine, and manganese among others
- Amino acids
- Enzymes
- Antioxidants
- Glucosamine and chondroitin
Most pet owners have an idea of how vital omega-3 fatty acids are to their pet’s health and especially the joints, which is why they use fish oil. While fish oil has only two kinds of omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), green-lipped mussels have a third one called ETA. This is a rare form of omega-3 fatty acids which lowers the production of cyclooxygenase, an enzyme which causes inflammation. This results in less pain, less inflammation, and improved mobility for your pet.
