Green Lipped Mussels have been eaten by coastal dwelling Maori for centuries. It was only in the 1970’s that people began to take notice of the fact that the coastal dwellers who included these particular mussels as a regular part of their diet, had a much lower incidence of arthritis than their in-land dwelling counterparts and began to investigate the amazing health benefits of this special little mollusc.
Where Does Green Lipped Mussel Extract Come From?
Green-Lipped Mussel Extract originates exclusively from a unique species of mussel called ‘Perna Canaliculus’ which are native only to NZ waters.
These special mussels are farmed using sustainable technology in the protected, unspoilt waters of Marlborough Sounds.
State of the art facilities and the latest technology are used during the cold extraction process to retain all the delicate nutrients found within the mussel meat and to ensure the highest natural levels of active ingredients are elicited every time.
