Green-lipped mussels are known for their beneficial properties for good joint health, as they contain omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans (GAGs). GAGs form part of the 'building blocks' of cartilage, so they help maintain healthy joints. Several studies show that green-lipped mussels have positive effects on relieving mobility-related ailments, such as osteoarthritis, and degenerative joint diseases.
Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties, meaning they can help reduce swelling and pain. In addition to the common fatty acids EPA and DHA, they also contain an omega-3 fatty acid found only in green-lipped mussels, eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA). ETA has been shown to block pain signals in the body similarly to NSAIDs, without causing side effects.
Here you can read a longer article about why omega-3 supplements are so important.
Other important nutrients found in green-lipped mussels are vitamins C and E, zinc, magnesium, copper, and selenium. It is also a natural source of taurine, making it a valuable dietary supplement for cats as well.
