Hi Japie, thanks for your encouragement. I took a few photos at the fish bazaar and plan to post some later on. I also looked up "NZ Green Tipped Mussels" on Google and I will add it to the notes on my photo. Here is what I found:
The New Zealand Green-lipped Mussels have long been known for their ability to help keep joints supple and mobile. This is because they're a rich source of Omega-3 Polyunsaturated fatty acids including (Eicosatetranoic Acid). They are also a good source of naturally occurring glucosamine and chondroitin.
Where is it found? Green-lipped mussels are found in the oceans off New Zealand. In supplement form, green-lipped mussel is available as a lipid extract or a freeze-dried powder. Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a New Zealand shellfish, from which an extract has been shown to be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. Green-lipped mussel inhibits inflammation in the body. Although inflammation is normal under certain conditions, consistent or excessive inflammation can result in pain and damage to the body, including the joints.
Green Lipped Mussels are harvested from unpolluted New Zealand sea waters and processed in their pure, natural and raw state, producing high quality material uncontaminated by bacteria, toxins, or heavy metals. The mussels are freeze dried to protect the enzymes. |
