Sanderson Green-Lipped Mussel extract comes from sustainably harvested mussels grown in the pristine waters of New Zealand’s Marlborough Sounds. Unique to New Zealand, the green-lipped mussel provides a complete joint food; the stabilised powder extract in this product is a naturally balanced combination of Omega 3 essential fatty acids, Glycosaminoglycans, amino acids, chelated minerals and Chondroitin Sulphates 4 & 6. Glycosaminoglycans (CAGS) are principal components of cartilage and the synovial fluid found in joints. These CAGS support flexibility, elasticity and tensile strength in articular cartilage, promoting mobility. Research indicates Omega 3 essential fatty acids in GLM may inhibit pro-inflammatory compounds in the body known as eicosanoids, which supports joint comfort and promotes well-being.
