Why Should You Take A Green

Lipped Mussel Supplement?

Let’s be honest, the ancient indigenous Maori people of New Zealand had incredibly low incidences of joint pain, no recorded arthritis, and likely were amongst the healthiest people around – and they didn’t take a green lipped  mussel supplement.

Of course, they didn’t need to – they had fresh, raw green lipped mussels growing on the sea all around them, just waiting to be harvested.

Fast forward to the 1970s, and the first realisation that green lipped mussels contained enough nutrients for scientists to begin referring to them as a ‘whole food’.

Nutritionally, this is a bog statement, as it means that the mussel meat contains many of the minerals, vitamins and complex chemicals that are vital to human life; hence the interest in creating a green lipped mussel supplement to take advantage of these unique shellfish.

 

What Can a Green Lipped Mussel Supplement do for Me?

If you are one of the millions of asthma, arthritis or swollen joint sufferers in the world, then there is likely to be a green lipped mussel supplement that can help relieve the pain and discomfort. This is down to the unique mix of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to reduce inflammation caused by the secretion of liquids in the body.

Both asthma and joint swelling have their root causes in this production of liquid that is designed to help deal with a bacterial infection or damage in the cells, but which, in chronic cases, is an over-reaction that can be inhibited by certain chemicals. The green lipped mussel supplement is a natural, non-steroid, way to do this.

Inflammation based symptoms were the first target for green lipped mussel supplement manufacturers, and they succeeded in making an extract that was shown to be effective; it was briefly considered as a cure for cancer, too, but clinical trials showed that while it was a good anti-inflammatory agent, it couldn’t cure cancer.

Then, someone noticed that the extracts were, due to the process being used, leaving many nutrients behind. The whole food that NASA had originally identified in the 1960s was being rendered down into a targeted supplement, for one specific market.

The truth is, everyone can benefit from a green lipped mussel supplement.

The chemical components of the mussel, including the lipids that get cooked out when heat is applied in the extraction process, can provide benefits for everyone:

• As a way to remove free radicals that destroy cells;

• To boost the immune, circulatory, and nervous systems;

• Contribute to healthier skin, teeth, and bones;

• Even improve fertility!

These stem from the unique mix of mucopolysaccharides, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins, minerals and trace metals that make up the meat of this remarkable shellfish.

Getting the Most Out of a Green Lipped Mussel Supplement

However, it takes a special process to keep the mucopolysaccharides (MPS’s) intact, and not cook them out. Many processes throw away 90% of the mussel meat in the cooking water, but Maxalife uses a low heat process that keeps that 90% in.

The result is a complete green lipped mussel supplement that can be used on a daily basis by both sufferers of joint pain, and asthma, as well as being used to boost the body, and prevent symptoms occurring.

Maxalife also go one step further, by selecting mussels from the cleanest water, thereby ensuring that their green lipped mussel supplement is of the highest quality.

The product is – Maxalife Green Lipped Mussel Powder.
