✔ Rich in amino acids and glucosamine
✔ Trusted by thousands of customers
✔ 100% natural and without artificial additives
New Zealand Green Lipped Mussels contain glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) as well as high levels of unsaturated fatty acids. Animals are often not capable of producing the required quantities of GAGs on their own, and so the supplementation of GAGs provides long-term benefits to support joints and tendons.
Green Lipped Mussels also contain a fatty acid called ETA, which decreases the production of cyclooxygenase, an enzyme causing inflammation. This results in less pain, less inflammation, and improved mobility for your pet.
The mussels are also a rich source of glucosamine and chondroitin, vitamins C and E, antioxidants, and minerals such as copper, zinc, and selenium, all of which are vital to your pet’s joint health.
Our Green Lipped Mussels come from a licensed marine farm in New Zealand. There, the mussels are processed as a whole by gentle freeze-drying. This process ensures that the original nutrients are almost completely preserved. We are not extracting any powder obtained, so that our product retains a higher fat content of 8%. A high fat content is considered a quality feature, as it also ensures high content of essential omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which is what makes our Green Lipped Mussel powder so effective. This product is free from any artificial additives, fillers or cereals.

Our green-lipped product is suitable for both dogs and cats in all variations. However, due to the feeding quantity, we recommend purchasing smaller package sizes of green-lipped mussel powder for cats and smaller dogs.
Note: Store in a cool, dry, and light-protected place. Delivery includes a practical dosing spoon.
Continuous administration is advisable as the nutrients are constantly required. Alternatively, the powder can be administered 1 to 3 times a year for 8 to 10 weeks at a time.
If dosed correctly, as recommended by us, an overdose of green-lipped mussel powder is unlikely. To avoid an accidental overdose, read our feeding recommendations.
The powder can be given preventatively to promote joint health or on veterinary recommendation for joint complaints to improve mobility.
In principle, you can give green-lipped mussel powder together with other food supplements. However, we recommend that you speak to your vet beforehand if you are unsure whether interactions with other medications could occur. In this way, you can rule out the possibility of problems resulting from joint administration.
Yes, green-lipped mussel powder is generally suitable for dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. In puppies or pregnant animals, it should only be administered after consultation with a vet or veterinary practitioner. It is also advisable to seek prior veterinary advice for older or sick animals with specific health problems.
The onset of effect varies from pet to pet. Some pet owners report improvements after just a few days of regular administration. For other animals, it can take a few weeks before the effect becomes noticeable.
Normally, green-lipped mussel powder and the ingredients it contains are well tolerated by four-legged friends. Only in very rare cases do slight digestive problems occur.
