Mussel Extraract for Arthritis?

Mussels à la marinière is a French dish of mussels steamed in white wine and herbs. Now we find that this shellfish isn’t only popular among gourmets but among the alternative health aficionados. Many people with osteo and rheumatoid arthritis have found that an extract from New Zealand’s green-lipped mussels (Perna canaliculus) is the greatest thing since condrite/glucosamine. This extract, called GlycoMarine, contains fatty acids and glycogen complexes that suppress inflammation, as well as glycosaminoglycans that facilitate cartilage regeneration and joint lubrication. The result is decreased pain and stiffness and increased mobility and function.

Green-lipped mussel extract has also been studied in animals with painful arthritis, hip dysplasia, and other joint diseases with excellent outcomes. And for the dog and cat lovers, many pet owners say that after taking VetBalance, a supplement for animals that contains GlycoMarine, dogs that were hobbled by arthritis became frisky again. To order VetBalance for your pets, call (800) 828-9067 or visit http://vetbalance.com. Look for GlycoMarine in health food stores. Do NOT take this supplement if you have a shellfish allergy.
