Did you know that you can buy green lipped mussel for pets? Yes, this type of supplements can work health wonders for pets just as they have long been known to do for humans. It only makes sense, after all. "People food" such as red meat and eggs help with pets' health. Why wouldn't the fantastic "super food" of green lipped mussels do the same?
You see, our pets such as our dogs and cats have similar health problems to humans in many ways.
One of those health problems has to do with the deterioration of the joints that comes with aging. The wear and tear of life gets the best of our joints after enough time. Human joints become more easily inflamed and the cartilage around the joints wears thinner and weaker with the passage of the years. And, the same is true for our beloved pets.
But with the supplementation of green lipped mussel for pets, this process can be slowed, or even halted and reversed. This type of mussels can work this anti-aging magic in humans, and they do the same for our pets.
The secret is Glycosaminoglycans
Glycosaminoglycans are abundant in greenshell mussels. These are bio-chemicals that have been called "the glue of life". They prevent the aging and deterioration of the body's cells. If the cells of the body aren't deteriorating, then the body's joints can keep on doing what they always did in youth: quickly recover from and repair injury or inflammation. These amazing shellfish also contain other important minerals and healthy fatty acids that keep joints supple.
Processing technology
The process of extracting the glycosaminoglycans from green lipped mussels in the form of powder transforms those compounds into glucosamine and chondroitin. These are quite well-known as compounds that can reverse joint damage and cure and prevent joint inflammation in humans who are over the age of 40. A powder-supplement of green lipped mussel for pets has the same healing powers in pets.
Backed by research
In a research paper titled "Influence of Green Lipped Mussels in Alleviating Signs of Arthritis in Dogs", we find this quote:
"Results of this study provide strong evidence that [green lipped mussels], incorporated into a complete dry diet, can help alleviate arthritic symptoms in dogs. Further studies will help determine whether dietary supplementation with GLM can reduce or eliminate the need for conventional medical therapy in arthritic dogs".
This research complements other research on the efficacy of feeding green lipped mussels supplements to pets in order to alleviate their joint and tendon problems that come with aging.
What I recommend
Probably the best brand of mussel powder supplement is Xtend Life. This company, which is in New Zealand, selects only the very "most pure" green lipped mussels (just 0.1% of all available green lipped mussels), and then uses a proprietary process to extract the powder from a mussel and contain it within only 30 minutes. This selective process and processing speed are vitally important to preserving the nutrients contained in the mussels. No other maker of these supplements follows this process. Thus, the Xtend Life powder can be assumed to be the most potent of all brands'.
If you have an aging beloved pet with noticeable joint problems, try out a supplemental powder of green lipped mussel for pets. It may be the cure that your companion longs for.
