Our SecretEssentially Yours Joint Care is a potent combination of Glucosamine Sulphate, Green Lipped Mussel and Shark Cartilage sourced from the clean, blue waters of New Zealand. It is a powerful, high dosage joint formulation, that combines amazing New Zealand, marine based ingredients.What is Green Lipped Mussel? Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a New Zealand shellfish, from which an extract has been shown to be useful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and osteoarthritis (OA).Green-lipped mussel inhibits inflammation in the body. Although inflammation is normal under certain conditions, consistent or excessive inflammation can result in pain and damage to the body, including the joints. The human body makes several chemical mediators for inflammation. Levels of these chemicals in the body may be higher in people with RA who are experiencing symptoms than in symptom-free people with arthritis. Research on green-lipped mussel has thus far focused on OA and RA. Although some studies have failed to demonstrate therapeutic benefits of green-lipped mussel in people with arthritis, the outcomes of other studies have been more positive. In one trial, both freeze-dried powder and lipid extract of green-lipped mussel were effective at reducing symptoms in 70% of people with OA and 76% of people with RA. A similar study of people with either OA or RA showed green-lipped mussel reduced pain in 50% and 67% of the patients, respectively, after three months of supplementation.BenefitsJoint health is important for people of all ages but unfortunately due to wear & tear and ageing, joint discomfort can become a major problem.
