Greenshell Mussel and Animal Health
Greenshell Mussel Powder (GSM) and
natural bovine chondroitin address the issue of joint health from different directions.
Greenshell Mussel Powder is a natural anti-inflammatory that may provide benefits for swelling and stiffness associated with joint pain. Swelling itself has been shown to have a negative impact on joint health so is both a cause of joint degeneration and a side effect. Extensive research has shown that users of this natural ingredient have seen positive results with animals of different species. It is used extensively not just for addressing the symptoms of joint pain and swelling but for joint maintenance and sustaining the life of joints experiencing high physical burdens.
Options for delivery range from a "sprinkle on" formulations for wet feed, a dry mix for horse feed to tablets and pellets and liquid suspensions. Whether targeting pet owners or high end animal trainers Greenshell Mussel Powder has been shown to have the same positive applications in animals as for humans. Horse trainers use GSM to relieve the burden on tired joints when training, or as a post event recovery remedy. This is ideal as it is not a banned substance and is not known to produce banned substance metabolites. Owners of older horses whether stud animals, pets or working horses also notice the difference when incorporating GSM into their animal feeds. For those animals who shy at the characteristic aroma of GSM Waitaki can offer a flavoured GSM.
Pet dogs and cats, particularly older (senior) animals and those with congenital disorders can benefit greatly from inclusion of
Greenshell Mussel in their regular daily feeds or receiving foods with GSM as an ingredient.
