It is used for joint health maintenance by people such as such as with athletes and workers in physical occupations where high degrees of strain on joints are experienced. It has been associated with improvements in mobility in those suffering from joint stiffness, swelling and discomfort.

Three key components have been identified as primarily being responsible for the beneficial effects of Green Shell Mussel Powder. It is these three compounds working together generating the synergies that comprise the anti-inflammatory moiety. Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), omega 3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA) and a unique phosphorylated glycogen molecule have all been shown independently to be important ingredients in joint health promotion. Whilst research continues to identify the exact biochemical mechanism of each compound what is clear is that the activity of the three combined in Greenshell Mussel Powder exceeds the sum of each individual component revealing an important natural synergy present in whole mussel powder.

Understanding of Greenshell Mussel Powder's importance as a joint health ingredient is on the rise as manufacturers of supplements ad dunctional foods look for proven ingredients to support the needs of consumers looking for matural joint health remedies.
