Product Introduction
Mussel extract is primarily derived from the green-lipped mussel, native to the coastal waters of New Zealand. Its main components include Omega-3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, and other essential nutrients. This extract is commonly used for its potential benefits in supporting joint health, owing to its anti-inflammatory properties, and is popular in dietary supplements.
Production Process
Mussels are sustainably harvested and cleaned to remove any contaminants. They are then subjected to a freeze-drying process to preserve their nutritional content. Following this, the mussels are milled into a fine powder, which undergoes a rigorous testing procedure using methods like UV and HPLC to ensure purity and active ingredient concentration.
Product Functions and Effects
Mussel extract is well-regarded for supporting joint mobility and reducing inflammation because of its rich Omega-3 content. The presence of glycosaminoglycans plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy connective tissues. Regular use may contribute to improved joint comfort and a reduction in symptoms associated with inflammation-related disorders.
Product Application Scenarios
Mussel extract is commonly incorporated into dietary supplements for individuals seeking joint support and anti-inflammatory benefits. It is also found in functional foods and nutraceuticals, catering to people who engage in regular physical activity or athletes focusing on maintaining joint health.
Plant Source
The green-lipped mussel, known scientifically as Perna canaliculus, is an endemic species found along the coastal waters of New Zealand. These waters provide an ideal environment, resulting in mussels that are rich in nutrients and beneficial compounds.
