However, this amazing shellfish has so many sterling qualities that after you read this article you may be tempted to befriend him, too.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBorn and Raised Sustainably\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFound in only one place in the world, the beautiful Ninety Mile Beach area in New Zealand, green-lipped mussels are a powerhouse of nutritional goodness. These mussels which can grow up to 9” have distinctive green edges on their shells and are highly prized for their unique healthful qualities. They are carefully and sustainably raised and harvested under the strictest NZ aquaculture standards. GLMs are rated one of the top two ‘eco-friendly seafoods’ in the world by the International Conservation Organization Blue Ocean Institute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you starting to see the attraction? This mussel lives in one of the world’s most gorgeous locations, is big and colorful, deeply appreciated by New Zealanders and good for pets and humans alike. And we’ve not even touched on the real appeal yet. Drum roll: green-lipped mussels are an amazing joint support with NO side effects (unless you are allergic to shellfish when they should not be used).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOur Mussels vs. Prescription Drugs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf your dog is getting older and feeling pain from stiff joints, conventional veterinarians will probably want to prescribe NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs). These drugs can appear to alleviate symptoms, but they all have side effects such as serious liver, kidney and digestive complications that, in my opinion, negatively outweigh the benefits. And with long-term usage NSAIDs can make joint problems worse. We don’t want to do that to our pets or to ourselves!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere is where our friend the green-lipped mussel has a distinct advantage over the NSAIDs. Not only does the GLM contain COX inhibitors (anti-inflammatory benefits) like the NSAIDs, but they have none of the drug’s side-effects, and some studies have shown GLMs help to reduce gastrointestinal irritation brought on by previous NSAID drug usage. So, if you have been giving your pets NSAID drugs, GLMs may help alleviate some of those adverse side-effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen-Lipped Mussels Go Above and Beyond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGLMs have very high concentrations of Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) and also contain eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA) which is unique to green-lipped mussels. ETA appears to be a superior COX inhibitor working on dual pathways in the body for added effectiveness. Plus, GLMs are loaded with sea-rich vitamins and minerals that are beneficial to our pet’s health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is evidence that not only do GLMs aid in inflammatory conditions, but they also help maintain young, healthy joints. Many people and their pets are taking GLMs as a preventative measure while their joints are still fully functional thus preventing eventual joint deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eYour Friend is Our Friend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo, if you are interested in your joint health and your pet’s joints too, Green-Lipped Mussels are something you should consider trying. While you will probably ingest supplements your dogs and cats may enjoy. Correctly freeze-dried to retain all their beneficial components, these mussels can be given as individual treats or crumbled over food, whichever works best for your pet. Simply whole GLMs that have not been denatured by heating and whose nutrients are bioavailable to your dog or cat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI have to admit that my true best friend will always be my dog, but if a Green-Lipped Mussel can help keep us both healthy and pain-free, well, that tasty little mussel has our gratitude and admiration, just before we eat them up. What a way to treat a friend! \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"RPFDAM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139258368253,"sku":"FREEZEdriedMussels2oz","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0508\/6753\/6047\/files\/no-shell.png?v=1779720651","url":"https:\/\/www.rawpetfooddeliverymarket.com\/products\/freeze-dried-new-zealand-green-mussels-by-rpfdam","provider":"rawpetfooddeliverymarket","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
