Mussels for Your Joints

Achy joints? Eat more mussels!

Recent research shows that green-lipped mussels from New Zealand contain powerful anti-inflammatory compounds called glycosaminoglycans. These unique polysaccharides – a form of carbohydrate – act like glucosamine and chondroitin to help improve joint health.

In addition to the joint-soothing benefits green-lipped mussels may provide, they’re also an excellent source of vitamin B12, protein, and selenium. And because they’re grown sustainably under pristine conditions, you can enjoy them as often as you like without concern about contamination or damage to the environment.

[Ed. Note: Long before pharamaceutical companies started trying to make a buck, Mother Nature was serving up her own medications. Mussels are just one type of food that can help you feel better.
