The Benefits
Pain-free play for your dog, even in their golden years
Joint Support
It is thought that the combination of nutrients working together may well be what makes Green-Lipped Mussel so effective towards aiding joints.
Exclusive to the Green-Lipped Mussel is eicosatetraenoic acid (ETA), an omega-3 fatty acid absent in oily fish. Scientific findings reveal that ETA has the remarkable ability to inhibit pain signals in the body, akin to non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines, while notably avoiding the associated side effects.
-
Unique to the Green-Lipped Mussel is ETA
A robust anti-inflammatory effect surpassing other omega-3 fatty acids.
-
Green-Lipped Mussel is high in omega-3 fatty acids
Green-Lipped Mussel is high in omega-3 fatty acids.
Structural Repair
Cartilage is the soft ‘padding’ of the joint, which helps to protect the bones and keeps the joint smooth. So, Green-Lipped Mussel can help to maintain healthy joints.
Green-Lipped Mussel also contains glycosaminoglycans (you may have heard of glucosamine and chondroitin — these are both glycosaminoglycans). These form part of the ‘building blocks’ of cartilage.
-
Packed full of antioxidants
Antioxidants can help to prevent, or reduce, some types of damage to cells in the body.
-
Rich in essential in minerals and vitamins
These nutrients include vitamin C and E, zinc, magnesium, copper, and selenium.
Skin & Coat
Green-lipped mussel can be beneficial for a dog's coat primarily due to its rich content of omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).
These essential fatty acids play a crucial role in promoting skin health and a lustrous coat. Omega-3s contribute to the maintenance of a strong and protective skin barrier, reducing dryness and itchiness.
-
Supports the natural production of oils
Helping to create a shiny and well-nourished coat.
-
Natural source of marine collagen
Collagen is essential for skin elasticity and strength.
The Science
Harnessing a powerful symphony of omega-3s, antioxidants, and unique compounds.
When included as part of a balanced and nutritious diet, Green-Lipped Mussel can offer a holistic approach to supporting not just joint health but also the overall well-being of a dog, including the health and appearance of their coat.

Green-Lipped Mussel is high in omega-3 fatty acids
Omega-3 fatty acids are well known for their anti-inflammatory properties.
The Science
Structural Repair
Green-lipped mussels are packed with glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), crucial components of cartilage and synovial fluid within joints. Chondrocytes and local tissues synthesise GAGs, playing a vital role in stabilising joints and offering shock absorption.
GAGs are intricate amino sugars, some with phosphate or sulphate groups that enhance water absorption into the cartilage matrix. This hydration process, vital for joint lubrication and shock absorption, tends to decrease with age. Maintaining proper hydration is critical for joint function. If GAGs are lost, joints may become stiffer, increasing the risk of injury.
-
Provides essential compounds for natural protection
Contributes to GAG synthesis with chondroitin sulphates and other building blocks.
-
Aided by reducing Inflammation
Powerful antioxidants, reduce inflammation to facilitate repair.
The Science
Skin & Coat
Omega-3s promote joint health, a shiny coat, assist with maintaining good cholesterol, and can even help alleviate skin issues in dogs
Omega-3s play a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin and coat in dogs. These fatty acids support the skin's natural barrier function, helping to prevent dryness and flakiness. Additionally, omega-3s promote the production of oils that contribute to a shiny, lustrous coat, enhancing the overall appearance and condition of your dog's fur.
-
Rich source of Omegas
Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and ETA (Eicosatetraenoic acid)
-
Can provide natural allergy relief
Helps ease allergy symptoms and reduce itching and discomfort
