Helps me with finger stiffness

GLX-3 has helped me with my hand/finger pain after waking first thing in the morning. I’ve been to chiropractors that gave some relief but this seems to help me.

Can't live without it

I knew I loved it but didn't realize I can't live without it until I ran out. After about a week my hip pain was back in full swing. I won't run out again

Great product really has helped me with the pain

No more pain!

I read about green muscle healing affects before and i tried GLX3 and man it’s amazing! Working on my feet all day on concrete outs a toll on them. And in the morning I use to have so much pain on my feet like plantar fasciitis pain. I couldn’t stand on my feet. I had to take a minute forward walking. But after i started taking two in the morning and two at night i noticed i was in less pain and less and less each day. For me it took about few weeks for it to kick in. But now i feel great in the morning. It’s amazing! And i love that is all natural.

Debunking Myths About Green Lipped Mussel Oil

Estimated Reading Time: 4 minutes

New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel Oil has many health benefits and is primarily used to treat joint pain and inflammation, often resulting from osteoarthritis and similar condition. But does green-lipped mussel oil really work?

If you’re speaking to a scientist, they may refer to green-lipped mussels as Perna Canaliculus. The bioactive nutrients in the mussles benefit the body in many ways.

As these mussels have become more of a mainstream phenomenon, more and more studies have been done on potential perks. A number of other benefits have come to light, but with more visibility comes more questions.

Let’s look at a few common questions and myths related to Green Lipped Mussel Oil. Let’s set the record straight!

Does Green Lipped Mussel Oil Help Arthritis?

This is the most common question related to green-lipped mussel oil. This is the most recognized health benefit of the supplement, as it has been proven to relieve joint pain and inflammation. In particular, green-lipped mussel oil is beneficial for osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. The mussels have effective mitigating nutrients that help joints function properly with less chronic pain.

When taken in pill form, the Omega-3 fatty acids in the mussels connect with the body’s metabolic system and are circulated throughout the body, offering benefits to all joints. There are a number of additional health benefits of green-lipped mussels such as increased mental stamina and better nervous system functionality, which we’ve discussed in our GLX Added Benefits Series.

Are Green Lipped Mussels affected by polluted oceans?

You may have read about the large ‘island’ of trash floating in the Pacific ocean, mostly constituted of thrown away plastic. There is also much talk of ocean water polluted by Mercury and other toxins that are seeping into the world’s seafood supply.

Fortunately, green-lipped mussels are native to the Southern Hemisphere. Eastern New Zealand, to be exact – far from the polluted waters surrounding more densely populated land masses and the countries that toss the most pollutants into the water.

Surrounding New Zealand are exchanging winds and ocean streams that act as a sort of protectant against much of the toxins.

This ‘complete food’ grows in an environment far removed from the vast majority of the world’s population and pollution. Therefore, Green Lipped Mussels are among the cleanest shellfish-based Omega-3 fatty acid sources in the world.

How Does Green Lipped Mussel Oil Work?

The Omega-3s and other valuable nutrients found in the raw mussels are where the health benefits come from. When cooked, much of these nutrients are lost. But when extracted into pill form, the benefits are preserved in their true form to be ingested by humans.

As the nutrients circulate throughout the body, many users notice relief from chronic joint pain in less than 90 days.

Scientists have noted these benefits in many studies. Users have noted relief from osteoarthritis, heart disease, asthma, and even certain mental conditions.

It often takes at least a few weeks to begin noticing benefits. But green-lipped mussel oil continues to see increased use as larger numbers of people prefer natural supplements and oils.

The indigenous Maori population of New Zealand were the first to discover their benefits. Green Lipped Mussels were a staple part of their diet. As a supplement, Green Lipped Mussel extracts such as oils and powders began gaining popularity in the 1970s, as multiple clinical trials were undertaken to determine whether the perceived benefits were justified.

Is Green Lipped Mussel Oil Sustainable?

When compared to krill oil and other fish sources, Green Lipped Mussel Oil is sustainable. In fact, it’s light years ahead of the competition when it comes to eco-friendliness. The mussels are farmed in renewable fashion on sustainable farms located on the New Zealand coast.

The New Zealand Minister of Fisheries enforces strict regulations on the farming of these mussels, ensuring that they meet environmental standards and practices. The farms are also subject to other government regulations and sustainability practices. The waters around New Zealand are some of the cleanest in the world, consistently circulating and providing fresh habitat and nutrients for the mussels to grow in.

How nutritious is Green Lipped Mussel Oil?

The question ‘Does Green Lipped Mussel Oil Work’ often leads into a discussion about nutrition. After all,  aren’t we all after a healthy, natural supplement that revitalizes our body in addition to offsetting joint pain and inflammation?

The collection of wholesome ingredients found inside Green Lipped Mussels offer much more than just EPA and DHA omega-3 fatty acids. These long chain omega-3 unsaturated fats blend with what is known as phosphorylated glycogen. Also found inside is glycosaminoglycan, which helps lubricate joint areas to relieve arthritis pain.

These nutrients assume a vital role in ligament recovery. Shellfish are high in protein and low in fat – another huge plus for those looking to step up their diet.

Let’s not forget about vitamins A, D3, E and B12.

Can you cook with Green Lipped Mussels?

The short answer here is yes, you can! But it is important to remember that many of the health benefits of Green Lipped Mussel Oil are lost during the cooking process. You likely won’t see the same benefits for arthritis and other ailments. We strongly suggest taking Green Lipped Mussel Oil supplements such as GLX3 to ensure that you are getting the maximum benefit. There are other recipes too that can help greatly with arthritis, joint pain, and inflammation.

However, if you do choose to cook with them . . .

We suggest steaming them with spices and mixing with pasta and/or veggies. They make a quick and exceptionally tasty supper, and you’re still ingesting a food that is high in protein and low in fat.

There are a collection of great recipes available here.

Bringing it all together

Green Lipped Mussel Oil supplements have become one of the most effective and affordable over-the-counter methods for relieving joint pain and inflammation. If your doctor recommends taking action on arthritis, GLX3 may be just the answer you’ve been looking for.
