What are Green Lipped Mussels? Simply speaking, green lipped mussels are a species of mussel found in New Zealand. They get their name from the green edges or lips on their shells,” Petty says.

Benefits of Green Lipped Mussels for Dogs: The best known components of green lipped mussels are Omega-3 fatty acids, including the fatty acids EPA and DHA. Omega-3s work by reducing the level of inflammation associated with diseases such as osteoarthritis. Although this is the same compound found in fish oil, in the case of green lipped mussels, this is combined with other compounds that also fight joint inflammation and pain. A good example of these compounds is eicosatetraenoic acid, or ETA. They also contain glucosamine, chondroitin, zinc, and magnesium, which are beneficial for joint metabolism. In addition, green lipped mussels have also been shown to contain glycosaminoglycans, substances with joint protective properties. Many of the other substances in green lipped mussels such as vitamins and minerals could contribute to their pain-relieving properties.

Pets or People who suffer from Shellfish Allergies should NOT take Green-Lipped Mussels.
