Product Information

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects your lungs and can make breathing difficult. The causes of ADHD remain largely unknown, but genetics are thought to play a significant role ( 22).

Outside of these populations, some adverse side effects have been noted with green-lipped mussel supplements. However, these findings can’t be attributed to the extract alone, as people in each of the studies were also taking pain-relieving medications. The underlying mechanisms explaining these effects are in the anti-inflammatory activity of bioactive lipids in mussels including eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). What Do Green Lipped Mussels Do?Delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) is characterized by muscle soreness and stiffness that occurs 24–48 hours after an intense or unfamiliar workout and can last for several days ( 17). Studies done on both animals and in laboratories have shown that omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties that are key to maintaining joint cell structure and function. Other reported adverse effects linked with green-lipped mussel supplements include fluid retention, nausea, and upset stomach ( 1). It is a shame because they seem to work very well at controlling the inflammation and I can walk a lot more easier than I used to and my movements are much easier.

Green Lipped Muscles contribute towards a healthy musculoskeletal system, due to their naturally occurring Omega-3 Fatty Acids, plus glycosaminoglycans – which are important for improving flexibility and mobility in our joints, they can also help to reduce the symptoms of mild arthritis and inflammation. 4 So I cut the dosage down to one a day and supplemented that with two ordinary fish oil capsules and two teaspoons of olive oil every day. Because this is the only trial to date investigating the effects of a green-lipped mussel extract on ADHD symptoms, more research is necessary. Summary

Storage Condition

When the mussels eat the phytoplankton, they absorb these protective mechanisms. And so, the cycle continues – when you consume their extracted oil, you get the benefits of these protective properties. These can be signs of a serious allergic reaction and may need immediate treatment in hospital. Other side effects Green Lipped is a unique formulation that contains a proprietary blend of active ingredients, which can reduce pain, improve function and improve overall quality of life.

Due to the intense sun rays in the areas where the mussels grow, the plankton must protect themselves from the potentially deadly high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation.One study in children ages 6 to 14 with ADHD symptoms showed significant improvements in attention and learning ability following 8 — but not 14 weeks — of supplementation with a commercial extract containing 150–200 mg of green-lipped mussels ( 24). Similarly, green lipped-mussels contain chondroitin sulfate, a component of connective tissues like joints and bones that may reduce inflammation in the same way ( 8). In either case, if you’re looking to try a green-lipped mussel supplement, ensure that it was produced using methods that retain the mussels’ natural nutrient profile. Keep these things in mind before trying a green-lipped mussel supplement, or talk with your doctor if you’re unsure whether this supplement is safe for you.
