- Clinically researched and found to reduce joint pain and increase joint mobility, GlycOmega PLUS™ provides a rich source of all major classes of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), which are principal components of cartilage and the synovial fluid found in joints. GAGs provide flexibility, elasticity and tensile strength to articular cartilage. The severity of arthritis is directly related to the loss of GAGS content with the joint and surrounding cartilage.
- For generations, the native coastal Maori population of New Zealand has consumed raw New Zealand green lipped mussels as a primary part of their diet. This unique mussel is known scientifically as ‘Perna canaliculus’. For centuries, it has provided an excellent source of protein, vitamins, minerals and extremely valuable Omega-3 fatty acids. For many hundreds of years, the Maoris would harvest the mussels growing naturally on the seashores and eat them raw. Even though they saw the mussel as an important part of their diet, they did not realize the benefits they were gaining. The green lipped mussel possesses a profile of Omega-3 essential fatty acids that are unique to its species.
- The presence of this rich source of essential fatty acids provides the mussel with potent soothing action. Following several years of scientific research, Aroma NZ Ltd formulated GIycOmegaTM-PLUS, a proprietary blend of cold opened greenshell mussel meat and a botanical anti-oxidant, which together provide significant levels of anti-inflammatory activity. GIycOmega-PLUS is only processed from selected live greenshell mussel meat which are full of lipids and omega-3 fatty acids. This ensures only the highest quality mussel extract reaches our customers. GIycOmega-PLUS is freeze-dried at low temperatures ensuring all the bio-activity is optimized, providing maximum anti-inflammatory activity. No steamed opened greenshell mussel meat is used in the production of GIycOmega-PLUS.
