Green-lipped mussels are shellfish from New Zealand and a recognized source of complex proteins, concentrated glycosaminoglycans, amino acids, omega 3 (ETA), omega 6, nucleic acids, selenium, and chelated minerals (zinc, copper and manganese). Green-lipped mussels are a source of chondroitin sulfate, a naturally occurring component of connective tissue and joint structure in animals. They also boast anti-inflammatory properties which also provide pain relief for dogs and cats suffering from elbow or hip dysplasia.
Sprinkle daily into pet’s food. Daily supplementation can help in improving mobility and reduce pain from inflammation.
Use preventatively in growing puppies to reduce risk of joint disease and inflammation.
