1. THE MĀORI SECRET
In the 1970s, researchers noticed something strange. Coastal Māori people in New Zealand had virtually no arthritis - even into old age. Inland Māori and Europeans did. The only difference? Coastal Māori ate raw green lipped mussels daily. This discovery launched decades of research.
2. FOUND NOWHERE ELSE ON EARTH
The Green Lipped Mussel (Perna canaliculus) is endemic to New Zealand. It cannot be farmed or replicated anywhere else. The mussels grow in the Marlborough Sounds - fed by nutrient-rich currents flowing directly from Antarctica. Each mussel filters 360 liters of this pristine seawater every single day.
3. CONTAINS A COMPOUND FISH OIL DOESN'T HAVE
While fish oil contains 2-3 omega-3s, Green Lipped Mussel contains over 30 - including ETA, a rare omega-3 found in no other marine source. ETA works at the gene level to block inflammation, making it hundreds of times more potent than the EPA in fish oil.
