Modern Natura Premium Green-Lipped Mussel Capsules – Vegan Encapsulated & Gluten-Free – Perna canaliculus<\/h2>\n

Dietary supplement with green-lipped mussel powder. Vegan (plant fiber) capsule shell, without flow agents <\/strong><\/p>\n

When you think of New Zealand, what comes to mind first? The breathtaking expanses on the horizon, the endlessly green meadows, or the crystal-clear blue water found in countless rivers? Or perhaps, like many others, you think directly of hobbits and Middle-earth from J.R.R. Tolkien’s books, thanks to the world-famous “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy filmed by Peter Jackson? But New Zealand is also known for the growing popularity of the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). <\/p>\n

The New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus)<\/strong> has been a well-known natural product for centuries, already used by New Zealand’s indigenous people – the “M\u0101ori” – for its many wonderful properties, and still is to this day. The mussel provides a high content of glycosaminoglycans (GAG) (long-chain amino sugar compounds). <\/p>\n

    How are the popular green-lipped mussel capsules manufactured and processed?<\/h2>\n
    Mussel concentrate is only produced in New Zealand. And this is how it works:<\/strong>
    \nThe fresh green-lipped mussels are opened. The shell is removed. The meat is centrifuged and frozen. The frozen mussel meat is then crushed and freeze-dried. It is a gentle process that ensures the liquid contained in the meat is removed without heat application. This preserves the valuable and active components of the green-lipped mussel, especially the valuable omega-3 fatty acids. In the final manufacturing process, the mussel concentrate is ground to enable further processing into products (capsules or powder). Typical extraction ratio 5:1. (From 5 parts mussel meat, 1 part mussel concentrate is obtained).<\/em><\/div>\n

        Historical: The green-lipped mussel – The oldest natural product from New Zealand.<\/h2>\n

        The gift from the sea.<\/strong><\/p>\n

        The green-lipped mussel, also known as the green-shell mussel or Perna canaliculus, is a species from the family of blue mussels and is mainly found in the waters of New Zealand. The green-lipped mussel owes its name to the distinctive green shell edges. Also remarkable are the comparatively large shells, which grow to about 10 to 17 cm. Since the wild populations of the mussel in New Zealand are protected, it is farmed in large aquacultures due to high national and international demand. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

        The green-lipped mussel is enjoying increasing popularity around the globe today<\/h2>\n
        The green-lipped mussel has been used as food by the M\u0101ori for over 6000 years and thus represents an essential component of the way of life for members of the indigenous population of New Zealand. The green-lipped mussel is free from artificial and chemically toxic substances. <\/div>\n
