SUPER SNOUT’S JOINT POWER Green Lipped Mussel Powder provides a rich source of all major classes of Glycosaminoglycans (GAGS).
These GAGS are principle components of cartilage and the synovial fluid
found in the joint. Most notably, Glycosaminoglycan (a polysaccharide)
assists in the repair of joint tissues. These GAGS provide flexibility,
elasticity and tensile strength to the articular cartilage. The severity
of arthritis is directly related to the loss of GAGS content with the
joint and surrounding cartilage. GAGS can also exert a strong
anti-inflammatory action on the connective tissue.
What is Green Lipped Mussel Powder?
Green Lipped Mussel Extract contains a rich, complex blend of natural
proteins, minerals and mucopolysaccharides. The following naturally
occurring bioactive substances found in Green Lipped Mussel Extract are
increasingly being recognized in supporting joint mobility, cartilage
maintenance, cardiovascular health, maintaining healthy skin and for
general health:
What is the evidence that it works?
A study
published in the New Zealand Medical Journal demonstrates that Green
Lipped Mussel Powder has similar effects on inhibiting prostaglandin
biosynthesis when orally fed to laboratory animals as do non steroidal
anti-inflammatory drugs. (Note that prostaglandins are biochemicals made
in the body at elevated levels during inflammation and that
non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are thought to act principally
because they inhibit the production of these prostaglandins when
inflammation is initiated.)
Where did it all start?
Here’s the STORY
It all started hundreds of years ago…The coastal dwelling Maori tribe
of New Zealand have consumed a diet of Green Lipped Mussels for
centuries. The Maori utilized the native mussel as a high nutrient food
source, never knowing the true benefit of this perfectly packaged
powerhouse. It wasn’t until later that New Zealand settlers found that
the Maori’s never suffered from arthritis or inflammation issues.
The first researchers to take interest? NASA
In 1973 NASA scientists began a worldwide exploration in search of any
and all natural ingredients to battle cancer. The NASA researchers never
found the anti-caner benefits that they were seeking when they found
the New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel, but what they DID find was quite
fascinating:
Raw Green Lipped Mussel proved to have impressive
anti-inflammatory properties…stronger than any other shellfish or
mussel. The scientists studied Green Lipped Mussels over the next 40
years and found that the nutrients in this particular mussel was
responsible for the anti-inflammatory effect and confirmed the joint
health benefits of Green Lipped Mussel.
Where do the “Green Lips” come from?
Not your mama’s lipstick drawer!
The Mussels are farmed in the pristine waters of New Zealand. The
farmers grow the mussels ropes in shallow coastal waters, mimicking the
mussels’ natural environment. New Zealand mussel farms use no feeds,
fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides at any point. The Green Lipped
Mussels are a bio-available natural product making them very
environmentally friendly with HIGH sustainability.
Why is SUPER SNOUT’S JOINT POWER far superior to other joint-related products on the market? Purity!
JOINT POWER contains 100% nutraceutical grade Green Lipped Mussel
(which means it’s the same raw material used by top quality companies
for humans, not a lower standard “pet” quality used by some)
JOINT
POWER contains 100% pure cold extracted and stabilized Green Lipped
Mussel Powder. This means that with each scoop (provided in the jar) of
JOINT POWER, your pet is getting 250mg out of 250mg (100%) of pure Green
Lipped Mussel. This is far more than ANY other leading brand on the
market.
Suggested Daily Amount:
Suggested
daily amount is 250 – 1,500 mg per day, depending on the size of the dog
or cat and the severity of the inflammation. It should be noted,
however, that in some cases the benefits of taking Green Lipped Mussel
Powder may take two to three months to become evident. It should also be
noted that if the inflammation is severe, you can double up the
suggested amount for the first two weeks of treatment.
Suggested Daily Amount:
1 Scoop for each 25lb of body weight 1 X per day.
Note:
If severe inflammation is evident, please double the suggested amount
for the first two weeks and then feed as recommended.
Note: Always consult a licensed Veterinarian before feeding any supplemental products.
