Description

Swanson New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel Oil is nature’s perfect solution for healthy, flexible joints. For hundreds of years, the native Maori population of coastal New Zealand has consumed the green-lipped mussel Perna canaliculus (also known as greenshell mussel) as a staple of their regular diet. Among modern nutritional scientists, the mollusk has gained a reputation as a “superfood” that not only helps maintain joint mobility, but also provides valuable nutritional support for the brain, eyes, skin and cardiovascular system. The health benefits of green lipped mussel are primarily attributed to its remarkable fatty acid profile, which features a roughly eight-to-one ratio of omega-3 to omega-6 oils.

Green lipped mussels are raised in the clean, protected waters of New Zealand in accordance with some of the strictest quality standards in the world. Both the mussels and the water in which they’re raised are monitored for bacteria, toxins and heavy metals. Recognized by the Blue Ocean institute as one of the top two “eco-friendly seafoods” in the world, the mussels are a truly sustainable nutritional resource, grown with no pesticides, herbicides or artificial feeds.

Swanson EFAs New Zealand Green Lipped Mussel Oil averages approximately 37.5% omega-3 fatty acids, including 21.6% EPA and 8.4% DHA. Our softgels deliver 50 mg of green-lipped mussel oil in an olive-oil base.

FAQ

What Are the Health Benefits of Green-Lipped Mussel?
Green-lipped mussel is a unique marine ingredient traditionally used to support joint health, mobility, and a healthy inflammatory response. It contains a naturally occurring blend of omega-3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans, and other beneficial nutrients that help support comfortable movement and overall joint wellness.
How Does Green-Lipped Mussel Support Joint Health?
Green-lipped mussel contains naturally occurring omega-3 fatty acids, glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), and other beneficial nutrients that help support joint wellness. Together, these compounds support healthy joint function, mobility, and comfortable movement.
What Makes Green-Lipped Mussel Different From Fish Oil?
While both green-lipped mussel and fish oil provide omega-3 fatty acids, green-lipped mussel also contains naturally occurring glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and other joint-supporting compounds not typically found in fish oil. This unique nutritional profile makes green-lipped mussel a popular choice for joint and mobility support.
What Are Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) and Why Are They Important?
Glycosaminoglycans, or GAGs, are naturally occurring compounds found in connective tissues throughout the body. They are important components of cartilage and joint structures, making them valuable nutrients for supporting healthy joints, mobility, and overall connective tissue health.
Why Is It Important That Swanson Green-Lipped Mussel Oil Comes From New Zealand?
Green-lipped mussels are native to the coastal waters of New Zealand and are not naturally found anywhere else in the world. New Zealand is recognized for its strict aquaculture standards and clean marine environment, making it the exclusive source of authentic green-lipped mussels. For many consumers, New Zealand sourcing provides added confidence in the quality and authenticity of green-lipped mussel supplements.
Is Swanson New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel Oil Suitable for Special Diets?
Swanson New Zealand Green-Lipped Mussel Oil is non-GMO, gluten free, and dairy free. However, it is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian diets because it contains green-lipped mussel oil and gelatin softgels.
