Description

Joint Power 100% Green Lipped Mussel

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:

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.

Active Components

Super Snout’s Joint Power Green Lipped Mussel Powder has Glycosaminoglycans (also known as Mucopolysaccharides or GAG) containing heparin sulphate, dermatan sulphate, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulphate. These active ingredients are responsible for the anti-inflammatory and lubricating properties and result in ongoing self-repair and replenishment of joints. It also supplies minerals that are needed to metabolize vitamins, enzymes, carbohydrates, and proteins. The total GAG content of Super Snout’s Green Lipped Mussel Powder is generally in the range of 2 – 3%. Of this, nearly all is heparin sulphate (about 98%) and only 2% is chondroitin sulphate.
