The shell is distinctive for its characteristic green edge. The soft part of the mussel is dried into a fine powder that naturally contains a mix of nutrients, including omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin. Green-lipped mussel has traditionally been eaten by the Maori people in New Zealand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn our range, you will find green-lipped mussel in capsule form from several brands. You can choose pure green-lipped mussel, such as the Vit4ever Green-Lipped Mussel 600 mg with 365 capsules, or a combined formula such as the LUTO Green-Lipped Mussel Complex with 90 capsules, in which green-lipped mussel is combined with, among others, MSM, glucosamine, curcumin, and the minerals manganese and silicon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is green-lipped mussel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen-lipped mussel is the Dutch name for Perna canaliculus, a species of mussel that occurs exclusively in the waters around New Zealand. The mussel is farmed and harvested, after which the meat is freeze-dried to preserve the naturally occurring substances as effectively as possible. The resulting powder is processed into capsules. Green-lipped mussel naturally contains a wide range of nutrients, making it a highly sought-after ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does green-lipped mussel come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen-lipped mussel is sustainably farmed in the clean coastal waters of New Zealand. Quality producers have the powder tested for purity, for example for the absence of algal toxins. For example, with the Vit4ever green-lipped mussel, it is stated that the raw material has been lab-tested and is free from algal toxins. When purchasing, pay attention to the origin and to production according to recognized quality standards such as GMP and HACCP.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in green-lipped mussel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen-lipped mussel naturally contains, among others, omega-3 fatty acids (including EPA and DHA), proteins, trace elements, and glycosaminoglycans such as chondroitin. The exact content varies per product and per dosage; always consult the label for the precise composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePure green-lipped mussel or a complex?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are two main variants. Pure green-lipped mussel capsules, such as the Vit4ever 600 mg, contain only freeze-dried green-lipped mussel powder and are suitable if you specifically want to supplement this ingredient alone. A complex, such as the LUTO Green-Lipped Mussel Complex, combines green-lipped mussel with additional ingredients such as MSM, glucosamine, curcumin, and the minerals manganese and silicon in a plant-based capsule. Which variant is best suited depends on your personal preference and whether you are looking for a single or combined supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eIn what form is green-lipped mussel available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithin our range, green-lipped mussel is mainly available as a capsule. Capsules are easy to dose and store and mask the fishy taste of the mussel powder. Packaging sizes vary: from a compact bottle of 90 capsules to a value-for-money large package of 365 capsules for long-term use. In addition to capsules, there are also liquid forms of green-lipped mussel on the market; in our range, the emphasis is on capsules, which are generally more practical than a liquid product in terms of dosage and shelf life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow much green-lipped mussel per day?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe recommended amount varies per product and per brand, depending on the concentration and composition. For example, the Vit4ever variant provides 600 mg of green-lipped mussel per capsule, while a complex uses a different daily dosage. Therefore, always follow the instructions for use and the recommended daily amount as stated on the packaging of the product in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhen do you take green-lipped mussel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no fixed time for green-lipped mussel; you can take the capsules at a time that is easiest for you to stick to. Many people choose to take the capsules with a meal and plenty of water. If you take multiple capsules per day, you can spread them throughout the day if desired. For the exact time of intake and frequency, follow the instructions for use on the packaging of the product in question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is green-lipped mussel interesting for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGreen-lipped mussel is interesting for those looking for a supplement from an animal, marine source. Because it is a shellfish and mollusc product, it is not suitable for people with a shellfish or mollusc allergy and is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or using medication, consult your general practitioner or healthcare provider first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for when buying green-lipped mussel?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen purchasing, look at the origin (New Zealand), the dosage per capsule, the method by which the powder was processed (freeze-drying preserves the most substances), and whether the product has been tested for purity. Also pay attention to any additives: do you choose pure green-lipped mussel or a complex with extra ingredients? Also check whether the product is free from unwanted additives if you value that.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlso view our related collections \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/glucosamine\"\u003eGlucosamine\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/msm\"\u003eMSM\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/omega-3-fish-oil\"\u003eOmega-3 \/ Fish Oil\u003c\/a\u003e, and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/collagen\"\u003eCollagen\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"vit4ever-groenlipmossel-365-capsules-600-mg","title":"Green Lipped Mussel 600mg | 365 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen-lipped mussel from Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOff the coast of New Zealand lives a mollusc that has been on the Maori people's menu for centuries, long before it ended up as a supplement in a capsule. Vit4ever's \u003cstrong\u003egreen-lipped mussel\u003c\/strong\u003e is pure mussel powder from New Zealand, with 600 mg per capsule. If you take the recommended three capsules per day, you get 1800 mg of powder, of which 43 mg are glycosaminoglycans. One jar contains 365 capsules, enough for about four months. Intended for those looking for pure mussel powder without any fillers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat the green-lipped mussel actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) is a mollusc that lives only in the cold coastal waters of New Zealand. The name comes from the green edge on the shell, by which the animal is easily recognizable. For centuries, the Maori people ate this mussel as part of their daily menu, long before there was any talk of supplements in capsule form. Naturally, the mussel contains a mix of substances: omega-3 fatty acids, proteins, minerals, and glycosaminoglycans. In addition to the well-known omega-3 fatty acids such as EPA and DHA, the mussel also contains the rarer fatty acid ETA, which is hardly found in many other food sources. Glycosaminoglycans are long-chain amino sugar compounds that occur naturally in the mussel. The complete profile of substances is created because the mussel feeds on phytoplankton from the New Zealand coastal waters, where the animal filters its entire life. This product contains only the mussel powder itself, nothing else, so no separate extracts or added substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom New Zealand, carefully processed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder comes from the Marlborough Sounds, a sheltered coastal area in New Zealand where the mussels are farmed and harvested in pure waters, far from industrial pollution. This origin is the basis of the high purity of the powder. Many people wonder why processing matters. In short: heat can break down natural substances in the mussel. Therefore, the powder is processed at a low temperature, so that the natural nutrients and the original composition are preserved as much as possible. The final product is laboratory tested in an independent German laboratory and free from algal toxins, substances that can occur naturally in certain coastal waters. Production takes place in Germany and the EU according to HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000 standards. When bottling, each batch is checked for purity and composition, so that you have a consistent quality, even though a natural product is never exactly the same twice. For those wondering why New Zealand is the source: the green-lipped mussel is found only in these waters worldwide, making the area virtually the only source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA pure formula without additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat characterizes this green-lipped mussel supplement is the bare composition. It contains pure mussel powder, with a plant-based capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Nothing else: no magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, no titanium dioxide, no artificial colors, flavors, or preservatives, no nanoparticles, and no unnecessary fillers or binders. The powder is gluten- and lactose-free and the capsule shell contains no animal gelatin, even though the contents themselves are of animal origin. The capsules measure 22 by 9 millimeters and one jar contains 262 grams net. For those who want to know exactly what is in a capsule, it is clear: no long list of unknown additives, but one raw material and a capsule shell. That makes the ingredients list easy to review, even for those who are critical of what exactly is in a supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho these capsules are intended for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis green-lipped mussel is aimed at adults who want to add pure mussel powder from New Zealand to their diet. Good to know: this is an animal product. The capsule shell is plant-based, but the powder itself comes from mussels, so it contains molluscs and is not suitable if you are vegan or vegetarian. It is an option if you eat fish and shellfish. You take three capsules spread throughout the day with some water, preferably at a fixed time so that you can easily stick to it. People who are trying green-lipped mussel for the first time often wonder if the capsules have a strong taste or smell: that is not the case, the capsule shell largely eliminates that.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: a pure green-lipped mussel powder from New Zealand, with 600 mg per capsule, carefully processed and without unnecessary additives. With 365 capsules per jar, you have a while to go and need to order less often, which also saves on packaging waste and the amount of plastic per dose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46487402938706,"sku":"vit4-111","price":35.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-vit4ever-groenlipmossel-365-capsules-600-mg-1.jpg?v=1793623861"},{"product_id":"groenlipmossel-90-capsules-rijk-aan-omega-3-silicium-mangaan-luto-supplements","title":"Green Lipped Mussel Complex | 90 Capsules | LUTO Supplements","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen-Lipped Mussel Complex Capsules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003egreen-lipped mussel\u003c\/strong\u003e complex combines nine ingredients in one plant-based capsule.

The meat naturally contains lipids and glycosaminoglycans. Per three capsules, this product provides 562.5 mg of green-lipped mussel.

The first is vitamin C. It contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage. The 120 mg per daily dose is 150% of the reference intake. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of bones. And it contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Silicon comes from bamboo extract here (30 mg per three capsules). Manganese is included as manganese bisglycinate, manganese bound to the amino acid glycine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis green-lipped mussel complex is gluten-free, lactose-free and packaged in a plant-based capsule.
