Once again New Zealand has shot to international recognition with an international medical magazine  study on New Zealand's freeze-dried mussel powder produced in Christchurch.
It has been common knowledge to New Zealanders that Manuka Honey and Green Lipped Mussels are something special but it does help that the University of Queensland's School of Medicine clinical study found patients who took freeze-dried New Zealand mussel powder throughout the trial significantly eased their knee joint pain by 59 percent.
We will now see Green lipped mussel extract positioned as a natural joint relief alternative to prescription drugs which can cause side effects such as stomach cramps and pain.
It is believed that green lipped mussel extract is the next super food as it not only helps with arthritis pain but also supports gut health and may act as a pre-biotic lowering bacteria levels in the gut.
The clinical study confirmed significant relief for arthritis sufferers who took mussel power product during a landmark eight-week trial.
