AniForte Green Lipped Mussel Powder 250g AniForte Green Lipped Mussel Powder is made from 100% pure mussel meat concentrate from the New Zealand green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). Not de-fatted. Green Lipped Mussel Powder is particularly rich in specially selected amino acids which help to build up and maintain healthy joints. In addition to minerals, trace elements and antioxidants, the extract from the green lipped mussel contains a high proportion of glycosaminoglycans, which New Zealand's native peoples, the Maori, discovered to have a positive influence on the musculoskeletal system. This knowledge has been passed on by the Maori people beyond the borders of New Zealand. The ingredients of the green-lipped mussel are said to promote mobility and, thus, have a positive effect on the general well-being of the animal. Glycosaminoglycan: The most valuable ingredient of the green lipped mussel is the contained glycosaminoglycans. Glycosaminoglycan is an endogenous substance which is found in connective tissue, cartilage and synovial fluid for example. These GAGs (complex protein-sugar compounds) are essential for the repair and synthesis of tendons, cartilage, ligaments, and synovial joints damaged during intense physical activity. These should be consumed in a sufficient quantity as a dog supplement (or cat), as the organism cannot produce it by itself.Lyprinol: An active ingredient found only in the green-lipped mussel and containing many different omega-3 fatty acids that support the action of glycosaminoglycans in deficiency symptoms. Antioxidants: The green-lipped mussel also contains a number of antioxidants, which are particularly well absorbed if they are found to be deficient, thus helping to promote the animal's well-being.

The switch to sustainable packaging is challenging in many ways, and we are working hard to prevent passing all extra cost on to our customers. Not all so-called sustainable packaging is indeed good for the planet. It’s a slow, ongoing process, but we’re committed to improving innovative packaging.
