The green-lipped mussel is also known as Perna canaliculus or Green-lipped Mussel and comes from New Zealand. Green-lipped mussel contains many interesting substances. The most well-known substances in green-lipped mussel are glucosamine, chondroitin, and all omega 3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA. This type of mussel is a popular supplement. Several patented preparations have now been developed, such as GlycOmegaPLUSTM, Lyprinol, and GLMax. The green-lipped mussel products from Vitaminstore contain the very pure green-lipped mussel patent GlycOmegaPLUSTM. Lyprinol® (PCSO-524) is a stabilised lipid extract, available from brands such as Vitals. GLMax™ is the form used in the Synofit products.
