Grünlipp Muschelkonzentrat / Green-lipped mussel from the German company Karl Minck Naturheilmittel is a dietary supplement that contains a concentrate of green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus). The product has a beneficial effect on joint health and the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. Green-lipped mussel extract has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antihypertensive effects. It supports the gastrointestinal microbiota and plays an important role in the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, asthma and other chronic inflammatory conditions.

Perna canaliculus (green-lipped mussel) is found only in New Zealand waters and is cultivated and produced for both the food and pharmaceutical industries worldwide.

Green-lipped mussels are extremely rich in a variety of nutrients. They are a valuable source of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, especially eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Their anti-inflammatory properties are due to their ability to inhibit enzymes and proteins that cause inflammation and pain.

Green-lipped mussels contain chondroitin sulfate, a component of connective tissue, such as joints and bones, that can reduce inflammation and pain.

In addition to these anti-inflammatory nutrients, clams are a good source of zinc, iron, selenium, and some B vitamins.

Mechanism of action:

The active ingredient in green-lipped mussels is furan fatty acids (F-acids). These are natural, but rare and very powerful antioxidants. F-acids are fatty acids that are often found in algae, and are responsible for their anti-inflammatory properties.

Furanic fatty acids are omega-3 fatty acids like those in fish oil that inhibit the 5'-lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase pathways - similar to anti-inflammatory drugs, but without their side effects. The blocked biochemical pathways are responsible for the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandins - two chemicals that cause inflammation in the body.

Green-lipped mussel is a prebiotic

Prebiotics have many health benefits. They help optimize the gut microbiome. According to studies, green-lipped mussel extract acts as a nutrient for beneficial gut bacteria, which exert numerous beneficial effects throughout the body. This improved state helps the body achieve balance and function optimally.

Health benefits:

• Asthma

Asthma is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the lungs and can make it difficult to breathe. Green-lipped mussel (Perna canaliculus) concentrate helps to control inflammation in the airways and thus reduces the frequency of symptoms. This can only emphasize its positive effect in patients suffering from bronchial asthma.

• Arthritis

Arthritis is characterized by painful swelling and stiffness in one or more joints and occurs as a result of chronic inflammation. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties, green-lipped mussel extract reduces joint inflammation, helping to relieve the symptoms of arthritis - joint stiffness and pain.

• Other pathological conditions

Green-lipped mussel extract is used as a complement to therapeutic practices for a number of conditions such as muscle pain, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and others.
