Freeze-dried green clam contains omega-3 acids and lipoic acid, which support the skeletal system. it is recommended for athletes and the elderly.
Research
Perna canaliculus, known as the green-lipped mussel, is valued for its health benefits, particularly in alleviating symptoms of joint diseases. Scientific research confirms its effectiveness in reducing inflammation and improving joint and bone health. Extracts from New Zealand green-lipped mussels provide nutrients to cartilage and are a source of highly effective substances that regenerate damaged bone and joint tissue. They also increase the viscosity of synovial fluid, which improves joint mobility. The indigenous Māori people of New Zealand have been consuming green-lipped mussels for centuries, and their diet is linked to a lower incidence of arthritis compared to other regions of the world, particularly among the elderly. Green-lipped mussels owe their properties to their complementing components, which include glucosaminoglycans (GAGs), phospholipids, sterols, amino acids, omega-3 fatty acids, silica, minerals, trace elements (calcium, iodine, iron, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, sodium, zinc), and vitamins (E, C, A, D1, D3, B1, B2, B6, B12, B3, B5).

Impact on Joint Health: Gibson RG, Gibson SL, Conway V, Chappell D. The study suggests that supplementation with Perna canaliculus may provide relief from joint pain and arthritis due to its content of omega-3 fatty acids and glycosaminoglycans.
-
Anti-Inflammatory Properties: Brien S, Prescott P, Bashir N, Lewith G (2008). The study demonstrated that Perna canaliculus possesses strong anti-inflammatory properties, which may help alleviate symptoms of rheumatic and inflammatory diseases by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting the production of inflammatory cytokines.
-
Support for Immune System Health: Coulson S, Vecchio P, Gramotnev H, Vitetta L (2003). The study suggests that the extract from Perna canaliculus may support immune system health by increasing the activity of immune cells and improving overall health status.

Impact on Cardiovascular Health: Whitehouse MW, Macrides TA, Kalafatis N, Betts WH, Haynes DR, Broadbent J. A laboratory study showed that Perna canaliculus may have beneficial effects on heart and vascular health by regulating blood lipid levels and improving the elasticity of blood vessels.
